Very nice, a great pin. Now if you want to go to the next level..........What I did was to replace the two GI lamps that are closest to the white Clone Chamber target, one on each side of it, with PPL's super bright (4) cool white leds. Then you wire just those to a micro switch that you attach to the clear plastic just below the the top plastic. The micro switch has an arm that extends into the lane that the ball travels to on its way to the white target. The end of the arm is just in front of the target. Result is that when the ball heads up to the white target it activates the micro switch which lites the VERY bright white leds then hits the target which scores points and makes its cool sound. Its actually a bright flash which lasts for a second at the same time as it hits the target. John
