Must have been added. With it, those outlanes are impossible to hit. Brenner wouldn’t design a game like that.
I want to see the half-moon counter.

Quoted from EJS:

I’m curious to know if someone just threw a bat on there or if it actually functions as a flipper.

If it's locked in that position, it's just a ball trap... you'd never be able to play without glass off.

It also blocks the targets above it, so they can only be hit with the right flipper. It's such a weird addition.

If the owner wanted to stop drains on the left, to give a better chance @ higher scores and longer games, he coulda just stretched some rubber over that lane. A much easier solution.

Maybe his flippers were dying and he wanted some boost to get balls higher in the field. Whatever the reason, it's lame and complex.

It reminds me of King Pin, from Gottlieb, where you can get the upper flippers to back hand the ball right down the drain….

So annoying, but the game is enjoyable and so well done that I can tolerate the stray slap to hell.
