Quoted from jimwe5t:Heavy in pinball terms usually means outdated, old tech and very cumbersome. Anyone that has tried to move a widebody JJP machine knows the weight of poor design and old mech tech is as heavy as a small automobile (lol). Stern, Spooky, American Pinball, CGC has the weight balance figured out and for good reasons to stay with that balance.
That’s why Pat has always refused to make widebody anything. He gets it and understands why no modern company makes that albatross of a design any longer. The ball meanders all over the play field on a widebody, along with all the other physic issues constantly happening.
Wait, you're giving props to stuck-in-the-past-designs Pat Lawlor while decrying the use of old tech? Talk about ironic.
Stern cabinets are splitting, playfields are cratering, scoop welds are breaking near the top prematurely, switch legs are falling off in the first few months, coil stops are breaking after less than 100 plays, Stern pins no longer include power cables for the bill validator...because of excessive Stern COST REDUCTION. It has nothing to do with "weight balance" targets. Your whole post is a Stern apologist's wet dream.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Kinda feel bad that both Frank and now Shannan are now gone from JJP. At least they hired barryj and dandandan !
Where'd Frank go?
Quoted from smalltownguy2:He was quietly escorted out. Not sure why.
Literally? Are you joking?
If that's what really happened, that's not good...

Quoted from PtownPin:This pandemic might have been good for JJP....layoffs, furloughs, reduce overhead, push restart when its over...
Don't forget government free money to help with the shutdown losses.

Quoted from finman2000:I have to admit, I found the sign unappealing when I saw it. It is for real.
Needs to be in neon. That would rock the logo.
