Actually, only 10,000 made. And only 9,998 available out there because mine is a keeper too! I can only imagine how much MORE I'll love it once I find a strobe light for it! Anyone have a spare to sell??

Lovef2k, save yourself some trouble, those star rollover inserts cost about $1 from Steve Young at Pinball Resource. Otherwise I soak them in 91% alcohol for about 10 minutes then hit them with an old toothbrush.
Oh, sorry Rich, that makes more sense. For THAT I use a super super sharp(brand new) #11 xacto blade. My weapon of choice for most things since architecture school back in the 80s. Depending on how hard (recent) the clear is I will use a hot knife/ #11 attachment on a soldering iron (again with a fresh blade) the upside of the hot knife is no chipping of the clear, if you work carefully. The downside is that it's difficult to handle because the handle part you'd like to use for proper leverage is damn hot!
Back in school we found a german brand of xacto blades that were supposedly "sharper" or sharpened on both sides of the knife edge. I'm not sure how true that was but they did stay sharp longer. And cost more... I'd love to try those again.
YMMV,

I don't have a lot of gameplay on our FG so I have a question for you guys, do your spinners make any scoring sounds when they score? I noticed last night that mine are silent, yet they score. I forgot to check but I'm fairly certain my sound option is set to 3 "Most all scoring will have a noise effect with background"
I still haven't addressed my "emperor roo awaits" sound issue or recapped the sound board, btw. Maybe this weekend...
Quoted from TheShameGovernor:Yes, they should be making sounds while spinning (lit or not). While lit, the sound raises in pitch the more it spins- it's like the best sound in the game! Get that fixed pronto!
Ah, yes! I remember that sound. I wonder why it wasn't working last night... I'll definitely investigate.
Thanks, Rich. I have the S&T board and I happen to have a spare (new) TMS-5200 to test in there. There's definitely something up with that sound board. I didn't get a chance to check it out tonight, our pins are at my studio about 15 miles from home, but we DID watch Flash Gordon the movie again tonight.
Flash! Aaaaaaahh!
Hopefully I'll get to my studio before the weekend is up and I can further investigate.
Cheers,
