There was a really nice one of these at the last York show. I snoozed, and I lost!

Quoted from pinwiztom:

How do you guys like that stealth (activated with rollover button) slingshot kicker on the mid left side?

What lights up the feature light for the right side rollover to then open both gates?
What does this rollover switch score or activate (on left side)?

How often do you get that (star) skill shot, set up by hitting the rebound at the top?
Only seen this game maybe but once at a show, but not in decent playable condition.

There's one of these on my "Mad World". When I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of custom mod. Not so. It's a factory item.

No problem Brad! They can be tough to repair sometimes but very rewarding when it all comes together.
Below is 7 minutes of gameplay video!
The 50 point outlane lights come on when all four A/B upper lanes have been hit during gameplay, another skill shot.

That game is coming together nicely. Good work! Sounds like the bells of St. Mary's.

Last picture for the day.

I like it. Thanks.

After shipping out a bunch of stuff today I amused myself by sandblasting the rusty door, primer and painting it and polishing the loader and shooter hardware.
Touch up of the backglass is still proceeding but I'm 90% there with my skill set. I have one area I'm going to clean off and hit again as I'm not happy with the color match but a notable improvement from where I started from if you compare it to the first bg picture posted..

Looks very similar to my "Mad World" before and after shots. My push up rod was bent and rusted. The shooter and coin door were in similar condition to yours. I used Dupli-Color automotive spray paint on my door and legs. Like a charcoal grey; almost black color. Very close to the later Bally legs in color.
