You have some time. I have a few parts to order and waiting until I get the upper torn down to make a list. I can’t wrap up the lower as the rings are stuck somewhere in Texas since the 19th. Hopefully everyone down there is safe.

Will do a “Where’s Waldo” of a Golden monkey for you to find.

Upper tear down on the bottom side. Some more Canadian screws found on the subway. I’ll get the correct hardware when installing the new subway. Someone spent a lot of time strengthening the old subway. Not pretty but was fully functional.

The upper playfield mechanisms. They’re all in good nick. Just needing cleaning, rebuilt and new wrappers.

The ramp parts are cleaned and finished tumbling so the new switches were soldered in and adjusted after the ramp was assembled.

The new targets are installed. All but one red and one yellow aren’t installed. I missed one and the red is in the way of mounting on the rotisserie.

I made it too easy lol!

Here’s the LED pop rings. I am testing cool white, warm white, and pink in that order. Pink is if ally nice but in this case is way too pink. I personally like the warm white the best but cool white isn’t bad.

One day I’ll put these in my own machines.

The Titans came as a welcome surprise so was able to finish up plastics after putting them on.

Not sure what looks best as they all look good for the lower flippers. Tested black, white, red and gray.

The ramp is fitted and looks to work fine. I need to Mylar under the ramp entry/drop. I’ll tidy up the wiring better when it’s installed for the last time.

Some more parts today including the ball shooter section and some lamp holders. And the Enhanced Cliffy frames we fitted look to be perfect. Not sure when he’ll have these for sale but I’ll ask!

I added one of the tree plastics by the right spinner. They include several extra tree plastics. Hoping to find a few more spots for the spares.

GI tested and ramp fitted. Mylar at the left ramp drop, ball return and ramp flap.

The pop caps look yellow but they’re actually an orange/amber in person. I have a warm white here. I wired up the strip behind the flipper and both ball ejects. I changed them to clear so they can be lit differently. The center eject is a fast color changer with the GI. The left eject is wired to light red along with the red “Banzai Hill”. Wanted this to stand out when lit.

Cliff confirmed the flipper frames are for sale and ready to go!

Missed six 8-32 T nuts on the top side of the upper playfield. This takes more attention and using Ron’s kit will help prevent chips. I use a sharpie but if you’re careful you could use a hand nut driver and let the t nut make slight indentations.

Then use one of the bits Ron includes and seal it.

More progress today. The mechanisms are wrapped up on the upper playfield along with the GI jumpers that are all over the back.

Ring choices match the playfield art.

Some more wood repairs to side rails.

Heads up if you have a Mirco. Two holes are far off. I made new holes using kruzman kit again.

Most of the metal is installed on the top side. I need to get a few TIG’d as they get a beating.

Karolina approved the lower playfield completed.

Hand me the zip ties, I'm going to clean up this harness quick.

Done lol! Now where's that guy that was saying the horrible wiring job and wasn't even that far yet!

I've sent Peter Inkochnito the motor test switch decal so he can add it to the others he has collected.

Motor Test Switch Decal (resized).jpg

New cards for the apron installed. The flipper assemblies are all installed however the one was pretty ugly despite being cleaned so it will get a new plate. For now the upper Freestyle flipper is done. And the correct 15/16” pinball installed.

You missed the GM twice in this page. BTW we were thinking of ya when we at Log Cabin for the fat neighbor’s birthday on Thursday. (Inside joke about my wife).

The ball carrier assembly is installed. Gerry has a new decal for it so I removed the old. I’m starting to lay in the harnesses.

Finished painted of the wooden sides after fixing the chips.

Took the day off to get my other hobby going. I needed to use up the rest of the fuel in my tank up from October and top off with some fresh fuel and give it a wash. Topped it off with a rear diff fluid change and new diff cover using ARP stainless 12 point bolts. The BMR panhard needs to come off so the cover clears the ring gear for removal.

Soldered all the targets and the three new micro switches. Still have the coils and flippers to go. The two need flipper frames are in so transferred both rebuilds over. The lamp harness is also laid in following the same LED list as before: (all NG) sunlights for all but red, green and blue that match those inserts.

The wooden rails are also on so it’s all but done other than the TIG work which should be this weekend.

Lower playfield: I added two star post lights to the clear posts. GI tested and working.

Also lower insert lamps all working.

Cleaned up the wiring. These three pieces need work. I have the TIG worked out this weekend and that should wrap it up.

Looking great!!!!

It looks great! Hats off for the dry method. I’ve had so many failures doing it myself that way.

It’s crazy just how different everything is on BR. The lower cabinet is even different. It really must’ve added quite a lot to the average BOM for the era.

I wonder what the pricing was? More than an average B/W game of the era?

The TIG work got done today. I regrained and reinstalled. Ended up using some stainless rivets in the holes to replace the aluminum ones someone used to repair many years ago. It got a bead to back it up.

I think it’s about ready.

I can see why! It’s almost two machines packed into one cabinet.
