OK, another 20 or so games tonight with no problems .. pretty confident now that I have fixed it ... you never know though..
Now .. that is 45 games since last night and still nowhere near beating that default high score .. this game still kicks my butt badly 31 years after I 1st pkayed it .. no wonder its one of the best pinball games ever made .. I am very scared of how much harder it will be when I eventually instal that brand new clear coated CPR playfield down the track
