I'm in the club! Got this today at an estate auction. Pic is just before I bought it. Had to use a flashlight to see the mini playfield. It looks good, no ball swirls or insert wear I can see. Both translucent red mini flippers are there. All original translucent targets throughout, only one broken one apparently (it's crooked so I figure it's busted). Only one broken plastic, the long thin one to the left of right ramp, and it's broken near the top hole so I figure I can use a clear washer or something to hold it in place. Does have upper playfield wear though, along the ball arc from the shooter. Minor chip at bottom of backglass. Cabinet is solid but faded, left backbox frame has a lot of scuffs. Note the big green free play video game button someone added.

I was a bit dismayed that it booted up and started a game, you know, a non-booting game scares non pinheads off, ha! But the S&T sounds perfect and when I started breaking it down I found someone had put the ni-cad battery on long leads to keep it away from the MPU. The serial number label still on the MPU says ERF3838 - Must have started life in a Rapid Fire, has hand labeled Elektra 2732s now. Gonna burn a free play EPROM and use NVRAM, that'll take care of that button and battery nonsense.

Quoted from metalkatt:

Just food for thought, but this is how I tackled mine.... Red LED's on the extended necks.... Look awesome once its lit up!! No more tubes to deal with.

Nice, where did you get those?

Can someone take a pic of the outhole switch from underneath the playfield? Mine has a set of contacts crudely bent under the ball trough. It works but I'm 90% sure it's not correct.

Never mind about the outhole switch pic, I see someone posted one earlier.

Quoted from metalkatt:

It would be cool to own the alternate but I think the production version is much better.... they made the right choice.

Agreed. Despite the thing on her head being more ridiculous in the production version.
