Mine (converted from a Lost World) is currently on location at a local barcade

Really wish I could find some rebuild parts for the flippers

Someone on FB had a kit last week iirc. Can't find it now.

It's the same rom as flight 2000, so check that manual

I don't think that shot is really possible. Even on F2k it's hard, and F2k at least uses stern drop targets. Gamatron doesn't use a stern mech, and sterns are the ones that are sweepable. On my Gamatron the shot feeds the ball right into the side of the drops like you'd want but it'll just knock down the lowest target at best before ricocheting off into the pop

The gamatron PCB basically turns a regular mpu into a 200 stern mpu, and adds an SB-300 sound board, so I think you're good as is with a regular MPU-200 and SB-300, as long as it's all wired up correctly

The gamatron backglass has the trailing zero included, but if you remove the light behind it it's hard to see. I think using six digit or seven digit is really just your personal preference

If you do the modifications in the gamatron manual, yes. That's how it normally works, since it was designed to work with six digit games

Yup, I have that in mine, works great and fits the theme better than f2k's speech does. But stock, there's no speech at all

Correct. The VSU-2 uses the same callouts as flight 2000 except for the letters / "gamatron" (blastoff) callout, which were cobbled together from other Stern games

Most of the mechs are different than F2k. Maybe they'd still fit in the same slots, maybe not, but I wouldn't count on it
