Also, why not create a small PCB kit that counts warnings so that you can add the traditional two tilt warnings on games that NEVER had it (Bally -17 and -35 games).

Or, make it so you can have 10+ tilt warnings to make the tilt tighter incorporated more into pinball than it was ever designed.

OP
Quoted from snyper2099:
You've been there before. You are in to a long ball on LOTR and wonder if that warning 5 mins ago was a double danger or a single.
Or, you can't remember if the title warning you got was on this ball or your last ball.
Why not have 3 LED's on the apron indicating how may warnings you currently have.

This would be great and I agree it would be cool to have a real-time visual of this info. It would also be cool if tilt warnings would time-out after a certain amount of time (on a long ball).

I dig that idea. It could be like a Gottlieb System 3 apron with the indicator LEDs. I always thought that was a sharp idea.

May be possible on some titles but there has to be a better way. See above.

Why not?
Cost, available outputs, etc.

WPC(-95) titles have it in the Status Info, like mentioned.

Edit: I'm also thinking why it wasn't done in the WPC era. I'm not familiar enough with Stern to comment,

Set tilt warnings to 0 and you'll instantly know which warning you're on.

Looks like Jersy Jack added this to POTC. Sweet. Eric Meunier is paying attention to what players want.
