I think I have it figured out but what is that yellow thingy on the mini playfield?  Is it a ball trap that raises and lowers?  If so I've never seen anything like it.

That's exactly what it is. Here's a vid where the ball is trapped (note - this was an early software test).

Here's a better vid - the ball lock captures a ball, and the next time another ball enters the mini-playfield two-ball multiball starts.

So from which pin is the ball lock - to me it looks plastic so I am guessing not a Mousin' Around! but something more recent?

I think it will be even FASTER with the clearcoat. I hope the guys have plastic protectors. Replacing the NONFactory ones is going to be hard  !^!

I think you're right Nino, we've spoken about the likely speed a few times. Might have to set this one at 6.5 degrees max I suspect!

So does Nuggy get a very cool toy award or was something like that done before?

It's a Data East part, from Secret Service.

Mousin' Around! has similar ball locks - called ball eaters - on the left and right loops which are activated by completing the MOUSE TRAP stand-ups (helped by the light letter rollovers in the flipper returns). Completing both ball locks enables three ball multiball. Jackpot is achieved by completing the ball locks again (which release the ball this time and drops the ball lock back level with the playfield) and then shooting the right ramp well enough to get to the mouse hole.

I haven't seen a Secret Service which was manufactured a year before MA, I believe, but it looks like it too has two ball eaters which lead to a 2 or 3 ball multiball depending on which targets you hit. Well, I'm sort of guessing as I can't really tell from the pictures.
