    My Capcom Breakshot's adjustable-power flippers were tight and snappy but the settings were not something to be vicariously toyed with or you could easily start breaking things. Very solidly built.

    For EMs Gottlieb wins for me, unless you're more into really fast playfields and DC power and then Williams was the master at that. Bally multiplayer cabinets also felt like they were built like a tank like Gottliebs.

    Oh and there was a Williams EM era I loved in the 70s as far as how the game felt in your hands. Very deep, smooth palm rail and the flipper buttons were flat but with a smooth rounded-off edge, and no bezel. The button when pressed was flush with the rail. I really loved the ergonomics of that setup on my Doodle Bug.
