Flash
Williams, 1979BMOTD = Bonehead Move of the Day.
Just finished shopping/mild restoring Flash. Turned it on, played a game and something wasn't right.
Let's see if you can spot my error from the YouTube video. First person to get it correct will win a Cyclone clown plastic (the one wearing a fig leaf and suspenders under his coat.)

Post edited by viperrwk : Replaced video - burnt out lamp was not the BMOTD
Quoted from smokey_789:you forgot # 6 bulb to the right of the left 2X
Good catch - should have caught that myself, but no, that's not it.

Quoted from Monster_Bash:You need a better video camera cuz I can't see a damn thing?
Swapped out the video after replacing a bad lamp. (I could also use a new camera!)

Quoted from DCFAN:right slingshot bulb?
It's dim but working - that's what happens when you put old lamps in the dishwasher - not all of them come out well until they run a bit...

Quoted from LTG:Probably work better with 5 drop targets on the left instead of 4.
You forget one ?
LTG : )
Good eye Lloyd. If my camera was better you'd see the fifth one down. It's there. That's not it.

I swore I read Fish Tales instead of Flash, then watched the video and was like "Um, you put in the wrong playfield and translite." 
Quoted from LTG:You put the wrong pop bumper caps on.
LTG : )
I wanted the red caps - there are also blue wafers under the jets. That was by design.
Quoted from RWH:Forgot to put one of the rubbers back on?
All rubbers on and correct (even though the kit from Marco was wrong.)
Quoted from Frax:Why is the Ball In Play light lit solid when it's in attract mode?
Does that when you first turn it on since a match number hasn't been generated yet.
Quoted from blondetall:I swore I read Fish Tales instead of Flash, then watched the video and was like "Um, you put in the wrong playfield and translite."
I wish I was that good!

The bonus inserts are numbered correctly.

BTW, it seems that Sys4 Flash machines had blue posts and Sys6 machines had red posts. Mine is a Sys4.

Quoted from marlboroa:the left outlane switch is missing
Thought that too, but doesn't fit hint #2.
Still not sure on hint #2. A video is a bunch of frames or photographs in succession. Not sure how it can't be seen in a photograph.
Quoted from marlboroa:they pause on 2,4,6,8, and 10. should be 1,3,5,7,9 you have lots of lights to move
We have a winna!
I did not index the bonus lights and I installed them one off. When I start a game, the first bonus light lit is #2. D'oh!
I will admit - this was a tough one to spot - took me about five games before I noticed.
marlboroa - PM me your address and the clown will be in the mail.
Thanks for playing everyone!

Here's what attract mode should look like on Flash. I moved the bonus insert lights one over. Also turns out that when I had them in the wrong place the solder connection on the "6" bonus light (really #5) was cracked and that's why it was out in the first video I posted. Moving the lights stressed the connection enough for me to find it.
Also notice that the bonus stops counting when you get to 29. I'm guessing the software doesn't allow for the 10 and 20 bonus lights to both be on simultaneously - at least with the yellow flipper ROMs.
Anyway, congrats again to marlboroa for spotting the mistake.
