LOTR, meaning of indicators on play field?

[henrikc]

Hi!
Just got 1500 balls in addition to my 40 delivered with the machines...so now I am playing my LOTR.

1) On the play field, to the right, a ring and a cross lightens up one or the other...
2) And on the left hand side, 4 rings lighten up duting play, and extinguish one after the other when play stops...
What do they mean?, please.

3) On the TFC-screen to the bottom left, there is a ring with two "- -"
What does this indicate?

4) The 4 tokens on the left side of the TFC-screen, which change colour, I realize are stored roulette spins(?)

Anything else to keep an eye open for during play?

Thanks,

Henrik

1) The X and O are the indicators for determining when the wings/claws/tulip/whatever you'd like to call them of the start gate will open for a fraction of a second during play. There's usually a gate on the playfield that appears to do nothing. When balls go through there, that's how the symbols change.

2) These sound like banked spin indicators as well. Usually there are indicators onscreen for the player and a simple LED version for the parlor.

3) This is probably the status display, also used by the parlor. When you hit a fever you'll see this display change. WHAT it displays means something to the parlor...but nothing to us.

4) Sounds like banked spin indicator as well.
