The serial number on the head - looking back at the playfield picture, you can see that the playfield serial and head serial (cabinet matches head serial) - do not match. In other words, they grabbed the wrong playfield when assembling this game. I've always heard tell of Golden Gate parts in Silver Sails, and that kind of careless assembly is shown, in part, by the non-matching serials.

Oddly, the score/instruction cards were tacked down from the factory! I would have never suspected this. Bally included two additional tacks in the paperwork envelope if you wanted to change the score card to show a dime instead of a nickel. Yhey didn't include 4 tacks for some reason. Anyone who has tried to pull one of these tacks will tell you that they break almost immediately.

A brand new spotting disc on a brand new mixer unit. I've never seen its like. Note the labels on the arms for the spotting disc. Those are almost 100% of the time missing or covered in grease.

how (blue section replay counter - I've always liked the design of this unit. It is intended to count multiple hundreds of replays and is relatively simple and compact.)
