It's like replacing the hands of an antique clock with 'a modern, LED display'! The charm of a pinball machine is in the vibration you feel from all those solenoids clunking away - and the electromechanical counters are just as important as the buffers. It was a sad day when the manufacturers started updating them. If you have a REAL pinball machine, restore and cherish it - don't ruin it! -adrian -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrian Godwin (agodwin@acorn.co.uk)
