Any way we can lock this thread and move it to the other Skee-Ball one ?

On the ebay auction above, notice it is for a replacement this fellow designed to retrofit the old machines. What I would like to see/build/retrofit is have the old classic look, but newer circuitry on the inside. If you wanted to interface a PC, a very cheap one could handle things (provided you ran a small version of linux/dos with a custom program). You could use the electronic circuit I posted earlier as a counter, then interface to the PC using keyboard hack/ipac and have it control the ball release, sound effects. That is, if you want to go that route. I'm all for keeping it simple, though a 286-386 could handle something as simple as this.
