Quoted from alexmogil:

Knocked out Bluto again last night. Game sure is fun. I want to dislike it because... well everyone else hates it. I just wish the upper deck was more playable.
It's funny, I have World Poker Tour and I can control the ball on the upper playfield really well, but the Sweet Pea upper deck is just clown shoes.

Did you replace the upper flippers with lightning flippers?

I put standard flippers on the bottom and moved the lightning flippers to the upper based on suggestions found earlier in this club thread. I enjoy the game a lot more now.

Anyone know where to find the silver cleats attached to the bow at the bottom of the playfield?

For anyone looking for a solution to missing cleats on the front piece of plastic, here was my solution...

I ordered these nylon cleats from West Marine. I picked them up in person but I imagine they'd ship. A marine store closer to you might have this same model:

I wanted the 3" cleats because they more closely matched the size of the previous ones, but the holes in the cleats did not line up to the mounting holes. So I went with 4", the holes line up perfectly with the mounting holes. The front lip of the playfield glass does clip it slightly when pushed in, but after you get past that it's fine.

Next I went into Home Depot and bought this chrome spray paint:

I applied about 3 coats of the spray paint to the cleats. In retrospect I probably should have sanded them first because they have molding marks and surface roughness that can show through the paint. But I'm still happy with the way they turned out, it's better than looking at the empty spot. Here's some photos of them installed in the game...
