The interlock switch & coin door ball saver was a great thing when your in the middle of a 4 hour IFPA sanctioned tournament & something came loose is lying on the playfield & you need to remove the glass while the player is in the middle of an incredible ball & has the ball trapped with the flipper till tournament officials could open the coin door & observe the ball drain for service issues.

Its a huge pain to have someone keep the flipper button pushed while there is someone else playing to the left & right of the machine & Im trying to take the glassout & do whatever service is needed. Its hard to have a customer that involved with you when trying to preform service.

I understand that, I guess once that coin door opens I want the customer back from the machine, just 12 years of coin op route operating and a million comments when trying to do my job I wanna focus at the task at hand. I wanna make the process as easy as possible for me & my customers.

It shouldnt take 2 people to perform minor service issues like this.

Totally agree.
