Black Knight owners - some assistance required pls
« on: December 20, 2014, 12:18:05 PM »
Gents,

To any Black Knight owners out there, I am just completing a very long running rebuild  #@# and just need a quick hand from any one who has the game out there.

On the lower (main) playfield, the drop target bank off to the left (middle) on my original playfield there was five (5) posts behind it:


On the new CPR playfield which is going in, there is only four (4) posts behind it:


The original BK was an early production run.  I note that the really early ones actually had a switch cut out in the centre.  My original does not have this.

Just wondering if any owners out there can take a quick look and count the posts.  I don't want to hack a post into a new playfield if it was never meant to be there.

can take a pic in a few hours if no one else can sooner

Guessing the CPR PF gives you the option to cut it for the standup spot target maybe

this is a pic from siegecraft.us

Naah, not faded.  Red is correct colour.

The blues were a production 'feature' limited to a few of the repro playfields.  Was fully disclosed prior to sale.  It was either an old crappy playfield or a new one with different coloured inserts x 2.
