Just FYI- and to second a prior post, in my experience, some games have holes for both a liberal and conservative post placement- many (in my limited experience) do NOT. At least my Gottlieb shipped with holes only for the conservative (drains more often) position. I have toyed with the idea of drilling new holes but decided to leave it alone and play more and get better. I wonder if every manufacturer did this and any play field with holes at the liberal position has been drilled??? Seemed a little odd to me that they would diagram it in the manual as to how to set them up and then not drill the holes for you but its pretty obvious that this did not occur at least some of the time.

And finally- yeah- if I could win a free game anything close to 30% of the time I would quit my job and sell off my credits to the kids at the arcade!

I am just glad I am paying to play by opening up my games and grabbing a handful of quarters to refill the jar- makes sucking at pinball a lot more tolerable and eases the grab a drill and put holes in the game thoughts.
