    Hi,
    My only impulse flipper game is a Williams Freshie, and I tend to agree with the other posters that this flipper arrangement is not my ideal. But, I also agree with O-din, that depending upon the game, it may not be a problem. I got my game at the Allentown show and, lucky for me, it was passed over despite great condition and rather inexpensive. Just needed a few tweaks to get it 100%.

    I had made a video of it and originally posted it on the pinrescue site, as a thanks to Russ who helped me get it going. Has some interesting features - tilt forgiveness (a tilt doesn't end the game, just the scoring on the ball) and "handicap scoring' (if you don't win a game on points or specials after 6 games in a row, the 7th game will light a lane for special to help you out. If you still don't get a game, the 8th game lights two lanes for special, and so on. If by the 10th game, you still haven't won, then every lane is lit. No way can you not win, then! Then the handicap counter goes back to zero for the next round...)

    Also, as pointed out, the flippers are strong...can send a ball back to the top of the playfield. If there's enough bells and pops and light show, then the quirky flippers seem no big deal.

    Joel
