ok having a big play with the ball count stepper after reading Daniels excellent stepper thread  and ive got it to a better stage.... Before, the score reel would just keep spinning at start up. Now it doesnt keep spinning and im able to start a game normally... good stuff!! the only problem with it is that it doesnt reset to zero like the other reels... it resets to a random number... sometimes 2 sometimes 5 sometimes zero .... not sure about this but i think it means more stepper adjusting?

The tortoise wins in the end i think
