                | I purchased this machine NIB (new in box) from Jim Thorton 
                    at Icon Amusements in Chicago. The cabinet was in great shape 
                    for a Stern machine, no dings or paint smudges. Everything 
                    worked from the start. I added the modified post to the ring 
                    shot ramp. I also removed the sword and polished it. I did 
                    add one modification to it, the Palantir multicolored LED. 
                    It creates a very cool effect and is easily removed. Let me start by saying I love medieval themes. I played Dungeons 
                    and Dragons when I was young and most recently was addicted 
                    to World of Warcraft (recovering.) The vast number of modes 
                    always keeps me coming back for more. Destroy the Ring is 
                    timed. Even though you've beaten it a hundred times before 
                    you can always get a better time. Then there's Valinor, at 
                    least thats what people tell me >.> Valinor is the wizard 
                    mode on this machine. You have to beat all of the other modes, 
                    no simple task. Then you are treated to Valinor. I haven't 
                    seen the mode yet and I refuse to cheat. I want to see it 
                    when I beat the damn machine, some day. Lord of the Rings 
                    runs a very close second to Twilight Zone as my favorite game 
                    of all time.
