Nice. What makes it so hard to score?

Well, singleshots are pretty slow to begin with unless you shoot two balls at once. But when you have no rebound bumper it is so easy to overshoot. Throw in only one tulip and it gets tedious.

Thanks. I have never played a single shot before but I would like one. My Maruto I just finished has only one tulip (though does have a mini mouth between it and the center feature) and my machine plays pretty loose. It goes through waves of hit a lot, hit nothing. But if having to load each shot it would definitely keep you from having a big run. My Sanyo does not have a bumper either so that I am used to. Do shots that go down that area come back to you or are they lose balls? On my Sanyo they come back to you. Thanks!

Another great looking restoration, Rival. I actually love playing my single shots. It takes a little more focus and the repetition of feeding the machine before each shot is somehow relaxing for me. Don't get me wrong, winning 2000 balls on a modern in fever mode is great fun, but sometimes the sensory overload isn't as relaxing as the vintage machines.

Really nice machine.
