A committee meeting took place on Septem-
ber 10, 1989 in Las Vegas.
1. Three new standards were approved by
the committee and later approved by the
AMOA Board of Directors:
3. AAMA (Mfgs) officially formed a standardi-
zation committee to be part of the AM.QA
(operators) Standardization Committee.
4. The entire standardization committee
was divided into the following sub-commit-
tees as the last official act of the chairman:
•
•
•
•
Standardization Parts Committee
Standardization Cabinet Committee
Standardization Pinball Committee
Standardization Compliance Committee
5. Bob Fay of AAMA will make sure that each
manufacturer is malled the AMOA Stan-
dardization Checklist.
6. The Standardization Committee will pre-
pare a detailed letter to JAMMA which will be
hand delivered by AAMA's Bob Fay and Gil
Pollock. This letter will thank JAMMA for
their past contributions to standardization,
list the areas where further compliance is
necessary, and ask for continued communi-
cations between our two groups.
2. An AMOA industry approved logo was
adopted by the committee and the AMOA
Board of Directors. This logo will be copy-
right registered as soon as possible. The logo
will be used by those manufacturers whose
product meets all the applicable industry
standards. Once approved, a manufacturer
can use the logo in its advertising and/ or
have it stamped on its product.
7. The committee's goals are to have a dozen
additional standards ready to discuss at the
next meeting, increase standardization
compliance above the 50% current mark,
and put together a method of testing prod-
ucts submitted for the .. AMOA Approved
Standard" stamp.
8. The next meeting of the full AMOA Stan-
dardization Committee will take place
March 8, 1990 at the Hyatt Regency in
Chicago at 8:00 a.m.
