Yes! Comet got me hooked back in the day. I remember playing one at the local laundromat back in the day. I remember hearing "million...million...million" (the voice of Steve Kordek) and then making the million shot and the machine going crazy, wow that made my day! I remember the dunk the dummy voice taunting me, now we know it is Steve Ritchie. I remember staring at the backglass and wondering back then who would come up with that crazy back glass artwork, and now we know...Python. Thanks to Barry Oursler for a great design. I must have dumped enough quarters back then to buy the game. I sure hope the pinball magazine profiles Barry soon. After that, I got hooked on Cyclone. Today, I have a Comet in my home and it's not leaving. It is a little easy on the default settings, so I adjust all the settings to hard to make it more challenging in the home environment (cycle ramp and center ramp is not lit by default, you have to light them first, makes the million shot a rare occurrence). Still love playing it after almost 30 years.

PSA: I know a few months ago, someone was looking for a Comet backglass. If you are still looking, there is one available here:

I don't think anyone sells new System 9 legs (no ribs). I have bought the new ones with ribs before.
