Excellent repoduction. I have the original game in my collection and I must say...great job! I dont know if it's been said or if you're aware...there is one minor game play flaw I noticed while playing. I noticed that when knocking down all the targets, it activates both the xtra ball and the special. In the original game, knocking down the targets only activates the special and lighting all three thru lanes at the top activates the xtra ball. I noticed that when doing either it activates both the special and xtra ball.

 

Thanks for the great work!

Not 100% certain, but that behaviour is controlled via the rom, so just press F6 while playing the game and then you may be able to select that aspect of the "all targets hit" you seek. Once done, you will need to press F3 to reset the rom (which loads the new settings).

I apologize if this advice is incorrect, I usually try and play test before offering it but I cannot test this at the moment.

When set to 5-ball game, it behaves as Sirius explains. When set to 3-ball, completing either the rollovers or the drop targets will light both EB and Special. Setting it for 5 or 3 ball play can be changed with F6, as The Loafer mentioned. You can also change whether Special awards a replay or an EB.

Ah that explains why I seem to recall same behaviour as the OP mentioned, as I have it set to 5 balls, just like the real one was set to that I played back at the Rideau Arcade in 1980 :)

Not sure why, but I never seem to have tried it. Just corrected my mistake. Fantastic looking and playing table and indeed the wheel animation gives it additional authenticity :)
