New in the basement: 1947 Ballyhoo

One of the last of the flipperless pins!!

Fun fact: I don't think the 1000s scoring has a reset at all.  Guess they felt it mattered so little they would save the money?

I have to solve the logic behind the specials and super specials.  Since in this era they were all essentially "skilled gambling" I want to nail down the logic on the specials and super specials.

Go to ipdb and check the schematics there, what a trip!  I have never seen schematics quite like that before.

Just go in blind and see if you can describe to me the expected behaviour in regards to all the specials.  Go for it.

Epoxy work

Tonight's task was redoing the epoxy on the front plastic on this Arrangeball.
It was cracked long before it got to me, but letting hundreds of hands on it at the show eventually busted the front again.  No worries, all better.  It's a constant debate about preservation vs play, but I kinda feel I'm not the right owner for something if it is so fragile it  can't be shared with the public
