    Can you post pictures of your displays? I may have some of the earlier ones that would fit that. I now have 4 good 6-digit displays on my Space Shuttle, so I will go the route of getting OEM replacements, and thus could get this from you. I also have one bad 7-digit display on my Farfalla - and as well, 1 bad display on my Bally Playboy.

    Remember Alien isn't their game it was ripped off from the Heighway doomsday. You now see their true capability in Queen and this Abba disaster. I was under the impression Queen was a Heighway game. Or at least they took over midway on that project. Heighway was going to do playboy after that and had some mock ups, so ABBA seems to be all PB from the ground up.

    Not only that, you will need to either desolder the GI fuses or unscrew the holders and harness from the rest of the wires. It's an EXTREME pain to remove a sys11 or DE head from a game. I have a Phantom of the Opera and a Playboy 35th that I have to remove the heads to get in and out of the house and I have never had to desolder anything. Just removed head bolts, remove half of the hinges, unplug connectors going to the lower cabinet and that’s it. Pain in the ass yes. But not too bad.

    It may be as simple as explaining and showing a pic of exactly what is being sold. These are likely non pinball people making these claims so further explanation and clarification may be needed. If you show an image, the claimant might think you are selling it or some likeness of it. Best to put a disclaimer on the page as to exactly what is and what is not being sold. I am not a lawyer, but I don’t believe it’s illegal to show an image, in this case a playboy pinball machine, with your product in it.

    Until Spooky's recent release, I would've said: when was the last time you saw a rated "R" pin? Saw is way too bloody for mass appeal. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if a homebrewer was working on the title. There's quite a wide spread of projects these days. Stern did playboy and sopranos, I suppose those could be considered "R" rated
