MMR Update: 2/3/15 - some pics from the floor at Stern

[PPS]

So was a long couple of days, basically walking thru most stations and reviewing everything I could and looking thru the game, etc. Stern is doing what they do to tune the production line, and there are about 20 playfield assy's mostly complete, 1 game complete, and 10 are being put together now and being checked. Goal is to do a hard core check on the process, the stations, the line, etc and the result for the first 10 games, and then the rest of the first batch of games is released. There are hundreds of checks and double checks going on and it's really eye-opening as to what is involved. Every day now is production and assemblies are being produced, playfields are being produced and tested, and cabinets as well. Mating for the first mini-batch tomorrow/thurs and then thorough checks for any ball traps, and other issues, etc.


Monday was a bit of a bust for production as the Chicago Blizzard put the factory in hibernation as basically most people were not into work there as the snow and the cold were pretty extreme. Tuesday things were back up and running.


I will get more pictures tomorrow.

NOTE: you can browse and send people links but PLEASE do not copy the pictures.
