Concerning the "XPIN" mod with the Plasma Disk, the mod is basically this...
As each of the goals (9, 18, 27, etc) are reached the plasma disk comes on for a longer amount of time until it stays on when you hit special. It will "sputter" between each goal, think in terms of starting an old engine with goal to get it running.
The other operational mod is that if you light all of the pyramids or all of the eyes, then the plasma disk will stay on for the rest of the game.
During attract mode, it will periodically "sputter".
If you are interested in the mod, go ahead and get the backglass you want, and I will send you a link to where you can get the plasma disk. You can always install the mod control board later once I get the firmware complete.
