The problem we had with our
Star Wars Pinballwas with the
plunger that kicks the ball from
the lower level to the upper
playfield. It would seem that it
tried to kick two balls at the
same time, in multi-ball play, and
broke the plunger. I don't know if
this is a wide spread problem or
not, but I can see it happening
again.

overhead ramps. The longevity
may be in question.
I do like the dot matrix display,
though. The combination of
sound, playfield, and dot matrix
display is done to the same
excellence of all Data East
Pinballs.
I think Data East does sound,
playfield, and dot matrix display
combination better than any
other pinball manufacturer.
Along with their excellent digi-
tal flippers, and popular theme's.
I think Data East pinballs are
the top of the line pinball ma-
chines.

The other thing I didn't like was
that there is no post to hold up
the playfield for servicing. When
your working on just the flippers
(which doesn't happen much on
Data East flippers), the short
posts make you kneel to service
the flippers or you may have to
put the playfield up if your only
5'8" or smaller.

As far as play goes, it was
getting plenty of play for the
first week. For a Data East
pinball though, it doesn't have as
much going on as other Data
East playfields, not as many

If the tilt
doesn't work,
adjust the coin

slam
switch.
The
weight should
be against the
coin door.
I would like to see the tilt slam
have the effect of a hard slam.
It would be enabled if there are
2 or more tilts within a 60
second period. This would then
take all remaining games off. A
"smart tilt" system.
