But I don't understand the reasoning behind this thread. Compliance engineers, conditioned by countless exposures to hyper-optimistic design claims, usually develop of wicked streak of cynicism. Why would any of us ever expect to upset a slot ---- in our favor? And, to morph further, did the Japanese ever have a problem with customers rigging those old mechanical Pachinko machines with a hand-held magnet? Those were steel balls, and the glass was only 1/8" thick! Or would that have been an unthinkable breach of arcade etiquette? -------------------------- Ed Price ed.pr...@cubic.com Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.
