    That is some beautiful work! I love screen games. One question: I thought Bounty was the only game with a white button. What does the white button on can can do?

    Oh, excellent. In later machines, it was a random award.

    Wait wait wait - just thought of something else... If the screen isn't lit to 'D', are you able to play the white button? Will it light the screen automatically if it gives you a super section?

    Steve, I talked with my bingo buddy (two in one city!), and he told me that Lido, Can-Can, and Bounty were the only three white button game the white button on Bounty (which I have fixed up), plays a skill shot - on the first ball you have to hit the indicated number to earn a separate skill shot odds.

    I figured it would just play as red until the 'D' was lit, and my buddy confirmed, but I am curious how it differs from red once 'D' is lit - is there a separate cam or relay that actuates to provide another path through the mixer just to those features? The only machines with super sections I've stuck my face in contain a relay in the trip bank for each, and is activated through feature play (red or green). Just cool to find a new feature!

    Again, my compliments on your restore. Beautiful, beautiful work. Love to see bingos get this attention. There is so much drama on each ball - a different thrill than pin games.

    Vic, I've played quite a bit of S's bikini and golden gate in town, that you have famously played Those are both great games. Your Silver Sails is beautiful, as with all your games.

    Steve, the red letter game should be spelled out on a separate score card (you can see it peeking out on Vic's pic under the ball return). Super and extra OK give you extra positions on the screen to move the orange section. Super OK let's you move the screen 3 positions.

    It's quite fun to have OK lit, and an extended time tree. Getting a hit in multiple colors and collecting a red letter game on your fifth ball is an experience!

    I need to re-read Jeffrey's books. I didn't realize that you could light both super sections at once!
