Quoted from Electrocute:

I'd love a Showboat! I would modify so that right flipper button controls 1st and 3rd flipper and left controls 2nd and 4th. Can't see playing it any other way.

I agree for performance. Unfortunately, this would be a rather big mod as each pair of flippers are linked together mechanically, using 1 flipper coil.

I would add 2 more flipper coils for a total of 4, (hoping there's room). It would take several added parts, (coil housings, shaft linkage, EOS switches and housings, etc), but the game really does need the strength of separate flipper coils. There's just no power to send the ball up top, and it's a nice open playfield which needs the strength. I think the game turned out to be a dog in its day due to the original config.

Mike..............I think you should try and keep your game intact. It's a nice example, and there have been 2 runs of the glass. There should be a good one laying around somewhere.
