Great art and I like that low positioned pop bumper. Cool game, congrats.

Dang dude, you don't mess around. I've never cleaned a mech panel that way or disassembled that type of score motor before and I've been doing this awhile. You should work for Pinrescue.

Yeah, my Serenade lights the one when you reach a thousand. It's sort of a neat feature as getting to that score threshold isn't an easy task. It's like they designed it with the idea that hey your rarely going to get a score this good. So we're not spending the money on a score reel assembly but we'll give you a special illuminated number if you can pull it off. The lighted "one" is sort of warm and nostalgic throwback to the old lighted scoring plus the triumph of getting there is just a nice feeling.

Haven't you been thinking on that one for awhile. I always thought it looked like a neat game. Last Gottlieb Em with a gobble hole.

Ooh, Ron Webb still has Sweethearts glass available. http://pinballglass.homestead.com

Looks fun to me. I like the frustratingly fun looking flipper layout, ball eject from the trough and the football scoring. A friend of mine has one in storage that I should pursue. I asked him about it one day and I know he'd probably sell it to me.

Ha, I was studying the pictures thinking there was an old Michael Jackson sticker on there or something. Then I saw it...

I really enjoy Big Hit, Sinbad and my Kickoff. It's sort of a compilation of the 3. I bet I'd like it.

Oh yeah, me too. Eye of the Tiger preferably.

I'd run it.

I think a lot of guys like to replace components like these to achieve the crispness of a new machine. I can certainly understand that but I don't like to spend extra on a likely marginal if even noticeable performance increase. I think most of us would like to go all Pinball Rescue on our machines and replace every sleeve, coil stop and plunger. Pop bumpers are a bit of a pain. I understand the beauty of doing it once and never having to worry about it again. I guess it depends on how budget minded you are on this project. With a limited budget you learn a lot of that isn't always needed to still have a fast and fun playing machine. If you have the luxury of not having to worry about it go for it. I'd like to be the latter but am the former.

Those are your match numbers. Only one should light at the end of game. It's a random sequence. If the lit number matches the last digit of your score you win a free game. Or should if everything is set up that way.
