Big Bear super special question

[DiskDevil]

I was looking at their special but one thing bothered me.........

(quote)
Each machine has extra volume controllers installed at the token tray so that you can adjust loudness without opening the door. Exception -- Rocky, Dream Seven Max, Neo Planet, Neo Magic Pulsar and Gundam have no extra volume controllers.

I would personally want mine to be stock or I would mod them later. Can someone post a closeup pic of the big bear mod? Can you order them without the volume control? I guess I am funny about electronics. I know what I can do but are not sure of others work (not to offend anyone) and I don't want any holes drilled in the unit.

Any pics, advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

DD

I agree with you i think that having the volume control mounted in the front token trays isnt too cosmetically appealing to me.

i've seen a picture of a volume control in the tray, but not sure where i saw it

I followed the link but I don't see anything about volume controllers..?

[RKnarr01]

i forgot you have to click on buyers guide on the left side of the page then click volume controllers.

[DiskDevil]

OK...Got it! I don't like it! I am going to email them and see if you can get them without volume controllers.

[RKnarr01]

I like the volume controls that syscom sells for 5 for 15 theyre small and you cant see them.

[RKnarr01]

hey you might just want to PM Gaku, he's online currently he's the owner of the site i believe

[DiskDevil]

OK....I sent an email and PM

I am interested in your super deal but I DO NOT want the volume controls installed. Is it possible to order them without the volume controls? Can you provide them extra and I will personally made the modification?

Thanks...

My Hanabi Hyakkei came from Big Bear with the volume control in the tray. Before I received the machine, I thought it was the worst place for it. But after wards, I saw the beauty of the logic behind it. The volume control on mine is high enough in the tray you can not see it. It is the easiest possible place to reach and adjust. (Which is helpful when you enter the bonus round.) I am now going to change all of my other machines to the same place.

I just installed volume controls from syscom tonight. Love em!

[Ritchie Rich]

yeah, i think you can make a request without installing volume control and ask a separate volume control in shipping so, later on you can install it by yourself. but mostly of the volume control they installed in the machines are located in a hidden spot, which is really unnoticable.

I dunno, they dont look terrible there. Theyre convenient.
Would certainly be best if they are hidden under the lip of the machine...

[DiskDevil]

OK...I got the email back and here is the response from gaku.......

Ditto. 2 of mine are from Big Bear. I didn't think I was going to like the volume controls in the tray. But the way they do it, the average person won't even notice they are there. If it wasn't for the extra work involved (and the risk of damaging something while drilling the hole), I'd do all mine that way.

In otherwords, it's a nice feature if someone else does the work.
