We have pallets of various BBB parts, and will be posting here as we have on pinside. We dig out various BBB parts and list them, usually small quantities.

PPS Parts (and Art) Wish List / Re: Restoration packages
« on: October 06, 2014, 06:10:59 PM »
Problem is that there are multiple vendors often, as well as different demand for the different items (i.e. plastics move faster than playfields), so it's a little tricky especially when vendors are different. We do try to get things lined up whenever it is possible, but it's like herding cats sometimes.

MMR Updates (READ ONLY) / MMR Update - 10/6/14
« on: October 06, 2014, 03:05:27 PM »
MMR Update call today - Stern (Doug Duba, Gary Stern, Ray Tanzer, Dave Peterson, Michael O'Donnel, Rick)
- Still Waiting for UL - any of the issues identified thus far have been either addressed or suitable workarounds (which do not require at this point any parts changes, but more things like adding insulation on top of wire for High Voltage, etc. We are waiting for 'ok' on tranformer and transformer supplier has all parts in stock to build transformers quickly.
- Reviewed project per Chart to insure timing on parts in and available at stern, factory floor setup ok, packaging definition, pre-build, etc.
- We will have 3-4 MMR's at Chicago Expo setup to Play (likely at PPS booth)
- Rick will be at Gary's talk if any MMR topic comes up there (Friday late afternoon?)
- Product support being solidified - help ticket system being deployed, PPS forum support area, Support resources trained, etc.
- Game will not be 'on the line' at Expo - as disappointing as that is, it won't be too far off, but the UL is gating and is running longer than we had hoped. Sterns Line is prepped, many parts are on the floor, fixtures are built, etc. We should have one or more of the several pre-production games that Stern has built on the floor at Stern at the time of the tour - details tbd.

MMR Updates (READ ONLY) / Coin Mechs
« on: September 29, 2014, 09:02:30 PM »
MMR will come with everything to be coinop except the coin mechs themselves as a decision by Chicago Gaming. While this makes sense for non-US customers to not include, it's a problem for a small set of US customers. To that end, we've acquired some high quality METAL coin mechs and will be selling them for $7/each (vs the normal retail of $29) limit 2 ... so hopefully for anyone needing these you can order them and have it not be a major headache. We don't have a master list of MMR customer list otherwise we would offer this directly to all MMR customers - but logistically we don't have the ability. The game operates on freeplay just fine for the home without them but obviously some people will just want the mechs and do not have any around as they are pretty universal and just clip into the standard MMR coin door which is same as most any coin door.

MMR Updates (READ ONLY) / MMR Update - 9/29/14
« on: September 29, 2014, 01:12:50 PM »
Weekly MMR call (Rick, Doug Duba, Gary Stern, Dave Petersen, Ray Tanzer, Michael O'Donnell, etc)
UL Testing is most critical (and frustrating):
- UL wanting more documentation on transformer and will be slicing a couple of them apart (despite being made by the same transformer company that has been making pinball transformers for a long time ... )
- Door Interlock switch questions - they are asking for 100,000 cycle time switch (which is not what they ask for others making pinball machines), so we are iterating with them on that (100,000 door open and close!). We have the same switch on the game as is on other currently produced pinball machines that UL has tested.
- Transformer Co. has the materials and ready to build in volume, but UL is forcing people to wait until they are finished.
Games at Expo:
- There will be 3-4 MMR's at Expo
Stern Line Setup:
- Continues to be stocked with Parts, etc, waiting for Go on Production
- MMR can start on 2nd Line "anytime" based on finished UL, etc.
- Stern has completed several playfields as part of build test of parts, etc.
