I'll second the notion. Strong flippers are important to this game playing well. You can say that about many games but this game's left ramp shot will frustrate you if the flippers are weak. A friend had this game, cleaned it up very nicely, new rubbers, installed extra lighting (below the lower...

I'm glad I was able to be a part of this! First pins are exciting, and with the loading adventure and shrink wrap solution, it's yet another reason you won't forget the evening for a long time.
