Great game Geoff.   Was good meeting the people, although I gotta go back to that pinball 101 DVD.   I was consistently in last place.    Love the game, and I like not having to wait 15-minutes for my turn!

Huge thanks to Geoff for buying this game and putting it out. Best part is , it will still be in great playing shape in a month or a year with Geoff operating it.



And yes, we should try to do this a bit more regularly...

Iron man is a nice pin - although none of us had a great night score wise (except ME who did post her name).

Thanks Geoff. Nice game, I hope it makes you some money!

Things I noted:
1. Short ball times (but those outlines were pretty wide - setting 3 of 4)
2. That Right ramp can be a little hard to make sometimes.
3. No extra balls - I think Geoff knew we were coming and made it hard.
4. It is kind of fun seeing quarters (err loonies) lined up on the glass again.
5. I like the new type lockbar (that does not require drilling of the cabinet).
6. It may not be Spiderman but I think Stern has done a nice job with this one.
7. Glad Geoff took a chance on this one - it is nice to see the Ottawa Area get a new pin before Montreal for a change.  
8. We spent too much time gabbing and not enough time trying to figure out the rules.
9. O'Connels was sadly kind of dead for a Friday Night.
10. IM would be a great pin to pimp out with LEDs.
11. Geoff, you should have a sticky on MAACA with the locations of your pins. We could have more last-minute beer&pin meetings. (2 pins at a location would be nice, sadly I know this may not make much economic sense).
12. I like the Backglass.

Geoff, here are a few technical issues that we noted last night:

1. Four times the ball got stuck just above the top left bumper and was only cleared by the ball search.
2. The clear plastic on top of the iron-monger (in the playfiedl) is a little low and could use a little shimming to level it with the playfield. this caused quite a few STDMs. This will certainly lead to some playfield wear.

Get out there and enjoy that pin everyone. Cheers.
.

Thanks for the feedback!
The game was factory settings with production V1.0
Here is what I can say about your notes,
1. the outlanes came that way.
2. The right ramp seem like a poor design, it slows the ball down a lot.
3. Extra balls are hard to get but I have updated it twice since Tuesday and I can't play that many games to see how the setting are. Updating the code erases everything and the new code installs fresh. Maybe when the code is finished I could tweek it more.
4. That would be cool to see.
5. The lockdown bar is actually an old type and they fir the Stern games well.
6. Agreed.
7. I am taking a chance on this but I love pinball and I want to see more good ones come out in the future.
8. That reminds me of going to Allentown.
9. Hopefully it gets better there.
10. I may consider that.
11. That would be cool. Maybe I should talk to Sparky. I used to have two games there and I have two in other places.
12. Back glass is cool and the cabinet is cool as well.

I think I have solved the ball hang up problem.
I will do a final adjust on the Monger next week after it gets broken in.

Enjoy!  The new code is V1.01, I installed it today.

Geoff

Ah man.....now I have to go back and put up a high score again! The penalty of an operator who actually updates machines!   And THANK YOU for the ball save increase. It seemed like milliseconds altho I'm sure it was longer !

I'll be back!

Williams fan was there putting up 52 million when I got there, the highest score I have seen so far. Unfortunately the update erases all the memory everytime.

I feel like I am married to this machine, every time I turn around there is another update. I will be installing v1.4 tomorrow. I will increase the ball saver again when I am done. I am impressed with Sterns customer service. I called them on the 23rd to tell them the plumb bob was missing and it arrived today.

Wow....I'm doubly impressed then that a certain member was able to tilt the machine still....... and it wasn't me!!
