Is that how long yours lasted doodude?

It seems I got mine in its 29th & 9/10 year.
In trying to be fair, I dont know that there was that much wrong with my Penguin. It just had a payout problem & the AllWin would freeze up the shooter mechanism. It may have just been an adjustment or a bad part.
The problem was I could never get any help with it from TA & where it might have been a easy fix, without knowing what to do it might as well have been a big problem as a little one.
I tried some of the things suggested by Pachitalk members with no results. So I didnt really have any options but to send it back & by that time I was fairly fed up with TA.

It does look fun. I hope one of your new Apollos works out better.

Noooooooooo Penguin

Man that machine looks amazing, so much to do on it.

I can see why you wanted it, Doo. It looks like it could have been a fun machine.

(Note the past tense.)

the Penguin must raise from AZ

I've had the frozen shooter / waiting for payout on my apollo, but I was able to fix it. I'm not even sure exactly how, but I think I did something with that plastic piece in the back by the ball counter for payouts. It only happened once or maybe twice, but once it was on the carpet, and not on level ground.

Miss my pun ?

that's a tricky one to figure out, arby.

Anyways, I'm checking with TA to see if they have anymore Penguins (like the auction implies), or if this indeed is Doo's "lost" penguin. I'll let you know.

Great news! TA has 11 more Penguins! This is truly a new shipment, and this should satisfy the demands of all the Penguin fans.
