 movie, band, tv show, car theme (ford, holden), suitable for the world scene.....



Definitely one of these! For more, you're gonna have to wait for Mike!

Mike are you able to give us an indication of what board set you will either be using?  Will it be entirely your own design or an adaptation of an existing board set?  Same with the assemblies - Stern, Bally/Wms designs or your own?

The perpetual licence is going to be a game changer for sure.  When you think of it, something so simple really and I wonder why it hasn't been negotiated before.

Keep the info coming......please.

Remember that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I say is subject to change at any time with no notice........

BUT....

You heard it here FIRST!!!

Flipper assemblies will be dual coil (much like WMS with a heavy coil for power and a light coil for hold) BUT the frame will be machined aluminium with roller bearings for the flipper shaft

A VERY well known industry veteran is in negotiation with me now for playfield design - programming details and system are not finalised yet but it WILL be an embedded system like every single (reliable) pinball made.
