    As far as we know the reel noise is there to stay, noone thus far has been able to lube it away. These machines are well known for their reel noise, along with the Neo Magic Pulsar is the same way.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    And, unrelated to the topic, pic size is perfect at 640X480. You did good.

    hi pool cant help with the reel noise i have a neo planet and i got the same its kinda a neo thing
    as for the pics the best thing i found to do is put it into a editing program like photo shop or even paint for quikness and under one of the editing tools (difrent each program) alter image size to under 400x400 pixels but tick the keep aspect box and it dosent streach or scew it then
    My rice krispies told me to do it

    funny my wife is the same with neo plannet (well i did buy it for her) i thought i was going to get grief for this hobby but now she is nagging me for a pachinko after she saw one. so for your own pockets sake dont show her a pachinko.
    shrink the pics down to the size you want ie short and slightly wider then host them somewhere and finaly go to user cp and click edit signiture and put the pics link in your signiture

    The noise normaly isn't from the reel motor but vibration carried through the metal "cage" the 3 reel assembly is housed in.

    If you hook up the reel and hold it outside the machine and start it spinning you will see how quiet it is.

    (Ask Mark if you don't believe me.)

    hmm in wich case can we all cure our reel noise by getting our kids to hold the reel cage while we play
    or would some rubber pad of some sort between the cage mounts and the cabinet work
