Doug called me from Chicago Gaming and explained at length what they are pursuing as a fix.  He is an extremely friendly and professional guy. I appreciate the time he dedicated to walking me through the process.  I am convinced after speaking with Doug that not only are they committed to quality but they truly care about their customers and the gaming experience they are providing. When they become available, I plan to install one of the diffuser kits on my MMR.  In a nutshell, CG kept the playfield to be 100% accurate and true to the original including the insets (as you know, they were not originally designed for LED bulbs).  The LED's are too bright and the diffuser will adjust them accordingly.  Any changes to the inserts or playfield would have compromised the original intent of keeping the game authentic.

I still prefer my MMR over the original collector quality MM that I sold last year.  The MMR plays better (in my opinion) and looks great.

I do not know if they are changing the printing process, this is a question that should be directed to Doug.

yes i think doug phoned around most of us with the problem which was a nice touch, i am very happy with my machine apart from these darn inserts,mainly the bottom ones. quote me if im wrong keith but the bottom white inserts on the original were nothing like the mmr inserts with the horrible little squares in them, as for my opinion the light from my room shining down makes them worse it seems to reflect all angles which makes the text look worse so im hoping these diffusers will do the trick but doubt they will do anything about the light shining down,then the answer may be play in the dark

well i would be suprised if any of the other uk machines were good as all from the same batch, and yes m8 i agree there is a problem with the inserts aswell as the text in my opinion, but earlier machines seem to be fine with those inserts so its a bit of a puzzle ??

That's exactly the issue, differences in batches so it's not an issue on all MMRs hence it is a batch defect.

bigboy can you post pic of your inserts to compare?

mine looks ok when not lit up, when lit up the lettering looks almost transparent,but its very hard to tell how bad it is unless another playfield is up against it. but by eye when lit im not happy.

I think the big problem is that on earlier runs of MMR this problem did not exist but on later runs it does. So what changed to give the inconsistency between these batches. If it were on every MMR out there I can understand the argument of it just being that way but it is not. Inconsistency between 2 runs of the same part/product=manufacturing defect

i have mmr 560 and the orange inserts left and right are very transparent also clear shield insertsabove flippers are almost transparent when lit?

Most likely they will send you an SD card looking thing with a tiny white one inserted into it. The tiny white one goes into a slot on the top of the beagle board.

Turn game off. Remove the backglass assembly. Stick the tiny white SD thing in. Turn game on. Watch the screen. It installs itself. The screen tells you when it's done. Turn game off. Remove the tiny white thing. Turn game on. You are good to go.

LTG : )

Nice 1 Lloyd think you mean a microSD card, lol

Rick
More irrefutable and insurmountable evidence to support my hypothesis that these games are not being play tested!  Please work with the powers that be at Stern to find a college kid that will gladly play test these games in return for free pizza...
Thx

Hardly. They are likely buying whole flipper assemblies and installing them in games. After some time the coil stop screws come loose. Same has happened for other manufacturers.

Cure is crank the allen head screw tighter or use split ring lock washers on them.

LTG : )

dont tell us lloyd tell stern surely its their job to crank screws tight and use lock washers?

Just saw on another forum that people are getting tracking numbers for direct purchases.  Does this mean that PPS first batch may be on it's way to?
