Hi Wayner,
Congratulations mate.. another Rocket Ship hits Aussie shores!.. one of the most beautiful woodrails ever made
The playfield is held down by the screws that run up the timber rails either side of the playfield. Unscrew these and you should be able to lift her up no problems..

Hi Wayne,
I always put a step down inside the machine and then run a conventional Australian 3 pin plug. This will give you an earth that you can run a link to the metal door to make safe as your earth leakage switch will trip at mains should you encounter any problems. The woodies had a floating voltage system which by todays standards is a big no - no. A 200W step down is more than enough to run a single woodie and a hard wired iron core compact type can be bought online really cheaply... until you can get one, just make sure the door is safe and place an insulator ( sheet of plastic or electrical tape) round those cotton coated wires.

Would love to see some pics.. my Rocket Ship arrived just before Xmas, its a game id been after for many years.. whereabouts you located?
