they have to make one type note board, its more expensive but if you make only one type the manufacturing price is lower.
So its easy and cheaper to change.
The backbox lock and lockbar..... well i don't care.
Cabinet and sticker problems can be solved.
just like the chipping and ghosting of the playfield, clear them like 10 years ago stern.
If they still going to listning to the managers instead of the collectors they have a problem in the future i think.
Quoted from iceman44:He's using Chinese labor to cut costs? What don't we understand?
Cut cost ....ok.
Extreme profit....ok.
Poor quality....NOT ok.
Quoted from iceman44:Show me the game and prove it.
I LOVE my Stern pins.
Here is the other thing he has to overcome. I will always recall the honest rant against the US buyers years ago.
My first roll is to go USA made and Stern delivers on that front.
Where is a Thunderbirds pin? When in doubt, I'll buy USA first, but that's just me.
If you takeout every part that is made outside the usa, cpu, lcd display, powersupply YOUR HAVE SHIT TO PLAY.
I mean nothing.
Well its a problem of modern days.
MMR has the same problem 10.000 transistors and a beaglebone on a small footprint non repairable.
What if they stop 4 years after cc ?, can we trow your mmr in the trashcan?.
JJP games pc based, maybe change for a stock pc i don't no.
Highway pc based can be changed.
And i don't see the powersupplys less more than 6 years, but easy to fix that.
So almost every modern pinball is a trow away machine.
pc motherboard cost almost nothing, so 10.000 spike2 cost less than 100 dollar a piece i think.
