My friend got his today, went over, had a couple game, put up the GC (he hates that), looked it over...
Quoted from stangbat:-Right flipper wasn't aligned with the lane guide, adjusted that while I had the playfield up. No biggie, I imagine they aligned the flipper with the hole in the PF instead of the lane guide.
Same issue on his. Also, the bats do not seem to go as high as a proper rebuild should. I question if the proper stops/plungers are used with the same overall length as original b/w wpc95 design. I have rebuilt hundreds, and this seems like a wrong combination resulting in a not high enough bat height.
Quoted from stangbat:I'm kind of disappointed with the high end of the audio. It is rather dull. The original game had one full range speaker in the back and one tweeter if I'm not mistaken. Without the tweeter the sound lacks range. I'll probably look into a different speaker, probably coaxial, to help things out.
My friend was NOT happy with the sound. I was confused when he first told me this, as I had heard they were going to be the uncompressed originals, but yeah, it's all a little jumbled. I think what you described is makes sense as the issue.
Other than that, he was happy. Seemed to play well, smooth ramp shots, cc looked good so far. I was more excited to see the guts (well, I do enjoy having the gc on all his games ). What are the menu buttons for in the head? PCB even in the power box... All looked interesting, but time will tell on longevity. The more I see PCB's and more components, the more I think there is more possibility for new issues. Not a complaint, but we all know how pinball enjoys finding failures for us.
Also, does anyone know if the original cliffy protectors all fit the MMr, I'm assuming so, but figured i should ask, as there may be slight PF differences.
