You're most welcome Joe, you really did a terrific job there, just
sayin.

Also, when I say 'I don't know Mark personally but I've had the
pleasure of reading his posts on rgp from time to time and have
benefitted from his many contributions to this community, I'm not just
blowing hot air.

One of the things that Mark did (to impress me the most) was his
creation of the replacement clock board for TZ.

http://www.pinballpal.com/ultimate/

I looked at it his board from different angles and perspectives many
times, at length, and marveled how it had taken into consideration
everything that was a real or a potential problem with the original
part.  With no disrespect intended to Rottendog (I have a temporary
one in my TZ now), I haven't lost all hope yet that Mark, one of these
days, hopefully sooner than later, will have the good health and the
desire to go into production with these boards and that I'll be one of
his first customers in this undertaking.  I'll install it like a badge
of honor on my TZ, whatever the price, you hear Mark?
