As soon as you see the parking lot full of cars at the facility that the assembly will be taking place at, you know that you are 6 months away from the game rolling out.

You know that there will need to be forklift operators, people making wiring harnesses, assembling cabinets, soldering parts, sorting shipments, testing machines, cleaning glass, touching up paint, populating playfields, prepping boxes....

You guys can guess and speculate forever, or someone who lives nearby can drive past the facility once a week and watch for when all the workers get hired in.

Simple really.

I know, I'm a Logic Rebel by nature.

Yep, that's all standard stuff even back in the Williams days (except that everyone else made their own wiring harnesses) .

I thought Stern got their coils from CC in Chicago.

JJP is using Williams hardware, so the complete Chinese made assemblies are available from several vendors cheap:

No big deal either way, if I can assemble a flipper assembly in 2 minutes - then someone who does it all day long can probably do it in 1.

If the NJ department of consumer affairs is so powerful, how come they have not shut down MAD?

Our flipper assemblies are 100% manufactured in the USA; the coil, the plunger, the link, the pawl, the nylon bushing, the coil stop, the coil bracket, the EOS switch, the grommet, the base, the spring, everything. Everything.

That's good to know!

Where is your "MADE IN USA" Flag and Label?

Nothing on your website stating country of origin either.

I mean, maybe somebody named ROC packed this bag, but when I see a label like that, I think Republic Of China, LOL.

Whether it is or isn't, how does anyone know YOUR product is made in the USA?

Your website does not state this.

Your packaging does not state this.

Your invoice does not state this.

Have some pride in the USA and let the people know!!!!!!!

So all that playfield rubber that is not marked, yet is made overseas is illegal?

I thought only clothing and food had to be marked?

I was not condemning any company AT ALL.

I was showing that some flipper rebuild kits appear to be made in China (or packed by "ROC", and that makes people think "Republic Of China").

So there is going be be confusion with the buying public if a company, selling a identical looking product, does not label their product as MADE IN USA.

I have rebuilt 1000s of flippers, and if I did not know that PL sold American made rebuild kits, how would ANYONE know?

I totally believe Terry is telling the truth, LOL.

I just would love if he shows some USA pride and puts it on his packaging and/or website.
