Quoted from PinWiz1969:I got one about 7 months ago. Everyone absolutely LOVES this game. It has become the favourite in the collection.
I do have a question though. You get an extra ball with four consecutive shots at the fishbowl ramp, but after you collect it, how do you get an extra ball again in the same game? I watched a PAPA video about the game before, and he gets multiple extra balls. I can't find any settings on it!
The center ramp wraps around a Fish Bowl and, when lit, awards 30K, 50K, 100K and Extra Ball. On Factory Default settings, the ramp is lit at the beginning of each ball until the EB is collected. You may only collect one EB from this ramp per ball. If it isn't already lit, you can light it by completing a drop-target bank.
Sea Food wheel awards extra ball (#7) i believe amount is based on difficulty setting.

I have the poster but I have no way to scan it 
I would also personally want to see that it was ok with James and Pinball Inc. before I would do that as well.
Maybe I will send him a message and see what he says.

Quoted from duke1234:Can someone help recommend a LED kit for this game or let me know what LED bulbs they brought and from where? I don't know what I need or what looks good. Thanks@!
I don't have the machine any more, but warm whites or natural whites will look best for LED GI. I went with CT warm whites. Comet has a great selection and options too. Inserts were color matched except any of the yellow or oranges went with warm white as well.
I looked at the manual but there is no reference on the lamp diagram regarding what type of Bulb it uses on the play field. Are they all the same? I notice that the flashers/coil diagram shows 906's being used. Can someone tell me what led type bulb I should buy to replace the playfield bulbs? Thanks.
Ideally you'll make a list of bulbs while go through your machine bulb one by one. So you have a mix of 555 and 44's for regular and likely 906's for flashers. Than take a tally. I follow this method and order a few extras of each. I believe the GI is all 44's with exception of the back box. Sorry, I wish I had a list to share or would. I wouldn't trust the manual even if it did have it as they're not often right.

Quoted from stef34:does someone could tell me what the guy exactly says when u go into the trash but when there is no point to collect.
thank u
Think it’s “what’s with all the racket”.
Quoted from blowback1976:Think it’s “what’s with all the racket”.
It's either this or just "What's all the racket?!"

Quoted from stef34:it means what is all that mess?

Hi all. Going through a Bad Cats I picked up a few months ago and finding small things that need to be addressed. One being that silly vary target design. I know how it works (plunger on the disc spins another disc through the opto) but mine isn't registering. With power on and ball in play I can visually see the opto flashing from a camera. I've tested continuity between connector and pads on the back of the board to ensure they are connected (all good). Reflowed solder to the pins (looked like they were cold). And I still don't get anything on that vary target. Weird thing was that when I tested voltage going in it was at 10V and I know it's supposed to be 5V. Any ideas?

Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:I just realized there is a club thread for this game. Sweet, I'M IN!
What a game! So much to do. I love it so far.
Of all my games, it will definitely be the last to go. If all comes to worse.
_20171113_000852.JPGDoes anyone here have a diagram with the correct rubber locations and sizes? I ordered titans but can't seem to get them to match up.
Thanks!
