Replaced the hooded "Sword Ramp Ball Lock Guide"

Replaced Ball Lock with the old style type (LOTR 2003).  
Bought from Pinball Life, see links above.
Dropped a screw way down inside the playfield when fitting it, had to fish for it.  Played a game or two, once I got it sorted out.
  • Does make the sword look better, after being used to the hooded guide.  Already had one ball fall off the sword instead of locking and go SDTM, so I understand why it was changed.  But maybe you have to learn the "touch" of locking a ball.  I'm not sure about this mod yet, more testing tomorrow.
  • Was thinking that some folks buy all their mods at once, and fit a bunch of bling before ever playing a game.  I'm from the other school, play the game try something out. Play some more, try something else. Probably add the Cliffy protectors for the "Gimli/Gollum" VUK and Orthanc tower hole next.
No wear now, adding Cliffys means there will never be any.  Last items to add are the figures and a shaker motor. Not adding a topper or under cab red lighting.  As we say in the UK, that's over the top!  (topper, over-the-top see what I did there?) You have to draw the line somewhere when adding mods.
