    Quoted from rkahr:

    This is not a good story. Nicolas stopped stocking my daughterboards about two years ago but never took them off his website. He stopped restocking them because they "weren't profitable enough" meaning he wanted a better price. I just learned yesterday he created a knock-off of my board. I've known him for several years and spoken to him many times at shows - sometimes even with the little bit of French I still remember. I considered him a friend - this is disappointing and it hurts.
    Legitimate resellers of my Daughterboard are Marco, Big Daddy Enterprises, and Little Shop of Games in the US, Flippers.com and Player One Amusement Group in Canada, and PinballHeaven in Europe. If Nicolas has been shipping his knock-off to fulfill sales from the old listing of the legitimate WPC Power fix, that is even more disappointing, but suddenly wouldn't seem that surprising.

    These things are never good... It sucks when people have to copy instead of create. I used your board to fix a nasty issue with a WW and that game is still up and running today. Thank You for being there for us. I will always look forward to patronizing your business.

    Quoted from russdx:

    Is it really that hard to just come up with your own shit?

    No it's laziness and wanting to cheap out by cutting corners and throwing others under the bus!

    Quoted from Coyote:

    this shouldn't even be a necessary product. If owners fixed their boards,

    There is nothing wrong with taking a load off an already overloaded power supply and transferring that load to a power supply that has a very small load. That's really all this is about. It makes sense to do all of your W/B machines to promote longevity of your boards. The Idea is sound and good preventive maintenance.

    Quoted from PinRob:

    Do a lot of people who install the PinSound board notice that they are in need of this bandaid board? Trying to figure out why they decided to add this also as one of the products they offer for sale.

    No it’s just a $$ maker man. It’s all about the almighty $

    Quoted from PinSound:

    We consider more options are better for everybody, as it's the case for all the products you can find around you.
    Speaking of stealing is definitely not acceptable as we do have a completely different product, thank you.

    It's not about what you have now, It's about how you got there... copying another product to advance your product is cheap, lazy and greedy. Just think for a moment if someone did this to you and your product. Not so nice eh?

    Quoted from NPO:

    If I am buying someone else's inability to diagnose a problem properly, that price is getting lowered...

    This is not always the case. There a people out there that install one of these on all of their games to prolong the life of their power supplies. The 5v supply is overloaded anyway. Some people use this board for troubleshooting. Some use it as a cheap short cut fix.
