I just pre-ordered on Cointaker. I know I'm a ways off from getting a game. I'll be stoked if I get one at all I guess! So I know very little about who's making these and the odds in them coming in. I don't even know if they come with a rug. Without that will my room tie together properly? Well here's hoping. At least with cointaker there's a good chance I'll get my loot back if the game never gets built.

I guess this is what happens when I lose focus during a boring zoom work meeting. Now I have 3 machines on pre-order. 2023 will be a fun year!

Deposit paid 12/14/21. invoice for final payment 12/4/2022. Invoice states game should ship end of January. We'll see.

More importantly, does this come with the rug?

Paid invoice 12.3.22. Invoice stated game will ship end of January
Still no call, no game. Anyone else in this situation? I thought paying the full invoice meant the game was shipping out.

I'll call tomorrow. But a little concerned

Awesome.. I'm 4 days behind you on the order date and really close on the invoice paid date. Expecting the call any day!

Just talked to Melissa and she assure me my game will ship next week!!!

2 issues so far.

1. Vuk to upper playfield ball sometimes gets stuck on entry switch.

Need to remove building and investigate

2. Bowling alley limit switches not consistent.

Removed the bowling alley and with some precision bending I got it working pretty good. Though it's not the best design it would have been great if it used optos instead. I feel it will fail again

All in all very stoked. Way more exciting than the 2 sterns I got over the last several months. Most exciting pin I've received in years.

Put up a 45M score which included 2 extra balls. Is that good?

was a very simple fix. The wire on the switch just needed to be bent inward a bit. The end of the wire was getting hung up on the playfield inside the slot. bent it back and it's now working 100%. Bowling alley is a little off. not ready right switch closed when far left. It's a very touchy switch. I better order more before I get the pliers out.

Understand how it works, but it's difficult to actually get it to work. At the far left position it's difficult to get the switch to click. Thinking of boring out the holes in the switch itself so I can move it left a bit

It's worth the wait. best game I have in my collection

I want rugs for all my games now. Odd nobody is doing those. Seems like a great business. Pinball just plays and slides better on rugs. Looks awesome too

Get a playfield protector. Lotsa dimples after a month of huo usage. Also make sure you have a good set of the sun shaped screwdrivers. Mine needed several adjustments. Today there were 5 screws in the cabinet. Bowling alley needed work too.

If dimpling is "normal", then why do none of my BW games have any dimpling?
