The game has all brand new boards. I just tried it before I headed out to work. It worked for a second, then stopped. I touched the bat and could feel it was trying to energize. I moved it by hand and then it worked fine. Both the upper and the lower. I'll have to investigate closer.

I got the flipper figured out. I didn't have one of the connectors on the rectifier board seated all the way. It's too short so I have to unplug it every time I flip the rotisserie. When flipping it back I didn't seat if all the way. Simple things, I swear. I'm trying to upload the first game play vid and it keep crashing so we'll see if I can get it posted. 3 things I found. The right sling is gapped wrong still causing it to machine gun every now and then, the saucer needs adjusted, it's not registering a ball and the right inline switch is tight and hanging the ball slightly. Other than that, she's ready for the cab. I'm on vacation the rest of the week and next so that won't happen until after then.

Back from vacation. I was able to get all the switches gapped properly and the star rollovers working like they should be. Playfield is back in the cabinet. All most there...IMG_2361 (resized).JPG

Those are phenomenal. What any ingenious idea. The lay down lamp holders is such a clumsy way to light them. Those are slick man. I so wish you would have posted them before I put the playfield back in the cab. Seriously impressed. Great job, Zitt. I will most certainly use them on my next restore coming up. Is there an easy way to wire them up. Particularly on the controlled ones. I'm an electronics moron. I'm good at putting back was there but freelancing is not my forte.

Got the light boxes installed. I bought the repro one from pinballlife. While it is nice to have new clean ones that aren't heat warped, I was disappointed in them being cross overs to the originals. I may have misordered but the sizes don't line up with the originals and more importantly, they are too deep and won't allow the backglass to be installed.

I ended up sanding them down and they turned out well; just not as exact as I would have hoped for based on their cost.

Installed:

And with the backglass and powdered lift channel. I also need new trim. The ones I bought are so loose, they won't stay on. The backglass needs cleaned still. Kinda bummed through, my original is showing lifting and this one, while it doesn't have lifting, have a flake missing where a display rubbed. I need to find a flawless one now. I really dig the red led score displays. Obviously they don't film well.

Cleaning up the back box. Years old duck tape has left a gummy mess where someone decided to label the connectors. A little acetone makes short work of the gooey mess.

A little more tidying up and the backbox is complete.

I always hate screwing through the ground braid to marry all the ground together in the head. I put solder lugs on the two ground braids so they could be cleanly married together and easily disconnected if need be.

Almost glamour shot time!

I honestly think it's more about pinheads not knowing about it versus lack of wanting them. I had no clue they existed but would be thrilled to use them. I suspect if you did an announcement thread you would get the quota you need. Sign me up. I need enough for fathom and medusa. That's nearly a dozen right there.

So here's the obligatory garage door photos. It's bitter sweet though. I have played at least 20 test games before moving it. Get it in the basement and setup. Play one ball and lose all playfield coils save the flippers. The playfield fuse blew. Now to hunt down a problem on a "completed" game. Grrrr...

Few more, then back to troubleshooting. I wish there was more natural light but I live in a forest so I have tons of tree cover blocking the light.

Figured out the fuse. The sling was shot gunning and caused it to blow. Pulled the switch and it was shorting to itself. Fixed, new fuse and we're good to go.

Thank you.
I agree. I had a logo printed but it's too big. Waiting on a replacement.

I'll pm you in a bit.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm thrilled with the outcome of the total package.

I intended on some cab interior pics in the natural light. My driveway slopes pretty hard, if I was to guess 10-15 degrees. I was scared the playfield would slam after I just finished the game. Since I was by myself, I errored on the side of caution. I promise to get some underside/interior pics, albeit with the game indoors on level ground in the next day or so.

I wish I could tell you. Alas, someone made an unsolicited offer to buy it and with the amount offered, I let it go.

Yeah. Hard to say no to someone when they’re offering stern premium prices. It went to a good home though.

Love the gold take on my stencil. I would love to see any others who went with this design.
