AND who did JJP copy from, every working part on their pinball machine is copied or borrowed from a Williams part. They only thing they didnt copy is the LCD screen, or did they copy that from a Williams Pin200 like RFM or Star Wars Ep 1 and just update a monitor to a LCD screen. That puts it into pespective.
Of course JJP have "copied" some things (virtually everything in fact), because they are building a pinball machine. Some things will naturally be common to any pinball machine.
Talking here about innovation - taking what we have and bringing it forward a step. Absolutely, B/W did it with P2K. JJP has done it with an LCD screen, like we see here on this Getaway.
