[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 270064, member: 6915"] I did quite a bit of searching and here are my findings: -No one ever specifies what the other supposed table was -I found multiple instances of the "one of only two tables to use 1" balls claim" -I also found multiple claims that 1" balls were only used by Truck Stop and "some 60s EMs" (which no one ever names, either) -Even sites that sell 1" balls only mention Truck Stop, or Truck Stop and "some 60s EMs" -The Database mentions nothing about the production error or 1" balls -According to a few people I saw who claimed to have owned one, the manual supposedly does not mention 1" balls -A few people claimed they used industry standard 1 1/16th" balls with no problem (not sure why the TV Tropes article says 1 1/4th"; that's wrong) -I also saw 15/16" balls mentioned several times as working in it Basically, I couldn't find any good info. Just anecdotal, second hand, or otherwise unsubstantiated and sometimes contradictory information. The "one of only two" thing may well be nothing but complete bs that people just keep repeating. If anyone here ever gets the chance to talk to Dan Langlois, Steve Kirk, or Jim Patla, this whole mess might be worth asking for more info on. [/QUOTE]
