If so, don't plan on picking them up when you pickup your BBB.

Talked with Georgianna today and she informed me that any extra parts ordered won't be ready by June 2nd.

I guess I don't know why they wouldn't, but I guess that's the way it goes. I ordered every extra part available, including an extra playfield.

It's gonna suck to have to pay for shipping on my extra parts............. Mad

Would you rather they delay delivery of the machines until all the spares are ready? :p

Deduct it from the $1500 or so that Gene has paid out of pocket for your machine and perhaps your perspective will change.

Will you EVER stop whining?

WOW! Some real nice folks here on the BBB forum! Can't wait to meet you all on the 2nd!

I didn't realize that passing along information was "whining"..... <edited by Administrator>

See you on the 2nd! Twisted Evil

There's a BIG difference between "passing along information" regarding parts availability at pickup - which I'm sure folks DO appreciate - and whining that *you'll* have to pay shipping because the parts *you* ordered won't be ready at pickup time.

It seems that no matter what Gene and crew do you find a reason to complain.

Grow up.

And Mike, the last sentence of your original post *could* have been left off.

Here's what little I know:

1 - I ordered some extra stuff.

2 - I will be picking up and paid the sales tax when I sent in final payment.

3 - I got a check back for the sales tax on the extra parts several weeks ago (mid March?!?!) with a note saying that the extra stuff would not be available at pickup.

If I had to guess, they ran out of some parts. If I had to really guess, it was either playfields or green tube dancers.

They were concerned about having everything they needed to complete the project.

In my interview, there were 2 playfields, 2 sound boards and 1 uber valuable CPU destroyed during the build.

Anyone's guess.
