I got to look at afmr at pinburgh (thanks Joe) and it plays fine. A couple things stood out to me though. The amber inserts seemed very translucent and coupled with the bright leds were nearly blinding. I have restored two afm's with mirco playfield swapped in and leds at those inserts. I don't recal them being as harsh as the afmr. It may just be my memory but afmr was distracting at those inserts. The blue inserts were hard to read between the flippers. Those leds were too dim. The plate at the back for the cord wasn't like the bubbled one on wpc games. It was just a flat plate. The jiggling of the martians was nearly nonexistent. I'm not sure if there's a setting in the menu to turn up but it was underwhelming on the one at pinburgh. The other was the cabinet head construction. The sides were just butt jointed versus a lock mitre joint. That seems cheap to me. I didn't get strobe multiball to have an opinion on that. I wish I would have been able to. Other than that, the screen was cool and the animations cooler. Plays like afm.

I may have been wrong about the head. I swear it appeared but jointed on the one at pinburgh. I actually ran my hand over the joint because it wasn't flush with the back panel. Looking at pictures online, it certainly looks like a lock mitre joint was used. Those look to be the top of the line one for the topper and the one at pinburgh wasn't so who knows. I very well could be wrong on that part. The martians were most assuredly not as lively as those on a wpc. IMG_2761 (resized).JPG
