Is there any chance of playing this at the Ohio Pinball Show in March?

Thanks! I am so close to ordering this game, but I would really like to play it first. This would be my first NIB, so I'm a little hesitant to commit without playing it.

I find this interesting. Are the butter cabinets really that much more fragile? I would expect an automotive clear coat to be more durable than vinyl decals.

I'm 95% sure that I'm going to order one of these (just waiting to play it first), and I am trying to decide on the butter cabinet. I thought the first WOZ cabinets that were direct print and cleared looked awesome, so I'm leaning towards the butter cabinet.

Are there any other differences between the cabinet options? I didn't think so, but I just wanted to make sure I have all the info.

I hope that's what he meant. That would make more sense.

I had no idea. That is very cool to hear.

Yes, the ability to buff out minor scratches is a big benefit in my opinion.

I think I'm convinced that I need the butter cabinet.

From Spooky's email:

"OPERATORS.... If you need mechs, coin boxes, bill acceptor doors, etc, please let Kayte know at the time of your order. The vast majority of our games go to home sales, so these items are sold on a per-need basis to help keep costs under control."

My estimate, based on available info, is about 5 months.

(~10 per week, ~120 produced, 320+ ordered)

I just ordered today, and I’m number 407. It’s going to be a long wait.

Yep. When I first thought about ordering it, I was told it would be delivered in late spring. Now, I'll be lucky if I get it by the end of the year.

I wasn't going to order it without playing it, and I finally had a chance last week.

On the left, you can click on "Game Specific Parts" and then "Total Nuclear Annihilation".

Here is the link: https://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=520&pg=1

It lists some game specific replacement parts and optional add-ons.

I’m surprised how long tilt bobs have stayed around. I would like to see a manufacturer use a digital sensor for this. It would likely be more consistent and more “fair”.

Interestingly, the p3-roc has a 3 axis accelerometer. It would be cool if Scott could combine that with the physical tilt bob to get more accurate readings.

Why do you say "I think"? Did you happen to receive #407?

I only ask because I received 272, but I thought I was 407.

And yes, this game is awesome.

I'm sure it's 407. Apparently, they accidentally built 272 as a butter, so they swapped our build numbers.

What options did you order? Just curious because I ended up with speaker lights that I didn't pay for (which I'm totally OK with).

Everything else was exactly what I ordered (butter cabinet, plastic protectors, and install knocker and shaker).

Yep, the butter cabinet got me moved way up. I didn't think that I would get it before the end of the year.

I like the black, too. I'm thinking of doing gray to match the factory leg color.

All of the lights are driven by the PD-LED boards. Those are daisy-chained to the P3-ROC with a gray data cable. If they are ALL going out, it is most likely the first link between the P3-ROC (in the backbox) to the first PD-LED on the bottom of the playfield. The cable comes in on the back right side of the playfield. There are two gray cable going to the playfield. The other is for the SW-16 boards.

It could also be the power to those boards. I think those are also daisy chained. The power comes from the power distribution board in the back right of the lower cabinet. Power wires are red/yellow/black and run to the playfield alongside the gray data cables.
