    This King of Diamonds uses real playing cards! Very authentic!

    This doesn’t look to bad... until I figured out this is the coil from the knocker that is in pieces on the bottom of the cabinet.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    A high number of the routed project games I've encountered were missing the knocker coil. Operators liked to use it as a spare tire.

    Even crazier- the correct flipper coil was in the bottom cabinet floating around, and it works perfectly. This pin is full of hacks...
    I am sure they were doing the best they could.

    Quoted from goingincirclez:

    I'm amazed it lasted at all and isn't burnt to a crisp without a hold winding. What game is that on? Must not be much reason or opportunity to hold or cradle the ball.

    It is a Meteor-
    Here is some more gems from the same pin-

    The “Bondo-shooter lane” is amazing!
    Most of the things in this thread are about crappy fixes to things that ARE broken.
    Not this one-
    There nothing to fix and it works great… lets fill it in so it looks shity!
