You should return it to the retailer and get the one with the cleaning kit...

The salesman, if he's any good, will also try to convince you that you need the AP toggle switch insert and will tell you that it prevents the type of problem you have experienced. So, beware.

Speaking of which, anybody get that thing? I have a fundamental opposition to it, I know a lot of guys keep track in their pocket or whatever of the AP, but if you check the table as the ball is inbounded after the AP throw-in, you should be able to forget about AP...

I didn't get it.. but I keep something in my pocket to keep track cause most of the games I do are ms, and they scorers dont keep very good track of AP.

Even then I don't do it - just one more thing that is not your job that you have to think about...what if you have a discrepancy with the arrow, are you always 100% positive that you change it in your pocket every time? Let them handle it, if they mess it up they will probably only do it one time and be more on top of things after that....

There was one game I did where the girl didn't even pay attention to the arrow.. in fact the first AP.. after the half.. the arrow was UP.

thats why I do it. Its not a big deal and it helps me keep track of the game better. I like knowing.
