Quoted from JafCo:

First, the playfield registration didn't appear accurate -- rollover switches weren't centered in the graphics, for example.

Umm...screw screen tearing. If this is true - lets get the playfield graphics centered. I thought the majority of playfield had already been created. That makes me freaking nervous. Here's to hoping the graphics are centered and solidly printed.

Here's what I'm worried about - now granted the file name is "PreProPF" but I would be furious if my machines playfield wasn't aligned properly.

Quoted from JafCo:

This is what the PF looked like on Saturday. Hopefully it was from the same pre_pro run.

The MM's that I've seen in person and nearly every one that you see online is pretty darn centered. Obviously there is a margin of error here that is ok...but I would NOT be ok with that pre-pro playfield. Hope Rick knows that.

There's a big difference between these two. Top is MM original. Bottom is MMR.

Posted something on the PP forums about it and Rick addressed my concerns. I am good to go.

Can't wait for my MMR!

Quoted from Barron:

There are people who want the original pressing of Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl & there are people who want a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs half-speed master pressing of Dark Side of the Moon. The people who want the MFSL pressing are willing to pay $300 for a modern pressing in the highest fidelity possible, the vintage collectors pay $25 for their pressing.
This is nothing new in any hobby. It all comes down to taste. Do you want hi-fi modern electronics and a brand new copy of your favorite title? Or do you want the one you played as a kid? I go either way. I want what I can afford. Having said this, I'm lucky to have a MMr to play on location just three blocks from my house (esp. on cold days like today). It's held up down there for three months or so now and gets played constantly. I've never seen it off. Playfield still looks great, the game still plays snappy, & I really like what Chicago Gaming has done with their LED lighting. Best I've seen on any title, custom or stock. They're bright like LEDs should be but without being overpowering and the tend to twinkle off an on like an incandescent.
You could go to any hobbyist site and there are always TeeKee's harping about the original pressing of things. Hell, I have a $500 original UK mono copy of The Zombies Oddyessy & Oracle on CBS that I picked up for $50. Do you think I'm gonna say that that thing doesn't sound like gold on my handmade Dynaco ST70 reissue? Is it the pressing or the amplifier? Perhaps it the turntable? I dunno.

THIS. THIS. THIS.

Quoted from CAPnT_PPS:

MMR Update from Chicago Gaming Company: 1-12-2015
« on: Today at 05:48:35 PM »
Last week, during Stern’s inbound inspection process, finishing issues were identified with four MMR components. We have returned these items to the related vendors and just received confirmation that rework is being expedited and modified components will be received later this week.
I would like to offer my appreciation to the Stern team for bringing this to our attention. Absent any additional issues, production should commence by Monday (1/19/2014). I hope to soon be able to report an exact date the first units will come off the line.

Wonderful! That's some great news.

Guys...they are doing this right - we're going to have a gem when these things start shipping! So excited!

Quoted from o-din:

A "joint " effort then.

Let me just say this right now...

If my machine's playfield is as misaligned as that, it's going back to Chicago.

...waiting...waiting...waiting...

There have been about 20 times this month I've thought "Wow! Now would be a great time to rack up a few games of MMR." but Alas that's not possible.

Send me my game please...

#578 9 years ago

Did any ship today? Any celebratory pictures?

#587 9 years ago

Has Stern already moved to their new facility or is that another delay we have to take into account?

#589 9 years ago

Any clue on how long the delay will be from the move?

#594 9 years ago
Quoted from spfxted:

was this the Positive MMR Thread?

Was...now there is no such thing. I went from totally satisfied and excited, to disappointed, to bewildered - now I'm just an angry customer. It's simple:

If you ARE going to take forever - keep the customer satisfied by TALKING to them. If that means 3 times a week...then make it 3 times a week. I don't care if it's about a missing screw they are waiting on.

#595 9 years ago

When I was asked for my full payment - I didn't expect a machine the next week, or month for that matter. Now it has just gotten weird.

#597 9 years ago
Quoted from spfxted:

...are you serious?

Of course I am. Obviously it shouldn't be that often at the beginning but depending on customer sentiment you should ramp up or slow down.
