Quoted from Atari_Daze:Is it going to get a coat of clear?
No I have, dare I say, a playfield protector for it.

Spent a lot of time today getting the wiring harness back on the new Playfield.
May not look like much but all that's left to do is get all the mechanical stuff back on it, but that all still needs to be tore apart cleaned up.

Agreed. Not sure why they felt it necessary to punch three really big holes in the playfield only to fill them up with a plastic part.

Quoted from timab2000:Agreed. Not sure why they felt it necessary to punch three really big holes in the playfield only to fill them up with a plastic part.
I think the whole idea was that you could take out the whole pop bumper assembly as one convenient piece, then take it over to the bench for testing and switch adjustments.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:You have a little care package should arrive early next week.
Hope it's not too late!
Awesome. Thank you. I'm looking forward to it. I'll definitely let you know when it arrives.
While I wait for parts I'm going to start tearing apart to drop Target

will heave into the bucket ?Yeah sorry about that I usually try to keep those out of the shot.
The one on the left is my favorite. Those puppies are nice.
Quoted from mad_carl:Shiny
Thanks!
Working on getting the flippers back on the playfield and soldered back up as well as the drop targets.
Would like to give a shout out to "Atari daze" for printing out some new coil labels for me and sending them to me they look great!

I just hated to see some much work being done on this but the old grungy coil wrappers.
FYI these are available to the public at Peter's web site:

donations are appreciated.
Quoted from chad:After media polishing, is there a wax or protection to place on the metal. ?
I usually go over it with this.

Plugged everything back in just to see what would happen turned on the game blew the F5 15 amps fuse. So I have been trying to figure out what is shorting out. Bad thing is I am out of 15 amp fuses.

Good news is all the tests off the coin door button work with the exceptionof the outside playfield perimeter lights. So that is where my focus is at for shorts.

This guy should advertise on Pinside - they would be nice to have on hand and are not too badly priced for the range needed.
Made process today on playfield. All the posts and rubber is on with exception of acouple areas.
Game is playing fine with the exception of the outside GI lights not working. So overall very happy.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:White rings on that one look great!
Thanks! I thought that it would brighten up the playfield somewhat by going with the white.
Worked on working out the bugs today and getting playfield finished up. Game was playing but would reset every now and then. I need to re pin the connectors at the mpu. So I am going to work on that tomorrow.
Some fuses came today so I will work on the GI problem too. The circuit breakers won't be here till late tomorrow. So I'll blow a few fuses messing around with it till they come.
Good day today. Found the GI problem, ended up being two braided wires touching each other.
Used cool new circuit breakers and only tripped 3 times before I found cause.
Repinned mpu and game plays just like it should, so this restore is a done deal. So here are pics of finished game.

Great work, what is next?
Well...Flash Gordon is sitting there looking at me. But I might take a break for a while and do some other things.
I really appreciated your help on getting this game looking the way it does, thanks you for that!
