MMR insert text is thin and transparent

TaylorVA:
Did he mention changes to their printing process going forward?

Keith:
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  ;)

Keith:
Yes, agree with your comments.  I have had to make room lighting adjustments that were not required with my original.  For example, any overhead lighting makes matters worse so I rely on background lighting and will probably switch all the ceiling lights to dimmable LED's.  I'm hopeful that the diffusers will address the majority of issues.  We appear to be on the same page, the game plays great and I'm happy to have had the opportunity to add it back to my collection.  In fact, in some ways it plays better; the Merlin kick out works flawlessly on my MMR and it was constantly bouncing out in the original.  It makes game play much more rewarding.  The only challenge now is that I would like to install several original MM modes and there's no easy power tap other than installing an independent 8v source.

In my game room the can lighting above the pinball machines were changed to colored LED bulbs each colored to the machine below the light.  My Monopoly has a green light above it, LOTR red, RFM green, GB LE will have green, and MMR will have a blue light above it.  It adds a little lighting, but it is mostly for accenting the game.  I like the room fairly dark with the LED accents above.  I also run LED accents under the cabinet from Cointaker.  Looks pretty good in my opinion.
