Top Score mystery ball feature is awesome but I don't think I have ever hit the special target while it is lit. I've had one a few years now sometimes the ball goes so fast sometimes you can hear a sound like 'zing'

It was a badly written post wasn't it..me bad

In this picture the 'Special' star roll over and the 'Special' target are circled in yellow. It happens to me that I light the special with the star roll over and then manage to hit something (initiating the score motor) before getting to hit the special target for the free game.

The mystery ball hole is circled in orange. The capacitor/diode/ resistor plug that operates this feature was missing from my game when I got it. Following the schematic I built one and it works really well. I guess maybe that's why I think the mystery ball feature is so awesome. I actually figured something out that works.
