Yeah... It's a cool machine.
I did my best to clean it up but it was already very well looked after
We'll probably enjoy it at the studio for a few more weeks and then rotate it out.
It's very popular with the guys at work for sure

God damn, I just bought another two machines. I need to stop.
Sharp Shooter and a gun game called CrackShot, in need of repairs. I got the two in a package deal from the same guy I bought Dirty Harry. He delivers the two for $650, I couldn't turn it down. I have no idea about the problems with the gun game other than it has no power, maybe it is a lawn ornament?
Does anyone recognized the Crackshot, I can't seem to find any online info?

Change of plans, I let the Sharp Shooter go as quick as I had it, it was too old for my taste, but I kept he gun game for brain teaser.

About time this game showed up:
Still working on dialling it in and getting things tweaked. Only issues out of the box were that one of the flipper wires was loose (easy fix) and that the Smaug mouth wasn't moving, and none of the insert LEDs worked. Turns out there's a USB connector under the PF that came loose. Otherwise, this sucker is HEAVY. Worse than STTNG. I think it's staying where it is for a while.

Is the Hobbit working at SB in Toronto again?...
I have been there twice to play it and both times it wasn't working?! .....

Hopefully the Playdium delivery guys didn't set it up for you... had a service call to go and fix a number of little issues that those clowns should have dealt with during setup (ddin't remove foam packing behind PF backboard, SMAUG didn't work at all, button on lockdown bar didn't work etc). Best part was Playdium then told the owner it would be a couple weeks before they could send a tech over, AND he would have to pay them on top! I just about fell over when I heard that.
Amazing what 12K+ DOESN'T get you these days...

It sorta works but the left VUK doesn't appear to be strong enough to kick the ball up. It takes a good 10-20 tries before it finally does and sometimes the machine doesn't even know the ball is in there too.

No chance in hell on that-picked it up and set it up myself. There's a great big sign on the glass saying to take off the packing material too...
Looks like that USB connector is a common issue-I can see how that can come loose in shipping. Also, for some reason the flipper coils were amped down in the settings (below the defaults). I started the game at 6.8 or 6.9 degrees, and had a hard time backhanding the ramps, but now it's working much better. They're just makeable at the default strength, so I think I'll leave it as-is for now.
