I was fortunate enough to get in on closed time and play. As I began I noticed and made the coment to the gents setting up that it felt more like a stern than a Williams in the flipper feel. They opened the door got into the adjustments and turned up the flipper strength. It made a big difference. I have never owned a MM but own plenty of B/W title and was satisfied with the feel after this. I can say that I was quite disappointed that PPS pulled the games out early. When the hall reopened at 11 pm they were gone. JJP and Stern stuck it out.

There was concern that there would be power issues .Not on the machines on the supply cords, I witnessed this conversation .
I would also tend to believe that anyone bringing their new product into this type of environment would use caution . These pins were fresh off the stern line, not prototypes, played continuously and they preformed well as far as I could tell. If you were the captain would you run your new ship at warp speed for 3-4 continuous days(sorry for the nerd analogy)

Again ,my assumption, Although these pins replicate past machines but they are using modern products .I am not saying this to slam anyone but lets be realistic ,what product that we use today is as robust as that of yesteryear. Voltage usage, requirements and ability's are totally different today.
Go pick up an alternator in a 2014 Cadillac and one from a Cadillac from 1986 Ill throw money on which one you can hold up longer.

Wow, do you take thing literally That was a broad example. Substitute Maytag washer in place of Cadillac .
