    Default Case Lighting

    Does anyone own a Thunderbirds Pachinko machine in which you could take a few videos of the case lighting so I could see how it reacts when you first turn it on, in simple play, and then in a reach. There is something about the lighting that doesn't seem right on my machine. For instance, when you first turn it on and it enters the attraction mode and you get alot of flashing when the thunder bolts appear, after that stops, there is lighting at the base of the playfield lighting (yellow area) and then this yellow area lighting on the left side that alternate flashing. What I am wondering is if there is suppose to be MORE lighting going on.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    What I mean is that during normal play, there is a light to the left of the play field in the frame(yellow) that flashes on and off and I am wondering if there should be MORE lights flashing with it. It is there all by itself , this small glow and it is distracting. It just doesn't seem right. Now I am also seeing the voices of the characters, during the bonus round sounding garbled.
    I am really surprised by the small things that seem to be wrong with this machine especially because of who I bought it from. Maybe the Fuji's aren't top quality? I am trying to get a machine from all of the manufacturers to judge them to see who's the best. So far, this machine, The Thunderbirds, seem to be the most trouble plagued.

    PS. Drcrippen, why do you purchase so many of the same machine? Just curious.

    Birdbrain, This machine doesn't have a balls out light. You get some Japanese writing across the screen when it needs balls. Maybe I should make a vid. to explain. Pics ARE better than words.
