Quoted from JodyG:The blue targets seemed to send the ball flying
Yes Flying! ....... right over the left sling shot assy. l have noticed this as well & thought about if it could be corrected ...... a lift of height in the sling shot plastic ? or a guard of sorts like G.B ?
Aaahhhh!! Ok I see your guard piece over the blue stand ups in that pic. NOW lol ... I may try & make a similar one myself over the weekend good idea !!

Quoted from lordloss:I joined the Torpedo Alley club on this week, $800 for a machine out of an older lady's basement. She wanted it gone along with a pac man and a gamatron, so she paid a garbage hauler to get rid of these titles. I made the guy an offer and he accepted.
Nice score! on a great game , I extend my envious congratulations to you

Quoted from lordloss:Total spent to buy and repair was $835
Hard to find deals as sweet as that .... right on ,& more power to ya!
Quoted from lordloss:Looks like data east forgot a trace. Anyone else have this same factory mod?
Quoted from Chuckwebster:the one i'm working on has that too- i assumed it was done by a previous owner but maybe it was from the factory.
Just checked mine & it also has this but on mine its a little different , only one short jumper on mine & its yellow wire instead of blue

Quoted from JodyG:For those of you with cracked mountains, what would you pay for a reproduction set?
whatever it takes... within reason $ .... 2 of them are attached onto the playfield plastics you plan on doing those too?
Quoted from JodyG:The wheels are turning, and I plan to have a solution this winter.
I for one am certainly interested & would expect interest from others as most Torpedo alley's need them

OMG that looks Super Nice , question are the legs smooth from top to bottom ?
& yeah really nice.... mountains look in excellent shape compared to most
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Thanks man! I'm not sure I know what you mean with the legs? Sorry
On mine the legs have no ridges/ webbing or raised lines they are totally smooth , its the only pin I have with legs like that & have always wondered if original ?

if reproduced I'm down for a set .... I know its a relatively low production game but practically all that are still out there could use them & it seems the game is starting to gain a mild bit of recognition

Quoted from Colsond3:Ironically, I just registered my serial. But apparently Iso Frost has a board out of my game, or owned and registered this one before.
Ha Ha similar thing happened to me with this same title. I logged into IPSNDB to register mine & someone from on here had already registered it using a picture I had posted of my board set in a help wanted thread

Quoted from Whitewater:Mirror blades
hi guys I’m thinking of installing mirror blades, will standard Data East ones fit ?
I would appreciate any input or suggestions
I put some in mine but I had to modify the back corners by cutting a small piece out on each side to accommodate the playfield hinge setup.
