You can access the optos from the MPF
by unscrewing the 4 screws on the underside of the MPF. Then pull up the whole black plastic assy with the optos

Quoted from ArcadeTechNerd:So... Being firmly ensconced at home like most of the world at present... It seemed a good time to break in the new resin based 3D printer.
And what would be a good test, that is also useful? Or at the least, really cool? Perhaps some new playfield posts for Doctor Who!
Now just have to figure out the best way to light them.[quoted image][quoted image]
Pretty cool!

Quoted from Tophervette:Welcome to the club of Doctor Who pinball. The plastics are most all listed on Ebay. One guy in the Russian Federation sells the whole set. Another guy sells them separately. There is pinball website in the UK that I have gotten some parts from that are not stocked at my favorite Marcos site. https://www.pinball.center/en/shop/pinball-parts-by-game/doctor-who/?p=1 They have all the plastics too. Share a picture of your game when you get a chance.
I have an extra set of Dalek Sling shot plastics if you happen to break one. During my restoration, I chose to replace the screws and nuts with shiny new ones and added washers to the top of my plastics.
watch out on plastics from pinballcenter (besides other items including artwork)-they are known for their inferior artwork quality
Better than missing plastics but far away from the originals or good repros

Quoted from rwarren28806:After a lot of swapping of bulbs, I have decided to leave in the incandescents in a couple of sockets which alleviates the problem.
So I get that squared away and now the ninth horizontal row from the bottom on the display is out. I bought new ribbon cables and replaced them all (Yea I know, overkill). Still out. Where should I start looking at?
The vertical line in the picture is the test mode line so ignore it.

It is quite common that some lines not working anymore on DMDs after some time.
Usually a bad contact on the DMD glass.
Can sometimes be repaired with contuctive paint or better epoxy and some skills
