Playfield management would be simplified if the playfields shipped in custom hard plastic suitcases. Like handgun cases with foam inserts.

Would increase upfront cost a little, but it would be the best solution.

Sorry to post in an owners thread, but i may very well become an owner in the next week or two. Just waiting on some shipping quotes.

Yeah, i'll just use the boxes, but read the whole thread including all the pages asking Gerry to do storage solutions. Just seems that it would be a 2 birds one rock thing for Multimorphic is all and hadn't seen the case idea mentioned.

Did you even read what i posted?

You know, the bit where i said i read the whole thread?

Those people are still asking for a better solution and Multimorphic has been looking at it. I threw a suggestion in is all. I live in a warehouse, couple extra boxes are no problem to me. Suspect you haven't got this far though.

Yeah i get you. Can't be better.

What other thread?

Any in NSW Gerry? Would love to play one.

Deposit coming your way shortly.

I'm in! Can i play in your fort now? Is there a secret password?
Are there any girls here?

Do we chuck rocks at those Haggis guys or anyone who attacks the fort?

Wait a sec....i'm a Haggis guy too.

I wish. Paid the deposit just now, 3 months lead time and then 8 weeks on the water.

Haven't been this excited about getting a machine since my Sorcerer was coming.

Hope one of them is not mirco.

Yeah watch buffalo pinballs p3 stuff on the tube.

Watching that game of Rocs was what tipped me over the edge to purchase, thanks for your efforts.

Shit, they have spare games and i have to wait months for mine...

Shattered. Email from multimorphic in my inbox this morning got me jumping up and down in my chair.

Great news about the wifi update, but not the news about game being ready to ship i was hoping for.

Gerry V Jersey Jack?

Hah! Not in the same class. Ones a responsive person who's in business to please his customers, and the other one....is not.

Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email! Got my email!

Almost ready to ship in any case.

Fucking hope so, just paid the invoice and my hearts still fluttering.

Thanks, the price of two Stern Premiums by the time i get it half way across the world.

Keep telling myself i'm getting 8 or 10 games for that money, but i have games here i don't play. It's a lot of dosh sight unseen, and it's not like a Stern prem that i know i can sell for at least what i paid for it if i don't like it. I AM used to buying games without playing them though and haven't gone wrong too many times yet. (Orbitor1, Spectrum, Black Hole)

May list my Hobbit BA yet to take some of the sting out of it.

Not much Gerry can do, it's third party.

Sure, flick me an email to [email protected] . Haven't got updated shipping yet, but i do have shipping costs for air and sea for one game and one extra module from a month or two back as well as game costs (which are published, but i've found Gerry to be pretty good as far as looking after you where he can).

Hi Garry,

Looks like our account updated with the funds yesterday. So we're good to go. We expect to have the machine and playfields ready to go by mid next week or so.

We'll advise when it's ready!

Thanks.
- Gerry

Yippeeeee. Here it comesssss (whirlwind reference)

Youtube of Rocs is what pushed me into the purchase. Just love the concept of the pinball/arcade mashup, even though i have not one iota of interest in arcades.

Just got an email from Gerry. My P3 is on it's way down under!

At least he knows it won't be peeling, chipping and devaluing itself that way

Plus he'll be dealing with a company that appreciates the support and loves their customers. Very wise decision.

Thanks too Gerry for the simple instructional videos, just watched all 16 of them. Who else in pinball makes a video to tell their newbie customers how to take the glass off?

Really looking forward to supporting Multimorphic into the future and showing the game off to as many people as i can.

Dunno what that is.

I had a mate come round today and predicted to him that he'd buy one once he played mine.
He asked if you can do linked machines/heads up over a few miles via internet?

Sure, i'll have a look, thanks.

Can you tell me how you use the machine? What modules do you have?

Do you swap from module to module and game to game a lot, or do you find your self mostly playing the same games/modules?

Shipping agent just updated me. P3 should land in Perth (3 days drive away) tonight as all flights into Brisbane/sydney are booked out for weeks.
Said it should be on a truck Friday, so i will see it the end of next week.

I'm already standing out the end of the driveway hopping from one foot to the other and holding my dick.

Yeah, air freight was horrendous, up nearly 2k from the quote i got a month or two back when i ordered.

But i neeeeeeeddddd it.

C2Y2jmiUoAAS07u (resized).jpg

I still have a few weeks before I'm due to take Deadpool and GnR to the biggest P'ball show in aus. If I'm confident with it and have the tweaks all sorted it's still a possibility of making it to Pinfest Newcastle.

https://pinfest.com.au/

To all those who've unboxed, can this thing be laid down in the box? Doubt it will fit in my transit upright and it's being trucked from Perth to Brisbane where i was thinking about driving up and getting it.

I'd prefer not, so if it has a side up side besides the top of the box, that's all i need to know.

Thanks Gerry, in that case i'll get it delivered.

Colour me happy.

p31 (resized).jpg

Dunno how heavy it os i lifted it off with the fork.

I'll set it up over the next couple of days, I'm going to play my mates Haggis Celts this morning, an hour up the road.

Gather with the magnets i can't use ninga balls?

