Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep32 - Gerry Stellenberg and the Multimorphic / P3 Platform
Q: What is Portal's status and where will it be shown next?
Portal remains a major platform showcase; the company plans to be at Chicago Expo and Houston Arcade Expo, with shows as opportunities to demonstrate progress and new models, and they encourage players to visit showrooms or connect with owners to try P3 titles.
Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep32 - Gerry Stellenberg and the Multimorphic / P3 Platform
Q: How does the company handle backwards compatibility when hardware evolves?
Multimorphic has designed backwards compatibility into its upgrades; older P3s can be upgraded with new back boxes, better brackets, and revised assembly components to preserve the ability to play existing games while enabling new features; updates are offered as paid add-ons or upgrades.
Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep32 - Gerry Stellenberg and the Multimorphic / P3 Platform
Q: What is the process to add a new module to an existing Multimorphic cabinet?
You can purchase directly from Multimorphic or through distributors. A playfield module ships in a compact box, the cabinet stays boxed for shipment, and you install the new module yourself or have a showroom or distributor assist; the company also supports upgrades and replacements.
Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep32 - Gerry Stellenberg and the Multimorphic / P3 Platform
Q: So Portal standard is $11,600. How does the pricing work for other games and modules?
Portal Standard is about $11,600, with other games varying slightly above or below that depending on the specific module and cabinet. Customers can buy either the cabinet with a module or just the playfield module itself, and modules are designed to be upgrade-ready and ship via standard freight, with playfield modules shipped in compact boxes and added to existing machines.
Dirty Pool Podcast Ep07 – Davey of Stumblor Mods / The Art of The Pinball Modding
Q: When did the creature project start and what sparked the transition to a business?
Davey describes refurbishing a Creature from the Black Lagoon, realizing the potential to turn hobby projects into a business, and then gradually developing the first LED/circuit boards before expanding to a full product line.
