All my inserts more or less fell out of my Meteor playfield I'm currently working on. I decided to flatten and put them back. But then I got lazy and wanted to get new ones. The cursed colors and sizes were nowhere to be found. So I fixed up the ones I couldn't get and bought transparent meteor target inserts (and spinner) and gonna put colored #44s underneath. However, the big "ta-da" is the rockets. These type of inserts weren't available in '79 and becomes blasphemy, but what do you think so far?

Interesting! I'd like to see it lit up!

Meteor was the first pin I ever played, and have always loved it. (I may be tempted to pick one up sometime, too..!)

Looks pretty cool to me. Do not think that it detracts from the game at all.

Love playing (a good) Meteor.

Dri,

Think your idea of replacing those 'rocket' inserts was great. Have any more pictures to share?

Thanks.