Any suggestions on how to get the game to recognise the module that's in it? Any cables i should reseat etc?

DSCF9933[1] (resized).jpg

Thanks guys. Off to my mates to play Celts, i'll check the plugs when i get home.

There was one of the three plugs in the heist module loose, looked like a phone plug. Is there supposed to be only three sockets on the heist playfield?

It worked sorta ok for a few games and then the flippers died mid ball and won't start back up.

Flippers were the usb coming loose all by itself again i think.

Now Lexie playfield won't work, constant ball search.

sigh...

Haven't opened the back box. Gerry did reply to me earlier and said he was at expo when i asked him about the extra games. He said he'd forward my questions to support.

I'll go try the back box, thanks for the help. I'm bad at tech.

DSCF9934[1] (resized).jpg

Got heist back in and going.
I DID forget to move the balls when i first put Lexie in, so i removed it and redid the balls (had fixed itself) reseated all connectors in the backbox and the playfield. It stopped ball search, but it sounds the same, like it's trying, and failing to launch the ball over and over.

The game comes up with an error on startup - No Signal-SAE 27CI

Thanks guys. I'll have a look at the module shortly. The error only flashes three times on the backbox display and then works fine after boot up as said. It was just that it came with a piece of paper that said if it displayed that error to check the backbox leads.

I appreciate the help, hopefully my tech mate comes to comp today and will help me with it.

Looks like you nailed it. Alignment seems to be it by the bur, but i have NFI how to fix that.

DSCF9938[1] (resized).jpg

DSCF9939[1] (resized).jpg

Thanks mate, i'm having real trouble understanding what you are saying. I'll wait and ask my mate.

Thanks, i've watched all the vids, but i'll check next time i put it in if all those things look perfect.

Is there a way to do a rest or something on these?

It's seized on rocs and powering up and down does nothing and no buttons work now. Started by a game of rocs blowing up and one scoop wouldn't reset, now nothing happens.

No, what i'm saying is powering the game back on and off get's me to the frozen rocs screen. I can't get out of it.

Fucked if i know. It's been off overnight and i powered it up to the app screen.
Yesterday i power cycled it 3 or 4 times and it came back to the same rocs frozen screen every time.

As far as missing the launch tubes, it's never succesfully launched a ball 1 onto that playfield since it came here. I assumed that was the one it was hitting, but it sounded like the far right one each time, i don't know and i don't know how to see the alignment.

I don't know how to do videos, but how can i do a video of it failing to launch a ball?

It seems to go alright for a game or two on some of the playfields and then one of the scoops will stick up or not pop up and then it just seizes up or power gets cut to the flippers or something else. Haven't got more than 3 games in a row on it without it shitting itself tyet.

I'm sure we'll work it out, and i appreciate the help. Poor thing's been halway around the world and then got put on a truck for 4000km.

Thanks Gerry. Was a pity that i couldn't get it out of lock while my tech was here, i have a hard time understanding all the operating systems. We definately waited more than half an hour at one stage as we were playing other games too, but i may have not given the comp time to discharge at other times.

Sometimes while playing Rocs on the heist module (or even Heist) i'll hear a ball try to launch then a few seconds before a second attempt. Costs me shield health so that's why i notice it

I haven't put the Lexie one back in yet, but that's the one that's never successfully launched a ball.

Still haven't heard from support after you notified them the other day.

Thank Gerry i know it's a big weekend for you guys and i'm having fun with the machine while i wait to get it all functioning.
It's not my first machine and i know they never work properly out of the box.
I also knew i'd never have a problem with support from you and your team before i laid my money down, so i don't want to come off all needy.

In the next few days i'll have a chance to try and figure out the diagnostics and swap the playfields etc, but work will get in the way today i think.

Thanks for the tips. I Will probs play with the launch strength on Heist today if i can figure it out.

Been starting to learn the geometry on Heist and completing the odd mode to get tween 2 and 4 million over the last couple of days. Really enjoying the machine.

thanks for the well wishes, if we ever get to travel again you would be most welcome here.

Haven't even got the lexie playfield back in yet. neither that CCR or the hesit playfield will serve a ball now, just hear it trying to load. Even when it does physically work, the software crashes the games or one of the scoops stick up until i pull the glass. Haven't played a full game on it yet.

I don't know how to do video calls mate. I went into diagnostics yesterday, found all the coils, but pushing the buttons just showed them pushing a ball with a Q mark but it didn't sound like an actual coil firing.

I can't make heads or tails of it. I don't know if my tech mate is coming this sunday or not, but i sure hope so. It's frustrating after flying it in to not be able to play it.

Ok, was just relying on the community support here, but can certainly go through email.

I'm not frustrated, i know they'll make it right.

Sort of, we are still working through it and there are more parts coming from the States atm. Been pretty disappointing really, considering i airfreighted it in so i could play it quicker.

I think if Gerry talked to Paul at pinball sales and imported them at a set price there would be much more interest in Australia. People don't want to do private imports with brokers etc, it's my core business, so not so scary for me i guess.

Not sure yet. They sent me a motherboard that didn't fix the issues i was having, then they had me going over all sorts of stuff until i threw up my hands and admitted i was technically incompetent.

