So several months ago I posted a "looking for...." request here on the forum. I needed to locate the light/contact caps for this game. I knew it was a long shot, but figured what the heck........I was missing 3 of them--2 in yellow and one in red. The "9", the "F" and the "C".
They have been missing for the 30+ years my family owned this game. Just did not look right with out the caps. Several years ago, I made some crude substitutes with a 35 mm film canisters, rattle can paint and stick-on vinyl lettering colored with a magic marker. They looked better than nothing, but still pretty crappy.

I was fortunate to locate 5 here. All yellow, and with the incorrect #'s and letters, but no big deal. I gently sanded and buffed and polished the old #'s of the top. I located better vinyl lettering that more closely matched the original and installed them.

Not perfect, but pretty good, especially for a game that gets played weekly......

When I look at my this old gal all light up on a Saturday night...I know Ralphie was right when they talked about
the allure of "the soft glow of electric sex...."
