    Quoted from Completist:

    I prefer their being a “standard” in cabinet design. I like how the row of games is symmetrical. If they changed the backbox size my OCD would have something to say about it. Its not like i’d sell off all my traditional backbox games to get all new. Its one of the reasons i havent acquired any AP games yet lol. I have a TNA flanked by 2 other Spookys on each side. The struggle is real hahaha

    I am like you actually...something about those oddballs throws the symmetry off.

    But...just imagine...the marketing!

    You don't like the prices? Well now you can get even less for the same price you used to pay for a Standard. You asked, we listened. Introducing...the Sub-Standard(tm).

    No more annoying backbox!
    2 x tweeters mounted in the apron pointed towards the player for the ultimate stereo effects
    State of the art Acrylic playfield "glass" with speaker cutouts above the apron
    4" LCD display mounted on the apron so you always know the score without needing to strain your neck in an upwards fashion

    Now you can win the envy of all your friends when you show them how many more beer signs and pinup calendars you have on your walls!

    I'm currently working on a prototype with Stern.

    Quoted from swampfire:

    What would you lean the playfield back against while working on the game?

    Well...on Alien at least, it doesn't lean against the backbox, it has a stop and stays upright.

    Quoted from the9gman:

    you never know... one day a new pinball king will come along ...sorta like Elon Musk, a game changer .....lets call him Elon pinball and there will be inovation in pinball again .... a new well accepted form of cabinet and maybe priced so well that everyone who wanted one could have one ....who knows maybe swapable playfields two so people could enjoy more then one machine if they only had space for one ....then guys with your attitude will be sitting on the front porch bitching about how the old pinball machines were the best and they don't make them with tail lights in the fins anymore......it's just a hobby and it's nothing I would dedicate my life to.....guess that's why they say...... you do you

    I'm in....as long as they don't ask for pre-order money.
