IG-88:
Ah, I see.... appropriate name. I don't recall seeing one "back in the day" is this what they came out with from factory or is it a replacement?
Level42:
Yes it was factory. It was pretty advanced for it's time since it's an optical working stick.There were problems in the field with it though so Stern sent out replacement Wico (leaf) sticks. The "bad" stick hurt sales acc. to one of the guys who worked on the game.
The general story is that grud was falling on the optics. However, due to the construction this is impossible, the opto's are pointing downwards so nothing can lie on it. I just think they had similar problems like I described (bad diagonals) earlier.
Ever since I brought the PCB a bit closer to the reflective disc it works brilliant though...
ChadTower:
I heard the crud was falling on the disc, not the optos. Problem is that most people don't know the difference.
