Nice! The physics on the Arcade 1up is refined from what was in FX3 Classic Arcade, so you should have an easier time and nice gameplay than this version.
My pleasure Paleroize. I'm glad you are enjoying it. The standard game setup is such that the Classic Single Player mode (Zen's traditional physics) has enhanced graphics when you load the table up while Classic Arcade mode (Zen's real physics simulation) has replica graphics of the real table. The enhanced graphics include; different flippers i.e. the blue / red rubber on this table but on Theatre of Magic the flippers glow in enhanced mode, the inside sides of the cabinet is decorated, the playfield toys are animated, ball trails, scores popping up. So, generally it tells you the difference between gameplay modes but Zen has also included the option to put the enhanced graphics on / off irrespective of the gameplay mode which can make it a bit confusing. The easiest way for me to see, other than the enhanced graphics or not, is by looking at the flipper angle and the way the ball is being controlled. On Classic Arcade, the flipper angle is lower and the ball will roll off even if you hold the flipper up, while on Classic Single Player you can generally just hold the flipper up and the ball will come to rest if you catch it. Just compare how high the flippers goes up on the Yellow note in between the flippers.
Great job, just got the arcade1up Williams pinball and your tutorial will help alot.

Thank you for taking the time to do this great guide! With time stamps too :)
Keep it up!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and find the time stamps of use. Nobody has the time to watch a full 50 minute video ;-)
Thanks for the Reddit and Facebook posts. Do the red vs blue flipper rubbers tell you the difference between game play modes?
