I have Aloha, and have added a center post. There said it.

I have so much respect for artwork and game integrity, but after much indecision I put in the post, and have been more than happy ever since. My EM purists buddies, admitted the game sucks without it. it's your machine, that was made on an assembly line not some holy relic.

IMO this game isn't much fun to begin with, It's brutal, even with out the out lanes. I mostly keep the machine to go with my other Hawaii themed games, and my wife is from Hawaii. After putting in my post i saw the plastic piece someone made for Ghostbusters, where a clear plastic piece screws above and over the flippers with an upside down post on it... Had i though of that I may have tried that first.

PM if you have any questions...

Opps...

For folks unfamiliar with Aloha. The center hole just below the pops is a gobble hole, and eats a good number of balls blasted down from the pops above. Adding requested pic.

I'm just giving my opinions on a game that serious EM guys that came to play didn't enjoy before the post. They are much better at nudging than me, and would walk away shaking their heads saying "I wonder what Wayne Neyens was thinking"

I agree the gap doesn't look that bad, but some how with those slings and the side lanes somehow would rocket the balls down the center or in the gobble hole, which eats as much as outlanes And i think 'butcher' is a bit much. LOL. Cheers!

TimMe I tried looking under those pop stickers and yeah I was thinking that would be a mess to remove. Thanks for confirmation and the info on them.
