I picked up a 24 in nice condition from a bowling hall 1.5 hours outside oslo. Playfield is very nice, cab has some scratches / wear at some spots. Need to change rubbers, replace bulbs with LEDs and probably add some spots for middle playfield and some extra light for sniper area.
Set to hard, no ball save, tight tilt, then its more challenging and fun!

At start it is lit, and first time the ball goes in there you get 250.000. Is there a way to relight it? Does it advance somehow or is it just what it is..250.000 and no more to it?
I have just ordered LEDs for it, and also I created a 24 rubber kit at titanpinball, if anyone should be interested:

I realized that the rubber kit diagram and number were totally wrong, so I have manually corrected the chart and updated the kit with the correct amount, also done some customizations as red flipper rubbers, and added an extra blue TOTAN rubber sleeve if you want to make the right ramp and sniper lane more challenging (tournament play etc).
The updated kit is here: https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/index.php/view/id/965
Although this club seems very dead for the moment, maybe someone can have use for this 
Quoted from HighVoltage:You didn't think #6 rubber should be bigger than 1 1/2"? My machine was missing that rubber, and trying to install 1 1/2" seems way too tight. I think I will put 1 3/4" there, although I don't have one on hand to try.
Might be, i have not changed that rubber, as i am waiting for the full rubberkit before i start removibg the back ramps and mechs. I will post when i have confirmed what is best, and if necessary update the kit
Quoted from HighVoltage:I had only played this game a couple of times a few years ago and then didn't have access to it. Now that I have it, my impression is that it seems too easy but still fun. It's multiball after multiball. I only played a handful of games, but already had everything lit except Nuke Jackpot and Master Agent and beat the previous GC scoring 185 million. I don't even know the rules yet, just shooting lit stuff. Maybe previous players weren't very good. Outlanes are mid-position, but don't seem to have cheap drains like many machines.
The flashers are awesome on this machine. They were almost all dead when I got the machine, and I put in all 5050 13-SMDs and now it's crazy. That kind of flash is notably missing from Spike games.
I have set up the game really hard, so for my sake its very challenging:
- tight tilt
- turn off ball save
- open outlanes max and remove outlane post rubbers
- replace right post rubber of right ramp with a thicker rubber from TOTAN, this makes sniper lane and right more difficult.

I tested the rubbers now and it seems correct, no trouble fitting 1 1/2 it on.
20190311_140214 (resized).jpgQuoted from HighVoltage:Yeah, I can fit it too, it's just much more than the average stretch. Leave it at rest and compare how much distance it has to stretch compared to the 1 1/4 next to it. Even in your picture you can see it looks pretty strained compared to the neighbor. I'll add a 1 3/4 when I order and compare, I think it would be better.
Of course, You are free to do exactly what you want Please tell me how it is with the 1-3/4.
The old rubber was also a 1-1/2, although at this point it was much "larger" due to age and wear hehe.
