    Default How springy is your Knob ?

    Hello after a long game play on Popeye I noticed that my knob felt very new and springy , I guess because these machines did not see a lot of use or abuse before making it over here, I can tell you the machines that have held their springyness. Popeye, Penguin Paradise, Tarot Master, Beast Sapp other than that they all feel spongy, kind of like old worn out Nintendo controllers, just wondering how springy everyone elses knobs are

    It's the knob on the front that you push up and down untill it spins.

    I think my knobs are likely more springy now than when brand new! When they were new, they hadn't been properly broken in. Now, after a lot of use they work even better than when they first were played with. It takes some use to get it to be really springy.

    I would say that most certainly is the case. Just talk to anyone who just starts out with a new knob. Once it gets broken in and used, the score goes a lot higher, there is more satisfaction and there are more fever rounds. I thought everyone knew that?

    so let me get this straight you start out knowing nothing with a stiff knob ,then as its used it becomes softer with age ? although it becomes better because of the knowledge and experience of use ? until you reach the climax of becoming the knobs master ? sounds like a self gratifying experience to me...brb i think i need a cigarette .
