Yours certainly sounds like a tough game with that level of scoring.

Recently, my younger Grandson, Kurtis, was playing my machine. He comes running upstairs fearfully crying.....
"Gramps the game is on fire, hurry, hurry downstairs !" Sure enough there is smoke emanating from it and a
burning phenolic odor in the air. I unplug it and lift open the main unit and notice that the bat mechanism is
smoldering. Kurtis must of leaned too heavily on the button that controls the bat.

I remove the solenoid device that actuates the bat and within a week I got a replacement part and soldered
it in the unit. Lo and behold....the bat swing is now so powerful that the steel balls are being driven with such
intensity that the upper deck HR's are occurring more frequently than before.

I thanked Kurtis for his "inadvertent" enhancement to my machine....he smiled and it made him feel a lot better.


MARK MACRAE.....are you reading this.....with this "slugger" bat swing, you might just beat my score now.
