Kinda just happened saw it for sale locally for a good price and ended up three of us in a bidding war but I ended up with it. Im really glad I did ive been working on it day and night and learning alot along the way. It is now working 100 percent and I am now totally addicted to pinball.im ready for numbers 2 and 3 but the old lady says I need to find a better place to put them before that happens lol, it is in our dinning room at the moment. But yea thats my story and I hope to gets lots of info from everyone . I also just ordered cliffy protectors for it and would like to led it up but there is so many to choose from

Cool, man.

Play the crap out of your game and just enjoy it...don't worry about LED's and other mods just yet...it's not for everyone...and you'll be saving $ for pin #2 in the process!
