I called today and was told that a new order was in this week, and I was on the list to have my unit shipped next week.


Do I believe he was being honest?


Hell no.....


But, We'll see..... wink.gif

Yes, I do believe he was being honest.

I'm awaiting the same parts shipment.

when you do stock them noah do have to use the circuit board that comes with it if that's so than you can't use an ipac?

The board is an encoder for buttons, plunger, and includes the accelerometer.

There's no need for an IPAC.

Many people will be happy to hear this. Are you going to deal with the warranty issues if they arise, or will that be referred back to Nanotech?

I will deal with them in the respect that if there is a problem, it will be sent back to the manufacturer, BUT, I will stay on top of things to ensure a good buyer experience.

If that means sending out a new board while I wait for a replacement, that's what I'll do.

what about other buttons you would want to use on the mot-ion like open coin door, genre, flyers etc can you you use other buttons on it besides the ones they have in their diagram?

Change the hyperpin buttons to suite the Nanotech

If you need to know how there are as you put it "a bunch of assholes" on the hyperpin forums that can help

I was thinking about getting a PW, but don't like the slow time, and don't like the price. If a different company would offer one for half the price I would go with that, and at least 6 weeks to ship is a joke. It's not 1982 anymore.
