The difference it makes is amazing.. Have you installed them yet? It's hard to recall, but the Missile Command games came straight out of the crate with shiny balls! How many can actually remember that? I was an arcade game fanatic, so I was usually there to see brand new games un-crated and put on the floor.
Which reminds me, I never saw a Williams game (Joust, Robotron, Stargate, Defender, etc) work on the first attempt at the arcade - they always had a RAM failure. 4116 RAM has got to be the worst memory on the planet. ....especially if it was made by MOSTEK!! LOL

My old friend George Pimms, set the Missile Command marathon world record way back in the day. He smoked two machines in his official attempts. Bumpers Arcade brought in a brand spanking new Missile Command and unpacked it in front of the Guiness people for his record setting attempt.
There was a NOS Make Trax cabaret that was opened up at the NW Pinball and Game Room Show this year, and it had issues right out of the box.
I will be installing the Ball and spindles in a couple of weeks when things slow down a bit for me.
