    Leo_T Instead of pulling up on the boards, I push up from the bottom using my fingers in a rocking motion. I was very nervous, but with a little patience and effort the board came out.

    Ken you rock! I have been reading your responses to several of the Star Explorer posts. Thank you for your patience and friendly replies.

    My son discovered the Star Explorer in his Grandfather's shed over the summer that must have been there for 35 years. It has been a great project for us, especially him. He has learned about soldiering and electronics. We have done many of the recommended changes on this post and 2 others. Now, we have hit a brick wall.

    What areas should make sound?

    Currently, we have sound being triggered from metal rollover contact strip of the Bonus strip on the far top left side of the playing field and the Bonus hole. However, we do not have any sound from the top 2 metal rollover contact strips in the playing. These contact strips do trigger the points counter, just no sound. We have replaced the IC202. Do you have any other suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Ken
