Thats a nice game with all the extras. Makes up for the missing Hologram. This game is such a great player, and the holo has NO effect on gameplay.

Hmm.. that does not work. I tried thinking like that for years..  @@^

I have owned two of these and it is a great game/player.
The holo may have no effect on gameplay but it is a essential part of the game and without it the pinball is just not the same imo.
If the mirror motor and light assembly work you can get a replacement holo( slightly different in looks than the original to avoid a law suit from universal) from pinball heaven in the uk.
I put one in the last Jap creech I had after the seller sold me a whole heap of crap about the original holo being fine...turned out it was anything but fine.
The replacement is bright green and looks fantastic.

Yeah this one is one of luke's (specialwhenlit) and has the creature model mod with a green led but with the holo gear still underneath in case a holo is found. Mine only has the model and agree it doesn't affect the game play but it does enhance the game play when it lights up etc.

I'm in a bit of strife with the wife on this one so will need to calm down for a while . In fact she is already trying to sell one of my other games  %.%

Thanks for the info .. didn't know about that option from Pinball Heaven.

I have been wanting to get one of these for about 18 months .
This one appealed because its in good condition and has a lot of bling added

Yep , I can relate to that . I took her with me yesterday to check this machine out so she could see why I wanted to spend so much on one game . I think she could see the value in it .

Nice pick up!! The holo issues are annoying, but it still plays among the very best of all DMDs.
