Best idea yet, even without magnets. Better than the large disk for sure and ties in better with the animations they have on the LCD.

Quoted from MrBally:

Twenty-five electro-magnets and a custom fixture to hold them, plus drive circuitry and a larger power supply. Would deposit/pre-pay customers be willing to pay a surcharge for something like this?

I think, you've misunderstood his proposal.

Quoted from tbanthony:

For that matter, the magnets couldn’t be done in a circular fashion to match your lighting so I don’t really get it.

His magnets don't need to match the lighting, he's just saying put some magnets in the area somewhere for some random ball movement.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

They should just keep the 3 discs without spinning and use the inserts. No magnets.

This is also a good extension of Aurich's idea to save time and money if they already have playfields cut with the hole. One large static plastic disc, using the original artwork, with inserts in the same place as before. Make it removable for easy servicing if you like. Keith codes the inserts to spin virtually, probably a snap for a guru like him. Boom! Problem solved. Pinside applauds their decision to put the inserts back into the game, everyone forgets anything was taken out, pre-orders flood back in and Aurich goes to sleep at night knowing he's saved yet another JJP game...
