Quoted from shirkle:Is this the club?
If so, can anyone beat my Flash 90 score?
I have no idea what happened, but during a really crappy game, I picked up a spare and it gave me 3 billion points.

I would love for this to be the club. I'm new to pinside and don't feel like I'm qualified to be club leader lol. But here goes anyway!
That is some crazy Strike 90 Flow!!!! wow, you just raised the bar!
has anyone had an issue with the Ball return firing for a while after all the balls are cleared out of the back? Its in a hard to get to place and I can't really see it. is this a common problem?
What are the slandered legs for SnS? mine came with 27 on front and 28 on back. I've never heard of this being done, but then again this is a "novelty" pin lol.
Ok, so it’s not a glitch. The billion point shot in Strike 90 is definitely programmed in. I hit it again tonight (I believe it was a second ball with pins 1,3,6,7,10, and I hit all but 7). Anyway, the display said “BILLION” in huge letters when I did it. I was player two both times that this happened.
Anyone else ever had that?

I asked a few people that have owned it and they didnt believe me untill i showed them the photo. Thats crazy. Was that the same shot situation as the first time?

Just joined the club with a real low play, nearly new looking example - love the gameplay on this machine!
Perfect to add to a larger collection. Tonight I added mylar just ahead of the flippers before the factory applied mylar begins.
My template is attached should anyone else want to print it to cut a piece of mylar.
You need to print on legal size paper
First the template:
Now some images installing and after install.
It's installed so tightly to the existing factory mylar that there is no gap at all
After install - hard to see the edges, need to look close

Now some images of the game itself! I'll have to check play count but I'm sure it's under 1,000
Game looks new inside and out
Came with manual, original coinbox lock bar, original factory fuse kit, bulletins, 14 extra balls and the orginal (unopened) factory warranty cards

Added over 6 years ago: Edit ... playcount was 413!
Looks incredible. I’m jealous.
Mine wasn’t nearly as nice, but I polished it up ok and added some powder coated legs, lock bar, and rails. My playfield has a good amount of wear near the flippers. Hoping to find a playfield in better shape some day. Thanks for the mylar template!

That powder coat is just perfect for this game. Well done sir.
I wonder if a scan printed to a decal could quickly improve your PF? Then add mylar over the decal to protect it ...
Finally got my SnS "mods" in the mail and installed.
I purchased an ABC 300 ring (red stone) and an ABC 299 ring (blue stone), then installed them on top of my ball returns
These are engraved with the names of the original owners from 1988 and 1995 respectively (1995 being the same year SnS was made)
Nice conversation pieces and dont block the view of the game in any way
IMG_2312 (resized).JPGIMG_2313 (resized).JPGIMG_2314 (resized).JPGI’ve thought about it, but hard to justify a $600 playfield in a $900 game (what I spent on it a month ago). I’ve thought about the scan and decal method as well, but I don’t currently have a scanner.
