I had something interesting happen yesterday, and I thought I'd run it past everybody here. Late in a game that ended up being a very high-scoring game, I noticed that the first three of the green multiplier lights were ALL lit (2X, 3X, 4X) at the same time. I know I was WAY past the 5X stage, and had cleared all three rollover lanes multiple times after getting up to 5X. When I cleared the three rollover lanes the next time, the three LIT multiplier lights moved up to 3X, 4X, and 5X. Very shortly afterward, the game ended. When I started a new game, the lights once again cycled normally one-at-a-time. I guess my question is: was this somehow normal in a very high-scoring game for the multiplier lights to act differently, the more you clear the rollover lanes, or achieve the "spot X" light??? Any ideas? Thanks!

Quoted from sunnRAT:

Strange. I'm looking at the manual now and I believe they should only be lit one at a time and remain lit at 5x even when you max out the 1 2 3.

Hmmm…….if it wasn’t such a high scoring game, I definitely would’ve thought something weird was going on. But for awhile, I was killing it, and had to pay more attention to the ball flying around then to what lights were being lit! Unless I try to duplicate that scenario manually (and still unsure of exactly what I would have to do, to do it), it might be a long time before I ever get to that level again. But going forward, I’ve got my eye on it for sure!

New member! (somewhat - bought the excellent resto job version by Trainmonger).
Going to possibly change rubbers to purple or Glow in the Dark.

I have purple on all but the flippers (yellow), plus a purple 3SMD LED strip in the trough.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Got a bonus sound question please.
I was testing the game, knocking down SKATE targets a good few times and collecting bonus.
Does normal bonus sound and then counts slowly in 1000's with a completely different sound?
Is this normal?

Not sure if I’m understanding you correctly, but….. on my game, if collecting a bonus passes one of the scoring thresholds that I’ve set to award a special, a different sound plays while the game counts out those special points.

Hope that helps.

Quoted from Tallon:

Nice. Thanks Panda. Find me at MGC, I'll buy you a beer. or Whiskey

Question: How do y’all “find” each other at these events? I’m only three years into the hobby, and have attended both MGC and Expo, and it’d be nice to meet some of the guys here with whom I’ve bought/sold stuff and from whom I’ve gotten valuable advice/tech support. Not easy to do when all you have to go by is an avatar or a screen name.

Quoted from FatPanda:

It's painted on. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, it'll take or loosen the paint off and you can clean it off pretty well after. Then get some vinyl sticker paper and an image and print it off. Did this with Flash Gordon as mine came with a Harlem Globe Trotters spinner and a worn original.

Couple questions:

I've started my first CPR playfield swap ('78 Playboy, going slow and wanna get it right), and I'm interested in an ultrasonic cleaner. I just got a vibratory tumbler for the metal parts, but for the ultrasonic, where/type/quality to source?? I'm not a the king of restoration, so I really wouldn't need a PRO model.
And when cleaning up a spinner (my Skateball could use the new image), what would I include in the cleaning solution? Then, after printing and applying the image to the spinner, would I just use Triple Thick or another rattle can clear to seal it??
