Initial announcement from Jeff:
 
Four Seasons by Gottlieb
Playfield redraw by me. If you think it sucks, delete the table - lol
Plastics culled from images on the internet
Uses metal bracket primitive by Cyberpez (thank you for it, and to Bord for his version as well).
Uses Bord's new primitive flippers - these look so nice.
 
My view on Four Seasons:
I never saw the game in real, but a few flaws in the recreations were never corrected, so I offer here my Version 1.0a:
 
GAME:
- new physic (cab optimized)
- new POV
- slight layout corrections in order to reduce ball losts
- all object sounds are now in operation and volume levels balanced
- outer Bumpers now wired in parallel
- new ball
- new ball position in shooter lane, new sounds
- new timing, ball ejected when rotator in end position
- at upper kicker holes all arms in parallel operation
- new light control for the lower kicker holes according to real table rules
 
BACKGLASS:
- 1000's commas added, thanks to Martin Brunker for his introduction in Paint Shop
- "rolling" score reels
- new illumination according to the original game
- all displays are now illuminated in game over state
 
zip contains game, BG and pics for cab users
 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.

Thank you for this table, great add to the collection.

Love the way those 2 'hands' work (alhough not very practical, unique and fun


During gameplay I had the ball in the upper "C" hole and.....then it stayed there, ball was not being kicked out.

I'm not sure if the ball was in C before, I guess it was and then it was kicked out well but this time not.

Flippers were still working so table (or PC) were ok and shaking didn't do anything so could only ext the table.

Anyway, thanks for this unique table! 

Update: played the table again and the ball not being kicked out happened again. 
When the ball was directly from a skill shot into the C hole it was ok but when bouncing into the C hole coming  from a bumper it was stuck.

Had the same issue with the middle saucer on launch.
