Just to make it clear, I'm not demanding a rebate, I'm simply asking Noah to consider one based on what I wrote in my previous post.

If Noah decides not to give us a rebate, I'm fine with that, thats his choice. Hi didn't make the product, he was only the middle man.

 

Edit. I see now that Noah came up with a different solution, thats why he's the go to guy for cab-parts. It's clear that he's not solely in it for the money.

 

Thanks.

We'll be running it for some time. I'll give 'last call' before ending it.

Since you still have my Nanotech board which I sent for a reflash attempt, how about just sending me back one of your new board units? I assume my Nanotech plunger just plugs into the new black box board ? A sata input?

Let me know.

No can do on that. Apparently, their entire run had issues, and it's one of those. I'll send it in to Nanotech for replacement.

To be fair to them, that issue has been resolved since

No problem Paul. Thanks for finally responding, I know you've been busy.

Edit: Hey wait! I was your 10000th post in your response! That has to be worth a 75% discount and you don't have to deal with Nanotech! ;)

Noah, do these use stock plungers? I saw you could remove it, just curious if there are custom sizes or something. I have a custom (stock size) plunger I would like to put in it if possible.

You can use any modern WMS/Bally plunger. The sensor tube just slips over the plunger rod.

I'm expecting a small batch in by the end of this week, and they'll ship immediately in the order they were placed. I mentioned two weeks from date ordered, since I had no clue how the immediate response would be. More will ship the following week.

Sure. I'll post it as soon as I can. There's two ways to do it, actually.

Congrats on this. I have hand calibrated the nanotech junk more times than I can count. It never holds calibration between reboots... Such a waste of money. Makes me not even want to play my cab any more... Wish I could have tested this out at allentown, would have bought one if I knew how well it works...

There have been a few requests for a video, so keep an eye out for that.

 

All I can say is, it is WAY better than the Nanotech kit. We had a few issues in testing at Allentown which have now been resolved, and I am confident this is the last plunger kit anyone will ever have to buy. No calibration is a HUGE plus.

Looks good Noah, will maybe have to upgrade my cab. Does the kit replace the IPac I am using for input at the moment ? Cheers Buzz Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

It can replace the ipac, or live along side it. The Nanotech board had keyboard emulation, which are supported by VP and FP by default. So I assume this new board has the same since it's pretty much the same design.

 

The thing about auto-calibration doesn't sell me that much since in my experience, VP reacts so different in each table to analog nudge. Just isnt' consistent.

 

I'd be sold if I saw a zero slope table running with the new board. Click play in VP on the zero slope table and that ball should be standing still, if not...you need to calibrate it, how would that work on a self-calibrating board that recalibrates itself every time you start?
