Pinside member Drano and I were off to pick up my new Gottlieb Buccaneer last night. Before leaving, he was showing me his new Stern Meteor. I had picked up some parts for him including a new spinner decal and plastic set. Looking over the Meteor, I had to do a double take: the Meteor had a beautiful Buccaneer spinner...and I knew my Buccaneer had a Surf Champ spinner on it!
Needless to say, it didn't take much to convince Drano to trade spinners--so that he can re-decal the Surf Champ spinner into a Meteor and I can take the nice, original Buccaneer.
The stars aligned on this one. Pinball karma at work?
