I have a 1977 sonic mars trek. Everything seems to work good except one thing that seems strange to me. If you spell "mars trek" your supposed to "obtain special" -as stated on the rule card.

Every time I spell "mars trek" the scoring motor begins spinning (like crazy) and high score locations momentarily light up randomly all over the play field. This all stops and goes back to normal after a drain and next ball continues.

My question being:

Is this normal operation for this game? Is that what obtaining special is supposed to do?

It seems chaotic and wrong to me. I'd like to know if there's something I should be repairing.

It's a great game, super fun to play especially with a group of friend and. It would be nice if I knew if it was operating 100%

Thx.
