Quoted from thedefog:Finally got this beast re-assembled on the bottom, coils and switches cleaned, new sleeves. Onto the top reassembly now while I wait for parts to come in so I can finish Centaur. Still battling with the MPU on this Comet as well, but I think I finally narrowed it down. Pictures soon.
how difficult was the removal and replacement of the bottom side? I was considering doing this to my comet but the underside scares me.
your game looks good
Thanks for the pics. For some reason, the staples are what scares me the most, I know its weird, for some reason the fact that some bulbs are just held by staples and what appears to be glue(?) scares me.
Did you have any problems with those parts?
Quoted from thedefog:I desoldered those parts and left the bare GI wire lines in tact. Also left a few jumper GI lines and just took photos and labeled those wires to I could solder them back in place. They're stapled down then they applied solder to the staple/wire braid.
It wasn't the best method, and over time they break loose and will and do cause problems in games. If you have any dim bulbs even when they are new, that is usually why.
how much soldering is required for the playfield swap? THis part I am worried about, I am not the best with the soldering iron, and I have a pretty crappy one.
