Wisconsin is the place for Skill Rolls, apparently. Got mine from an old Op in Tomahawk area, saw one on location in a bar in Sturgeon Bay (before I got mine). Called the Sturgeon Bay operator and he wanted crazy money - several thousand.

Quoted from o-din:Going thru my Skill-Roll the other day, I noticed it came with a selection of score cards for extra skill points. Looking at pics of others, I'm not sure where they are supposed to be placed in the game, and the instructions that came with it are not too specific.
Do most people use or not use this feature and where are they supposed to be mounted?
On mine it was thumb tacked to the upper horizontal piece of the wood frame. Didn't look 'factory'...

Quoted from edward472:The problem isn't the lockout plunger. I got to the bottom yesterday and it held my nickel. My issue is the black foam on the lightboard is rotted and missing on that side. The light from the bulbs behind the Skill Roll logo is bleeding down making the star look lit. I'm planning on removing the whole playfield, flipper shafts, etc this week when my new inner plexi is delivered and applying new foam and trying to get those stupid f**king light sockets to light consistently.
I am halfway thru unsoldering the old sockets and replacing them with new. Pinball life. Super tedious!

Quoted from northvibe:are you using an upholstery stapler to attach?
That would be best, but no got. I'll kludge something up when I get to reassembly.
