Quoted from TractorDoc:

The six bank drop target went back together with minimal issues.

Back under the playfield for a test fit; I will pull it once more to make a few adjustments to the height fingers to get all the letters even above the playfield. The "TEOR" look a touch low.

yeah, I'm working on putting mine back together now.... it seemed so easy when I took it apart, but that was like 2 months ago. Funny how memory fades overtime. I vaguely remember taking these little black plastic flange things out, but don't remember where they go. Can you help me out.

found out two of my relay's were burnt to a crisp, I have no idea if they were working in the first place. pretty neat a lot of places still have these NOS.

If I'd know learning the in's and out's of plating would of taken so long, I probably would of taken better notes.

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Glad you figured it out -- Happy to take pictures/post more old ones if you get stuck again.
Posted the picture in a couple other threads, but it belongs here too. Made room in the office at work and now Meteor lives there. . . probably gets played more than any of my other pins now!

Thanks TractorDoc , I need to be more careful. Fell into that trap thinking I could just use the parts manual for a reference, Sadly stern didn't document every specialty part they had. Nice job on the restore, looks really good!
