Tx again everyone 4ur honest replies!

fyi, just had a Black Knight pin with LED mods & a great topper delivered 2my Appleton basement. Paid top dollar, but think appropriate due mostly 2delivery nightmare as u commented above. Pin was in one piece, so wedgehead barely fit thru doors & down stairs, then needed 2b separated cuz my "Office" door was too narrow. Also, the wedgehead was direct wired by a tech 4some unknown reason, so needed 2cut & reconnect wires with caps. After the Seller left, the "Jet Bumper" didn't work. After much homework, particularly help from the generous & very knowledgeable "Arcade Game Repair Help Group!!" fb group, I quickly learned much about my BK & pins in general. I struggled rewiring most of the ground wires cuz of their delicate, low gauge & tight locations. Everything now works, including more flashing LEDs! As u commented above, think some ground wiring came loose during transport.

SOooo, tx again 4ur useful responses, & I now understand better why almost nobody delivers ... :oops:

Black Knight vs Swords of Fury imho

Tx Chris K & cad-kid!

If I may, now that I played my Black Knight dozens of times plus several hours many years ago, imho, think my Swords of Fury is a much better designed game. While both have two levels & r much fun, Swords seems 2have a bit more action, play & features. The flipper play on Swords is much more versatile. No doubt I need 2develop better targeting accuracy & Magna-Save skills on my BK, but seems like a little less fun particularly the multiball play. Just my early opinion ... :o
