Love this crap...absolutely beautiful Stu. My classic line up is starting to finally come together. Here is where I am at.

Classic Bally: EK, Paragon, HGOT, Mystic, Viking, NGS, Bow and Arrow, Wizard!, Skateball, Rolling Stones, Centaur, Fathom, Embryon, Medusa, EBD, Frontier.

Classic Sterns: Stargazer; Seawitch; Nineball; Quicksilver; Dragonfist; galaxy; gamatronx3; F2K; Catacomb; Stingray.

Have sold quite a few but my keepers are starting to become clear.......Stu keep the playfields and pics coming....

Lets get the clear out of the rollovers though.

Quoted from erichill:
I've always been under the impression that Strikes and Spares, along with many other Bally's of this era (Frontier, EBD, Future Spa, Space Invaders, Flash Gordon, etc.), were designed to have their flipper bats aligned to the biff bars as shown in the production flyers. These games all have vital shots that are low on the flipper and feel weird and stuffed up to me if they're calibrated to modern B/W standards.

I don't think so. I used to set up games in the arcade in the 80's and none of them were like that from the factory. Just like Stu said the bar is only for bang backs. They should be aligned to the guide.
