Hi All
I have a nice Pace,s reels console with a very good original glass.
I am not sure if the "skill field" part is a ploy to get round the law makers of the time or actually designed to allow the skill shot to make the payout?
Mine just makes the payout straight away.
There is a small assembly under the skill field that looks as if it interacted with the mecahnism in the distant past, but the linkage is long gone.
Even if the linkage was still present to allow the ball to find its way down to the plunger every play, I fail to see how the payout slides could be held until the ball makes the center chute to realise the payout.
Can anyone explain whether this skill field is just a "gimmick" to make it looks like a "game of skill" or whether it did make it a "true"game of skill in reality?
Many Thanks
Nigel
