Ant, fair enough. You did the right thing then ofcourse.

At least u are getting it fixed.
You kept it all that time and didnt pull it out and play it, you are very strong willed, i would have been itching to get her out and give it a real good play.

You have a real nice collection.
Hey Ant, what was in the research and developement room, spill the beans ! lol   

Well ,um um there might of be a couple of soccer playfield laying around (could be nothing)
Some plans of a bloke wearing and iron helmet (looked awesome) .

Also Gary mentioned to me that they are doing away with the side armour that covers the flipper buttons , they are going back to the older style(straight type) but will be selling  the metal part that  goes around the flipper button as a separate part . ( the tear shape part) 3 small screws will hold it on .
And why ? because there's more and more pins going into the home market there's no need for the extra protection around the flipper buttons,and also cost cutting .
