The rules in general are fairly simple. But there was room to add a bit of complexity as well.

For the most part its what Brian mentioned, you hit all the shots to spell all the characters. Do that to start one of the multi balls.. Then there's the cogs vs spacely mode which it a bit more involved. Shoot the scoop to "lock balls" then capture the ball the saucer.. a new ball ejects then you have to lock the balls again to release. Once release, capture the ball again then release via the jackpot newton ball.

Then there the last modes to get in and that's 'eep opp ork ah ah" and "jet screamer"

Guys have to remember, TPC has money tied up in a license and development. They would never make it back by "giving away" these machines.

Anyone who thinks they can start a pin company, sell them for a faction over cost and stay in business; must live on some other planet.

Correct

It's a "smoked" plastic to cover the inner loop. There is a piece inside to help keep the ball in the loop.

I thought I mentioned rules several posts back.

Rules work for what the lay out is. BUT, if people truly hate them, I have no problem rewriting the rules.

Rules are as follows

You have to collect all the characters. Outer orbit (orbitty), targets(george), pops(rosi), loop back(elroy), spinner (left astro), ramp(judy), Jane(lower lanes)

Collecting all characters starts orbit city MB. Rinse repeat by collecting the characters while in multiball, using the newton ball to collect jackpots.

Lanes above pops grant a mystery award, and multiply end of ball bonus.

Left scoop 3 times to "lock" balls, then shoot spacely captive to start cogs vs spacely. Shoot left scoop a couple time to release the captive ball. shoot captive to activate jackpots, collected from newton ball.

Right spinner will be a super spinner type scoring .. spinning it up to advance the points. Score may be related to how many characters are collected.

eep opp ork activates when you beat cogs and orbit city. This will be a take on collecting XX about of switch hits.

Then there's Jet Screamer.. Activates, when eep op ork, orbit city and cogs have all been beaten. Rules not fleshed out yet, but you may be force to collect X amount of random characters, locking them in the captive, then releasing with jackpots shots.

Another take on jet screamer would be to collect 2 or more characters again.. using left scoop or right captive(most likely) to start mode. Depending on how many characters you collected before starting, determines your jackpot amounts.

there is a center ball guide in the elroy shot. Cant tell from that pic, but I know it exists and works as intended.
