There was talk of a discount/incentive for MMRLE purchasers. Is that still in the cards and if so what would be the $/incentive?


Thanks,


BB

Bump.  I'd be interested to hear if this is true.

Why don't they just start with a base unit and you can add click to add the options you want to it?

Want a standard dmd + topper?  Ok, that will be $xxxx + $xxx.

I don't know.  Any place to stick some foam back there?
Mine stays in the hole 95% of the shots.

Does it fix the speaker crackle?

Do I really need to do this update?  What exactly does it do?

I can see the benefit of installing the diffuser regardless of the ink issue. It disperses light better in the inserts and has a more "original" look in comparison to the led hotspot that occurs without one. It doesn't necessarily change the tone of the insert or the ink but makes them more legible for sure and has more of a incandescent feel while maintaining enough brightness from the led. If you feel that your machine needs the diffuser as a warranty claim just call your distro. If not but you want one anyway or would like a replacement down the line at least they are being made available through PPS.  :)

Maybe they need to rethink this new LED system then?  I put LED's in my other games from the '90's and have no readability issues at all.

So....CGC sends out who knows how many playfields with bad ink, comes up with a half-assed fix....then expects people to pay for it!?!?!?!?!  WTF.

Setting a bad precedence for service.  I'm probably out of future games from them.

I rec'd my diffuser a few weeks ago, just been too lazy to install it.  :-\

I just nudge the s**t out of it until they come free.

What do you use to calculate pitch?  I downloaded an app to my phone, but it was very inaccurate.

It's obvious that they know a batch of these playfields have defects in the printing.   I'm not sure I care if this diffuser solution works.  The playfields that need them will always be branded as defects.  Completely unacceptable to me as a buyer of an $8k product.  Why do they refuse to do the right thing and just replace these playfields.
Why on earth would I purchase their next game if I don't know if mine will be inferior to the next one on the line and I know that the issue won't be handled properly?

I'll have to dig up the pics when I get home.  What I noticed on mine is that the ink is inconsistent across each word.  Sometimes the left portion of the ink is thin and gets better on the right and vice versa.  It doesn't look as bad in pics, but trying to read them at an angle while your playing, it is very noticeable.

I think they are asking for unlit pics because it's easier to say " it passes inspection" since the ink doesn't look bad until it's lit.

They reviewed my pics and concluded that mine would have passed their inspection.  It's quite obvious that their standards on a $8k machine are much lower than the clients.
We'll see how their handling of this effects people ordering game #2,3....

I was told yesterday that the fix will be to dim the LED's.  I asked what the backup plan was in case that doesn't work....nothing.  This is their only plan.  I was told that making playfields is complicated and that there will always be variances like this.  REALLY????  Apparently there were a couple people who did get new playfields.  Hmmm...
You would think with the few affected playfields, they would just make it right with the customers.  How much could it really cost them to fix the few properly.  I have a feeling it will cost them more in the long run.  This kind of service makes me not want to give them any more of my $$$. 

These are REMAKES.  If they aren't up to snuff and CS sucks, I'll buy myself an original from now on.

Will do.
