Based on the Stern table from 1981.
Script based on destruks script from his old table together with TAB.
Graphics based on the graphics redraw by Francisco666 as found on his FP table.
So here it is another "oldie" from the 80's

Big update, thanks a lot!
I love Stern tables from back in the day as well this is definitely one of the great ones for me...Thank You again JP!
WOW, great job again JP! One question/remark - in previous version drop targets on the top were on, now they are off. Could you please check?
Thank you JP, great work
Thanks!
Thank you
Awesome table thanks JP! Love the 80's stern tables..
Quick question. Aren't the captive balls supposed to eject after game over?
Great table but some oddities. The horseshoe doesn't seem to always award what's lit on it. For example, if the yellow bonus multiplier is lit (the X's on each side of the horseshoe), often hitting the horseshoe from below, especially through the right entrance, does not reward the multiplier. The only consistency for this activation seems to be balls coming down from the upper playfield and going to the left entrance to activate the metal gate. Also, even after multiball ends, the blue arrows for increasing playfield multiplier seem to stay active for the remainder of the ball. I don't know if this is how the original machine works, but it seems odd.
Grat to play and looks fantastic
