Someone mentioned this on a post today from the Woz forum.
Jack also mentioned the new production boards today at MPE. He was going to show a picture but ran out of time. He noted that current prototype boards were created "in house" and simply are not up to production standards. He said it appears certain circuit connections are vulnerable to static and causing minor issues (including a possible issue they've seen with playfield lighting?) and they expect the quality of the production boards will resolve all of that.
I hadnt heard of these issues before. Not sure what it all means yet. Will wait for the new batch of boards that are ?? arriving on the 8th of the month and see if these fix the current board issues.
Nothing else to report, but still lots of discussion of flipper strength being not enough with playfield lowered to a angle which slows gameplay.
The guy who wrote the above post suggested playfields were lowered to overcome lack of flipper strength, then said he wasnt sure of if flippers were or werent a issue.
All different opinions on ths stuff, but I think the best opinions will be from Ausie buyers when they play the real games when set up in Australia.
