Re: 25% tariffs on pinball machines & parts lifted

I thought Canada was doing reciprocal tariffs and the USA did not have tariffs on NAFTA-2 compliant goods. I did not confirm this though.

Re: EarthShaker Pinbal for Sale

Arkansas is 1386miles from Montreal, twice for return trip. No taxes? I'd like to see you get caught smuggling a pinball machine at the customs.

Re: FS: GTB Solar City

A buyer tried that on me once for a silly $20 thing. Sorry pal, the joke is on you who wasted 1h driving and $5 on gas. He paid the $20 and left with it.

Re: American Pinball End Of Summer Sale

Correct, but the way I interpret this is: they will still sell parts and slow down the pinball development considerably if not completely after Cuphead.

Re: American Pinball End Of Summer Sale

They let their trademarks expire, not a good sign. Cory Hardy thinks they will not close but they will likely rebrand and pivot to something else than pinball.

different favicon when unread messages are available

In Outlook, Discord, Teams and Slack, the favicon or taskbar icon changes when there is an unread message available.
It would be nice to have that feature in maaca. This way we would not have to click "Board Index" all the time to check if there is a new message.

Re: Is there a replacement for Gottlieb A16 boards ?

Thank you Sylvain, so as long as values are the same and that it is flameproof it is good. Understood. The resistance should be equal. The tolerance (+ or - 5%) can be equal or smaller, or it can be higher if you are able to measure that resistor and the actual resistance is within range. The power ...
