Quoted from MXV:The game was DESIGNED to use full sized blood red flippers (it even states it in the manual). Before it went into full production marketing/sales forced upon them the lightning flippers because the biggest Euro distributor at the time used to put them on every game they had and claimed they will shorten ball times and increase earnings. They shortened ball times alright however those magical spikes in earnings never came on games like BSD and DW. All it did was make them play shitty. BSD, DW and FT were never designed around those little flippers, they were all designed with full sized ones and switched during production.
Agreed... So sell me your spare original Williams lightning flippers!
