    What's with the little white button below the shoot again light on the playfield at the outhole? Was there supposed to be a post at one time to divert ball from outhole? Did the game manufacturer decide at the last minute not to put in an outhole post? Also, the manual does not specify any routine lubrication of the two dummy heads. What parts, if any, should be lubricated?

    There was supposed to be a post there and some of the playfields had a hole drilled for the post. The posts were never installed so a plastic plug was inserted. Later games had no hole, but the black circle printed around the hole was still there.

    The manual tells you what should be lubricated and it isn't much. Lubrication in a pinball is a big no-no for the most part. Only metal to metal items should be lubricated. Off the top of my head, the slingshot pivots are one, but typically those don't really need anything if kept clean. There is nothing in any of my DMD games that get lubricated. Now, EMs are a different story...

    I've had my machine for nearly two years. I've never noticed it till now.
