Wayne - I just looked at those instructions - glad you didn't give them to me ahead of time my attention span isn't 23 pages long! Just Get-R-Done is the easier approach! Remember I am an old man and had to be able to fix anything without instructions long before there was a World Wide Web with all this information.

And if you happen to look at this again tonight I tossed your Ghostbusters up on the Marketplace since you never did tell me if we were keeping it or selling it. Let the customers decide for you is my way of thinking at this point.

The guy for the other Doctor Who never contacted me so here we go again! Back up for sale but I didn't use the "flaked out" comment tonight. Too much heat about that last night!

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Thanks Wayne ! The NVRAM is going to be a great help so I really appreciate that. I'll figure it out, should have time later in the week to disassemble the miniPF... Looks like it's not too bad to take off if you follow the guide. A littl clean up job and it should be good. I can replace the options if need be, but maybe that's not even the issue.

As long as that machine was sitting they might even just have some dirt on them that is keeping them from working correctly? I know from messing them up when shopping machines they need to be fairly clean to work correctly. Wayne will be your guy for advice on the optical part of things but if you have any questions about getting the time expander pulled out feel free to touch base with me also.

To be honest it was not all that bad to remove. Subway ramp has 5 screws & one plug on it and then once that is removed these are a total of 7 plugs on the harnesses for the time expander. Remove those and the "guide wheel" on the right side of the time expander (two nuts under the playfield) and you do the rest from the top. Total of maybe 15 minutes to remove it and that is taking your time.
