Played my first complete game after troubleshooting a few switch issues that popped up during fine tuning...game plays great except for the occasional ball hang up on the upper right loop (seems to be a known problem with this title), I am confident that with a bit more tweaking I can get it corrected.
here is the final tally on dollars spent with the exception of getting the reel handle refinished, not sure what I will do with that but the rest has been bought and paid for...
