Last 2 posts were excellent!

You have to read between the lines with all Jacks stuff.. same as anything else.
He is being blasted for missing the deadline.. if i were him id be VERY reluctant to give another unless it is absolute concrete.

Jack has had all new tooling done and now has signature parts... my guess is that he didnt really intend to do this and it has been born out of necessity which would give significant delays.
It would have been far easier to buy a large batch of WILLIAMS or STERN coils etc and make a pinball using them... maybe these people either wouldnt or couldnt fulfill Jacks request?
In saying this though... its all done now and everything can be done " in house".
My old man always told me that if i have to rely on others then expect to be let down time and time again.
Delays like this would be for the first game only... i expect Jacks silverball to be running at a cracking pace after this
