I've written an article about Gottlieb's Target Alpha and Solar City some of you EM guys and gals may enjoy.

The article touches on various topics, which include, but are not limited to:
- the many different incarnations of this "El Dorado" layout over the years.
- why Gottlieb made 2- and 4-player versions of the same game.
- the ever popular discussion about Bally's solid state technology dethroning Gottlieb as king of the pinball hill.
- converting your 2- and 4-player Gottlieb games with drop targets so they'll reset after you've knocked'em all down.
- some game play strategy...written by a guy who stinks at pinball.

Thanks for reading!

Nice article, thanks for sharing. The drop target reset mod looks interesting and intimidating. Would love one of these layouts in that case.
