    I always thought it would be cool to wire my Top Card to rotate the special light around the individual numbers once they have all been hit, a la Aquarius. The "special" shots on this game are so uninspired--none have a direct shot from the flippers.

    A nice stepper unit, and a relay or two, and I should be all set.

    Quoted from Pinballprowess:

    That's an interesting idea... was wondering if you would leave the existing specials on the game alone?

    Not if I could help it, since they just seem to be random shots. Unless of course it created other issues, in which case "random" might not seem so bad.

    I would probably keep at least one or both of these Special lights lit (w/o their corresponding scoring) after all numbers have been scored, so that I knew that any lit number would then be for the Special.

    Okay, who has an extra Aquarius schematic that they can send me?

    I am normally a purist, but couldn't help myself this time.

    Quoted from Pinplayer1967:

    I own Gottlieb's 300 and have been looking for mini vintage looking bowling balls with no luck.

    Hmmm--I own a 300 as well. Maybe I could drill some holes in the balls that I removed from the Super Soccer to make them into mini-bowling balls. Keep the originals intact, you know, just in case. I would think that the holes would show up better on a red ball than they would on the black, but would it still look okay? (I'm thinking probably not--but maybe I could Sharpie them?)

    Quoted from sudsy7:

    That is really cool. Where did you get those?

    ebay.com link: 4pcs Indoor game 32mm Foosball Plastic Soccer Ball Football Fussball funny

    They are relatively the same size (as the originals), although the weight may be off just a bit. I need to do some further tweaking--they seem to work about 95% of the time.

    Cost me a whopping $5.34 (shipped) for a set of 12.
