Got my highest score a few nights ago, about 45 million after a Land Grab. This is my first machine, it feels solid and lots to shoot at. But for some reason I don't get emotionally engaged while playing it. I wonder if it is because rather than gunning for the big boss or bad guy I am basically playing as a greedy capitalist.
This is my wife's favourite pin because it rarely goes down the outlane and is actually a good height for her, it is lower than my other pins.

If you download the ROMs from ipdb.org and search in moncpu.320 you can see the text:

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE FOUND THE GOLDEN THIMBLE! SEND YOUR NAME AND E-MAIL ADDRESS TO [%1]@PATLAWLORDESIGN.COM FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR [%2] [T-SHIRT] [COFFEE MUG] [BACKGLASS] [JACKET] [GRAND PRIZE]

Whether you can actually get to that is a different question!

I'd like to look a bit more in this ROM, there are some funny things in there:

BEFORE YOU DUMP THE LIST TO RGP YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SOME MESSAGES ABOVE AREN'T SHOWN IN THE GAME CLOSE YOUR EDITOR AND PLAY SOME PINBALL!

First, a public service announcement -- check the wires running between your ramps and the hex posts on the slingshots. I had one pair worn through the insulation that blew fuse F7 and transistor Q29.

Next -- anyone ever have trouble with the ball getting stuck after falling down the A-B-C guides? I put on new Titan rubbers, wondering if the rubber size specified is too large.

The rubber map shows 3/16 ID rings at the top of the guides, and 5/16 ID rings at the bottom.

I just finished a playfield swap, Planetary Pinball has NOS playfields for $475

My original playfield was in pretty good shape. I was surprised when I got a new one, how much colour fade there was on the original (that I never noticed until I had a new one to compare it to).

I may have one ring that is too big, I'll pull it off and double-check. It is hanging kind of loose on the post.

Measured the Titan 5/16" ID rubber exterior diameter -- 0.704".
Plain old white rubber 5/16" ID exterior diameter -- 0.680".

For now I have replaced one Titan with said white rubber...

I have one flaky row (horizontal 5 dots on the middle block) on the Electric Company sign. It comes and goes, if I push on the back it seems to "fix" it so probably a bad solder joint. Is it possible to fix this by reflowing solder? Most of the components are surface mount. If so -- what I am looking at as the likely culprit?