So then they got a tech in and he has disabled a board that seemed to sort of solve the issues i was having. They now have a board and some cables coming to me (although it was weeks ago it was disabled) and the tech has to come back and see if that has resolved it ....sometime.

I have to say it hasn't been my best pinball experience at all. And i'm thousands in the red because of the air freight as i was excited and hoping to take it to Pinfest to show it off to Australia.

My mates who were interested in buying one are no longer interested.

It's all good, Gerry and TJ have been pretty good and they do seem to want the game to work properly. I'm lucky i have a tech close to me i spose as the problems have been way above my skill level.

Got my p3 playable last week and starting to explore it.
I swear Heist is the most linear game i've owned, at least since Pinball Magic.

Everything is the same every time.

The worst bit of the code hit me last night while playing.

Had cat Burglar mode running, so it's two shots to start the mode and then 4 shots to start the multi and complete the mode right?

That's a very hard ask for a below average player, i can do it one game in twenty maybe.

So i do it, 3rd ball and i make the 4 shots in the allotted time, over the moon. The ball goes down the outlane on the return from the last shot as i'm hearing the callouts saying well done etc. No worries, it's multi.

Fuckin NO!

ball gone.

What a kick in the box.

Every other machine if you start the mode/multi etc (think wellwalker on TWD) the ball comes back with a ballsaver.

Turned the machine off in disgust, not fun.

I can't imagine anyone being pleased when that happened to them.

My comment was really aimed at the shattering disappointment from the ball drain, rather than the linear comment that's been seized on. The game is really hard for me and to have that pulled out from under really spoilt my day.

It does seem like i have to go about the game the same way everytime. With AFM or Deadpool or other games i can go after different objectives (conquer mars, tna multi, 5 way combo etc). In this game it seems it's start police multi for no reason, or start a mode.

I'm not a programmer, i have difficulties with technology. I also like to play the games as they come from the factory, i think making them easier is cheating.

Yes, Gerry does.

[email protected]

As said, talk to Gerry. you have to buy it in $US (unless it's changed since midlast year with the dist) and then privately import it.

Gerry's got a guy, but PM me if you want an aussie broker who can do door to door instead of port to port.

It owes me around $28kau, but i flew it in with three modules.

But what are the people who have going to do with a signed translight?

Not for me, i don't do prints as art.

Door to door i use Stockwells for my business as well. It's a family business and the owner is a pinball nut as it happens.

https://stockwells.com.au/

Heh-Heh-Heh-HEHHH-Heh

I expected to read there should already be a woodpecker installed.

.

Well done mate, enjoy.

That didn't happen.

You chose to interpret the comment that way despite it being obviously not saying that. Then you were rude. You are in the wrong mate.

Seems like good thinking what he means, but what do i know? I'm not a think what he means guy.

It's not the size of the pallet, it's how you load it......

Best bet is to ask Gerry what he can do for you. He's very accomodating.

Three times in three days you've been flat out wrong with your expert knowledge.

Time to give up being the NAC.

He's making assumptions in lecturing you about making assumptions. He's bulletproof.

Mine was just before Al and there is no art on the speaker panel.

Al is the only one on the website that comes with a speaker panel magnet.

Surely won't be long till the modders find P3 though.

Fuck the poker machine off and put a shelf in there for the playfields?

I can't use the multiple buttons, my brain is too small. I can sometimes remember to use it on the plunge, but that's it. Never used the other button and wouldn't have a clue what it does.

15

Taking my P3 to Pinfest Newcastle in a couple weeks. Biggest pinball show in Australia.

Sure, it will be on the end of our row, so should come up ok. I'm taking 6 games and there's a few others from our Pinball Team taking games too.

There'll be some games in my collection going that most people in Australia would never have seen, including the P3 and my Sunset Riders.

Yes, Multimorphic do.

You do you, but they are the only people who know the real answer and if you are contacting them with a sales enquiry i don't understand your reticence.

Hope my customers don't feel that way.

Hope you have the used system lined up, i wouldn't think it would fall in your lap. Good luck with it all.

I thought my neighbours were trying to annoy me by playing a car revving sound. Took me a week to realize it was CCR attract sound.

Waste of money anti glare. you still get reflection from the lexan.

JJP GnR.

Would you believe it if it was repeated or could you just read it again and then believe it?

I'd believe it, i have one. The main playfeild is a piece of lexan though, it doesn't have any art, but shows the TV screen below it.

The statement was made and you asked for it to be repeated., so yeah triggered my whatever that word you made up means.

But come on, really?

Capture (resized).PNG

Mine is all screwed up where the posts were torqued.

Gerry looked after me, i still have credit with him that i'll probs spend on flipper upgrade.

Sure it's not coin mechs?

No i did not, in fact i don't see a need for the ugly coin door on any HUO machines, but i'm in a minority of one on that front as it's not 'tradition'.

Preaching to the wrong choir brother.

No dissent permitted here. Prepare for a gang kicking.

Out of the club, my p3 sold within a day of advertising here. Thanks for putting up with me guys and gals
