Quoted from PinballCoug:Little more than what mylar would protect. It's the shot coming in from the lower side flipper getting in there causing damage

so in 25, mostly routed, years there is a hint of wear. this shows the cliffy is not needed.

Quoted from purplemunkydishw:soren I'm curious, if any other traces of Houlton are still in the code anywhere? It's small town in Northern Maine, and would have likely been the 3rd starting city, but it was dropped for some reason.
Houlton is just a misspelled Houston that was before Dallas was chosen. There's already 3 east coast cities. Seems simplest explanation is they considered the Houston then changed to the larger Dallas. If they wanted a third starting city it would have just been Atlanta as its already in the starting column, no real adjustments would be needed.
Quoted from purplemunkydishw:There is Miami and New York and?
those are the only 2 starting cities but atlanta is also in that column, if they wanted to to have a 3rd it would have been that one. No need to change anything physical in the machine. all boards for lighting would have been the same. If they used a small town in Maine they would have had to remove the atlanta art, and not cut that hole, and have the light board design changed to move that bulb up and move the 2 GI lights that are near there plus the moved PF hole. All for a small town no one ever heard of? Everything else is a major city (or ohio/Minn), including the misspelled Houston that would have been a minimal change. The only small place on the game is Butte. There's not a whole lot of options in that area, plus its a funny name. They likely used Houston early then added the edge lights to the country map which meant they needed to move that city slightly so it became Dallas.
Quoted from purplemunkydishw:Its weird but this works on Atlanta, and only Atlanta.
My thinking is it was Houlton because its pretty much the "end of the road" I.E. I-95 ends there before entering Canada. The other 2 east coast cities are southern and middle-ish areas of the map. Maine in the US map is grossly undersized for what it is to make room for the blast zone hot dog, but is all stuff that would have been tweaked while the software was being laid out.
sure its the end of the road but unless you from that area, anything north of NY is canada anyway

Quoted from ClarkKent:Mine has that, too. I think the first run has these holes as it was planed to add a post there as far as I know. Maybe it would add something to the game placing a post there?
common on games destined for europe. They required it for a while. Was your game reimported? if not it was likely planned for export but then got moved to a USA game. You can see that it was installed at one point.
Quoted from gweempose:ClarkKent is in Austria, so that makes sense. I don't think my game is a re-import. The sticker on the back says 120v. It does have a new coin door, though, so maybe I'm wrong.
then maybe it just has an overrun export playfield in it.
