Today he came. Carefully measured the same times during the lunch break and all the holes drilled. Here then equal to the first small caveats:
- There are 6 mounting holes. 2 above, spacing 40cm, for suspending the whole box. These 4 around the disk, if you want more stability. Included are 2 screws and 2 dowels
- The screws are absolutely useless. Actually, they are intended for two main mounting holes, these have the general form of inverted keyhole, but the heads of these screws are already smaller than the narrow portion of the mounting holes. Well, if you checked something before time ... If I had used these screws, the machine would probably like the first Darteinschlag from the wall. But a couple of screws and dowels one has quite time in the house, if you plan to screw something on the wall, so built solid replacement from its own collection. It's always the same problem - in an otherwise perfectly good product, the overall impression is marred by such Centartikel.
- You have to measure everything myself. The manufacturer has in its CAD drawings completely all the data that you need to make shaped frame equal the correct dimensions of the mounting holes. No, you have to measure the distance between the holes, the distance bull's eye to mounting hole, everything. If anything is not a template here, but a few dimensions a nice touch would be at least in the operating instructions. I've now not all mind you, but most importantly, between the horizontal holes around the disk: 300mm. Horizontal main mounting holes: 405mm. Vertical I have on my list still unsorted feeding 2025mm, which would have the height of the drill holes for the main attachment be, for screws with 3mm shaft diameter, my disc depends precisely on 173cm with the Bull's Eye. But rather mete advance again after :)
Bevors ans drilling goes, even a short functional test, placed on a chair, turned on a few throws, fine works. Terrific sound :)
After thus slightly longer action with measuring and marking (one wants no lines in the wall drilling) was then but after 2 short, painless drilling finally announced the hanging. Short brush, furniture straighten again, power off, finished.
Still built in between the arrows together (it all comes in individual parts in a large bag). The shafts to screw in the barrels was a bit fiddly, but the probability that they dissolve too often is, there probably quite low, the whole sitting pretty tight. Tips were well screwed to equip Flights also good, overall the build quality makes a good impression.
The test had to serve a few laps 301. The operation was intuitive enough that at least this can be achieved without manual for more because you should probably still daily times, since the somewhat cryptic abbreviations are not very informative on the 7-segment displays, of course. The sound is pretty annoying, in fact, it is not only the very small speakers in plastic house, but also the language issue, the time is strongly reminiscent of samples on the C64. If there were a "Pro" version with better sound, I would lie down quite a bit more for it, but you can live with it.
The volume control is a bit weird. Apparently the machine remembers the last volume basically times when you turn off / on (not when unplugging!), At least he always comes up with Level 1 when I switch it on after I have switched it on Level 1. Press I then the button to change the volume, he shouts me spontaneously to 4. There is probably a bug in the firmware. Nor did he remembers the last volume, if you have it set to 0. If one dares this audacity, you will be friendly weggeballert the next time at level 7. The principle can indeed be the intention to avoid that someone believes the speaker would be over, but Level 1 it would have done here :)
This proved to me then so probably Level 1 and be inserted last. At least you can still switch the unit to standby without having to disconnect the AC adapter.
From the game itself forth the whole thing but really fun. The darts are provided in order, are well in hand, the flight behavior I would describe as ok, that I do not quite meet there, where I want, then there is probably more to the 20-year-old dart abstinence :) abnormalities here:
- The catch ring triggers nothing if there is ballert pure, the union is therefore not counted. But is not a problem, it must indeed deal with completely missed shots, so after 3 litters simply press Start / Hold and before unscrewing the arrows to tell the camera that you have your shots through. This of course is not necessary if it has detected 3 litters.
- The rest triggers clean, it feels though everything is a little cheaper than an ordinary state-machine, but this comparison would be with the price difference probably rather unfair. Overall, the feel is very fine for the money.
- The tips make a robust impression that few few rival defense or also throws, I'd have, she survived without any problems, aborted after a few laps even a single. The 100 pieces that are (rather something more, believe in me 115), should quite awhile rich, if one is reasonably accurate.
- The doors actually do not go to the Flights press against the window, so they always go back to a gap. Because I might let me come with self-adhesive magnetic strip something. The incorporation of magnets to hold the doors closed, would be for the manufacturer now certainly a rather low investment and would affect the quality impression but positive.
Conclusion: I am very satisfied, but subtract one point, because in some places really ridiculous sums of money were saved, their investment would result in a much higher quality feel. And if the machine would have cost 5 EUR more, this investment would have been loose back there.
