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.

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 !
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!!
