Quoted from AkumaZeto:His latest rant.
Looks like he is violation of a Williams Patent on his flipper opto Board
Now owned by PPS, Telling a Patent holder to get stuffed will end up in Disaster.
New Heading will be PPS Aquires Thunderbirds License
Not my problem
But i can see some Lawyers making a few thousand dollars out of that mess.
More money spent on Lawyers less parts for everyone.
Yes, Keith is right
I transferred full ownership of 78 US patents i bought from WMS to PPS
WMS no longer owns them, and they cost a fortune to renew, about $4k each for the 12 year renewal.
So why would you let someone make something or use it in a game without paying a licensing Fee.
Ha Keith could do the software, he will be finished his project soon and would love something simple to do
Looks like he is copying Williams parts, leg plates and coils etc, copy from the best, even Stern has their own parts.
Pity his Hankin clones are nothing like the Originals
You know China Same same but different a thousand different ways.
I hope they are not like Zizzle or those licensed Gottlieb King of Diamonds remakes from China
Who cares where it is made, if made in Australia it would be $15,000 trust me I know
There are a lot of parts in Sterns made in China and Taiwan, most parts from Happ are from Asia
Didn't stern make NBA in china?
king of Diamonds remake and Zizzle Games??
As long as quality is ok.
In Australia we have people selling arcade games made in Australia, using flats packs or 99% parts from China
Quoted from oldskool1969:I care and make a conscious decision to buy Australian when possible.
Well you are buying American now, and not supporting Australia so how is it any different??
Quoted from wiredoug:yep to this day we pay 5% duty on pins .. all container pins . all new sterns..
No we don't pinball are duty free
Quoted from Homepin:That's exactly what we are testing for now. We are experimenting with different types and mixes of plastic to hopefully find the best one for this job.
Nylon and glass mix
Well its not made in Australia, and if it was they would have to be commercial qty, then the manufacturer can apply for duty to be charged on imports, same reason why car duty will be dropped in 2017. As we will no longer make cars here.
They should use all the car duty and inject back into the car industry but stopped doing that.
Also Hankins lost money making pinballs even with mostly imported parts they used
I buy millions a year, I do know what I am talking about
if you are paying duty get a new customs broker
Yep your wrong
Try and claim back all the duty paid, you bring in, you mean marc? Unless you now own marks business
