    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Just spotted this on ebay:

    Damn! Came to the thread just to post this one Pretty amazing hacks... Bunch of jumpers on the solder side too. The bonus ancient leaky batteries are just icing on the cake.

    From a Totem I picked up that had been routed in south-central Alaska... Honestly wouldn't call this one among the worst, but definitely unusual. Wood flippers and a wood drop target replacement, lovingly hand carved. Rather faithful reproductions and the flippers play better than I'd have ever expected. The drop target looks like it must've worked fine too until it broke in the same way the original plastic ones had. I'm assuming this was the result of poor parts availability pre-Internet age. Definitely going to hang onto these parts once I swap them out for the proper stuff, they tell a story of a very well loved table.

    It's amazing that thing functions to the degree it does.
