We need a screen picture Bob. Pull out the old Polaroid camera, snap a picture and then run to the drugstore and copy it on a xerox copier. Send us a copy to PO Box 6912034, Oldenville NY and we'll send it to the lab to have enlarged and photo copied and have an answer for the small flippers in two to three months.

How about I just send you a pic of Hacker's ass?

I always thought Triple Strike was a flipperless table until read this thread. I just took a magnifying glass to my 42" Pincab screen and sure enough there are flippers there! thanks everyone!

[blur]

yeah they are there, but they are tiny, we should call them micro flippers and triple strike should be changed to micro strike
there is nothing triple in size of these flippers

Here is how you fix it. You stop voting for wage increases and the inlane rails will slim down allowing for the inflation of the rollover to be reduced and the fat flippers (big business) can get fatter and bigger again. The ball of life can stop bouncing up and down and continue to flow. Now this makes sense! Yeah Rawd, what the hell were you thinking? Mod the damn table so we can all get back to normal for crying out loud!

I hate when someone makes a table and it screws with my life. This whole economic mess is your fault Rawd!>>>>>>>>>>>>

very good..
do as the rich and powerful tell you and maybe you can keep your job.
maybe go to a prepy school, get a college degree and get into some Fortune 500 company, and you can dictate how it will be.
thats how it works.
its what school you went to and who you know.
its always been like that.

or better yet, go with time machine to before 2008 crisis and then decrease wages

then we will avoid crisis altogether and we will all be rich and have jobs - and big flippers of course

Or sod it - lets just go rob a bank

I have a suggestion:

From now on, ALL tables & updates, should come with a set of switchable flippers of various sizes:
Stretched :small, medium,large & extra large.
Standards: small, medium,large & extra large.

Beside this flippers should have adjustable colors to fit the tastes of each individual players.

Flippers should function faultlessly in each direction & format , vertical, horizontal, transversal & also diagonal (for home made mods), rotated or not.

If I understood well the whole story, this will have as a side effect the re-balancing of global economy, & I will eventually be able to purchase a VirtuaPin !

negative.
we need to roll back to about 1972 before the wage increases.
there were to big wage increases in the 70's.
i cruised youtube a little.
a basic transportation car was maybe $2000 new.
that was a lot of money when MW was maybe $1.25/$60p/week.
i dunno if some of you are old enough.
inflation started to rise in the 70's.
from the the early 1900's to about 1972 wages went from 10cents/$4dollars p/week to about $1.25/$40-60p/week.
there was some inflation.
2 wage increases in the 70's, 2 more in the 80's and 2 more in the 90s.
you are making more dollars but everything got more inflated.
rising wages, rising costs of materials, rising costs of doing business, bad financial decisions and the greed.
some of you may be too young to have seen the changes through the decades and what has happened.

did you see the video i posted on the last page about a 78 vette found in a barn in 2011 in perfect original condition.
the original $14.6k window sticker new in 78.
that was a lot of money in 78.
MW was $2.90 in the late 70s.
here were are 35 yrs later and a new vette cannot be had for no less than maybe $60k.
i remember big business waaaay back as far as the early 80s told you to do not vote for the wage increases.....dont vote for that.
you are making more dollars but everything got more inflated through the decades.
with higher prices comes higher taxes and higher tax brackett on your paycheck.
all the increases did was create hyper-inflation.

Okay...you boys should really stop licking your pinballs, it's not safe at all!

Oh and sucking flippers is not an alternative.

You know...if you'd just make this a flipperless table, there would be no problem Flippers are the root of all evil.

are you implying we are dogs?
woof!....

i did a quick search on inflation to see what would come up.
here is what inflation and the bad greedy financial decisions has done through the decades.
included are housing and car prices.
average price of a new car was $2600.
not much now but that was alot of money then.
you were making less but everything costs less.

Seems the 1% of people here have problems with small flippers, and the 99% do not. The flippers would probably look bigger to the 1%, if the dollar signs weren't blocking their vision.

Maybe the 1% should stick to some other type lavish ball game like Polo and hit the tiny ball with a big old freakin mallet while riding a large horse.

Better still, maybe they could get off their high horse and realize that their greed is the reason for small flippers.

But I'm glad were talking about pinball instead of politics, because politics is forbidden here.
