Tatio 's . US Classic Track Ball Housing
James Beck
Greater Southern Distributing
Atlanta. Georgia
PROBLEM
Typical comments: My track ball housing
just broke and after taking it apart. I saw
why. The plastic that the assembly is made
of. looks real cheap and probably the re-
placement assembly will break as soon as
somebody applies pressure forcefully. I hope
Taito will release a modification to place a
standard ball track in it's place.
We just had the same thing occur to the US
Classic we had on floor display. Needless to
say a showroom piece gets very little play as
compared to a piece out in the field. and the
players tend to be a little easier on the
machines. I was really surprised at the lack
of quality. If that piece had been out in the
field it most definitely would have failed
within days!
SOLUTION
Well. the comments and questions about the
US Classic control ball housing falling apart
evidently reached the factory. And. sur-
prise. surprise. here·s the solution from
Taito:
