Quoted from Mopar:

Any of the 4 diget Gottlieb Add-a-Balls is a task to flip, but for me,
Ice Show is probably the toughest (and one I'll probably never turn
over) and next up would maybe be Hurdy Gurdy. But flipping any of
them would mean that you got your dimes worth...

Ice show for me also. I havent even sniffed 5K yet. My flippers are turbo charged , I may see if they're yellow dots and put in normal coils. The speed and power of the ball coming from the flippers makes hitting the center kickout holes darned nearly impossible. Ive hit 6K on Hurdy Gurdy and Subway. I have these 3 1966 Wedgeheads together in one corner.

Quoted from jrpinball:

Seriously? I just sold a"DJ" at Pintastic. During one game, I completed the entire rack three times. That machine is usually good for at least three or four pops a game. The key with that game is to tune the slingshots to be strong and very touchy. Same with "North Star".

The 4 & 8 lanes are a bitch , i got this shot where I lob the ball up towards the K or Q then nudge to curve it into the side lane

Quoted from jrpinball:

That's a very respectable tally on "Subway". Have you shopped it since picking it up at the show? Probably plays better at home anyway due to the line voltage.

JR, I still want to strengthen the flippers, they feel weak compared to Ice Show and Hurdy Gurdy, all 3 are lined up on my back wall. I will check the spring tension, I think I have a rebuild kit for Flipper Pool that I didn't use.

Quoted from Mopar:

Had you known, only 400 US units of Ice Show were produced?
Mr. Pinball list 2,000 were made, but appearently 1,600 were the
Italian version. IPDB has it 400 US units (confirmed)..

A couple weeks ago I hit this score on Subway, which is to date my best.
For me Hurdy Gurdy is a tougher machine, but the high scores are set on
3,000 and 5,000 points. Subway's is 2,000 and 4,000..

I really like all 1966 games, I just saw that on IPDB that Ice Show (400)was in fact more rarer than Majorettes (425) and Dimension (490). But they made a shit-ton of Subways (3200) and Hurdy Gurdy (3186)
