Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. By Spooky

welcome to the doom and gloom! thought I was coming back after a weekend to pages of hype and excitement to read!

Anyway let's get back to beetlejuice!

Seriously Spooky are going above and beyond again they seem to be a company looking to appease their customers.

I know they have had their issues but they are clearly past that now and and pumping out some of the best looking games in the business
 
but please — for the love of God — get rid of the whole “slide the glass out” nonsense. Make it lift out properly and cleanly. … then I can fit more machines in my room. 😄
The turner system is a bit of a revelation here SUPER easy to remove and reseat (stuck ball is literally, latch, pivot, remove, click down , done).... if they made the corners a little more comfortable it would be perfect (not uncomfortable but nbot as rounded as a traditional Stern lock bar)....
 
Now, this last bit is purely a selfish rant on my part… but please — for the love of God — get rid of the whole “slide the glass out” nonsense. Make it lift out properly and cleanly. … then I can fit more machines in my room. 😄

I do get excited with new tech, so tbh I am there audience :-)
Bally tried this in the mid to late 60s. Lasted a few years then went back to standard glass slide out…

Says it all , don’t need to mess with basics ..

I don't think Bally would have had the home user in mind at that time. Lift out glass would make mine and many other user's lives easier, especially those with limited space.

When I was over with pins, I had a few opposite others with not enough gap to take the glass out. I just used my scissor lift to jack the front up high enough to slide the glass out above the one opposite, was really easy to do. You will never have too many pins🫣

Just done exactly that with my STTNG mate

Yep i hear you for sure. 👍 Just those lift mechanisms can be more bother than they are worth, every time i've had one i've always ended up thinking the traditional way is actually easier with a slide to the side or hoist up etc. And when you want to put a new piece of glass in its a right pita!!! Maybe spooky will add a 'hinge-o-matic' next...
