Count me in with my first DE pin:

Fell in love with this at Louisville Expo, and one turned up a couple weeks later for less. A few things to tweak, fix, and change (not a fan of the blue pf LEDs at all) but it should hang around for a while.

Can anyone tell me if a black lockdown bar is proper for this title? Seems like a lot of early DE games had them, and I see Torpedo Alley pics with either black or chrome.... but black just doesn't look right to me on this title.

If anyone is interested in trading a chrome/stainless for my black one, let me know. Otherwise I might try painting it blue or red or something.

Can anyone share a pic of what the sticker on the backbox, from early DE games would have looked like? The one on my Torpedo Alley is quite faded.

Sure does. Thanks! I could barely make out the DE logo on mine. Figures it uses that linear-maroon-on-gray 80's trope palette.

Responded, and thank you!

Can anyone tell me where this mystery wire is supposed to go? It looks like a ground wire... however, I can't figure out what it would have connected. There doesn't seem to be anything "missing" a wire and all the other connections where this wire could reach, seem clean. But maybe I'm stupid, or missing a clue. Or maybe this wire was shortened, or should be going somewhere else (in the cabinet)?

FWIW, the game works and I'm not aware of any critical missing functions in the HU / free play environment. But stray wires bug me.

Quoted from cottonm4:

It is a ground wire. I have one on my Robocop. It attaches to your switch plate with the screw near your green switch button.

Awesome, thanks! I'll crimp an eyelet and put it back where it belongs.
