Glad you folks like the eclectic too. The first pin I played as a kid was a brand new Spirit of 76 at the local bowling alley. Pins usually speak to our sentimental memory and that's true for me too. I had to get an EM eventually.
By the way, I looked at the Sweet Hearts today and fiddled with it until it was working! There were a few minor adjustments I needed to make, but the main problem turns out to be that I had a pair of connectors switched in the backbox. That's another thing you gotta love about EMs - in an SS game that would undoubtedly fried something expensive.
I have one problem rollover feature to figure out, but otherwise the game is 100%, though pretty dirty and with very "seasoned" rubber. I played a few games. It's a good one! I was surprised at how snappy it is for such an old game.
Ding! Ding!
