I'm making a mental footnote, I'm only through the second page, but damn...

that's kind of like stab in the heart to see molex replaced back to IDC. 100% correct it won't be an issue in home use, but man. I hope that's not one of the few things I did to this game when I had it. Pretty sure the last owner had already done all that junk. Only thing I really did was add LEDs and clean the playfield. =P

Just an interesting observation to note... if I ever send off a game to be "restored" I may not want it back "factory" in that way!

LMAO. They did look awesome though. Now to read through the rest of this.

Fun side note. The game as you got it from me already had Next Gen decals on three sides. The last owner had bought a partial set and couldn't ever find a left side. They were put on shortly before I had gotten the game, so alignment issues notwithstanding, you were already an owner of the Reflection Flaw, you just didn't know it!

If you're talking about me, yes, I installed the cliffy's to prevent any damage, not to cover it up. Let me tell you it was SO much fun getting all up in there to do that too...especially the gumball.. >_<

Yep, that's always a personal choice.. I matched the flyer, most prefer the skill shot. lol.

Glad to see you guys were able to use the gumball halves to make a whole. Someone here on Pinside sold me that other half at a very reasonable price, was just waiting for a reason to get back in there to put it on since the old one was secure enough to not bother me.

Did this ever actually happen to YOU, and I'm curious how I would've not noticed battery corrosion on the driver board, which is nowhere near the batteries..

Amazing how something that needs that much "repair" was still 100% functional to my eyes, and to yours as far as I know..

I actually made the owner replace the original driver board from this game because it was EXTREMELY hacked, burned traces, unrepairable. He gave me the one from his Johnny Mnemonic as opposed to just giving me some cash to buy a replacement, never had any issue with it.
