General question on why (and when) EM's went from lighted numbers to score reels. It seems like the maintenance would have been easier on the lighted numbers. I get you could get more artwork on the backglass but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason. Anybody know the history on this one? Was it related to moving to multi-player machines?
