Opinions on the 620 board
First off let me say you guys have made my first few days here awesome, everyone has been very helpful & I thank you.
My excalibur vibrating board hasn't arrived yet, but I already feel as though I didn't make the wisest choice in boards. I noticed miggle has a special running on their 620 board, & was wondering what the general consensus is for the this board? I love the custom boards that i've seen & wondered if they're compatible with the 620's? I'm certainly gonna try the vibrating board when it arrives later this week, but may make a switch. |

If you are considering the NEW 620 from miggle then save your money. They are not very desireable. I will leave it at that. There are some good older 620 boards. When you get ready let me know we will find ya a good one.

I know several of us have purchased a new 620.. made numerous adjustments, added more of the adjusting rods, etc etc etc.. and then thought we had it "almost right".. and then we didn't.. I had the surface right where I wanted it.. laying flat.. and the motor just wouldn't do the job. I don't have any of the custom boards.. and am in the planning stages of a custom board.. Personally.. I like the sheet metal surface.. but it needs to be thick enough to handle the 24 x 48 (or larger) span. But I also want additional bells and whistles.. lol

620
49ninerfan09,
A 620, new or old, as well as anybody's custom board, it's a crap shoot! Smitty |

I have both an older 620 and a newer 620 gameboard. I would take the older 620 hands down. The only adjustment I needed to make was to put large binder clips around the board. I have only played on the custom boards at a tournament so I would not be the one to ask about the consistency. However, I was impressed with what I saw. Still for starters I would locate and purchase an older 620 gameboard. Hope that helps.

Don't do it!
I purchased the new 620 board and man was that a big mistake. I've heard the older 620's are a lot better. Better still, get yourself one of the big boards that several guys here make/sell. They can be a little costly but you'll be MUCH happier. On occasion you'll see someone on here selling their big boards. Check those out if you can.

I like the Rose bowl board from Miggle. I feel if you get it at the right speed its quiet, and quick.

I also upon getting back into the hobby bought a few of the old 620's and w/just a few binder clips it purrs. I then bought a new Miggle 620 off of ebay, wow what a disappointment. That board was horrible, when I asked the forum for tips on how to tweak this board into performing, I'd say Green Bay Glenn said it best (I believe he said this), he said to take it out to your driveway and run over it with your truck!! With that advice I ended up putting it back on ebay. I basically couldn't get my men to run on it, and it had plenty of dips in it as Shabby mentioned above. Now as far as customs go, Watts, Reg's 308 or Chris Field make sweet custom boards, and IMO the old or new 620's just don't compare. But these boards aren't cheap, but they last. Go old 620's if you don't have the cash, and custom if you do.
