Its late and I need to sleep. Taking a break from this tomorrow. Headed up to Maine to see my dad for Fathers day. I will make a stop off in Pelham NH to Pinball Wizards arcade for a few hours on my way. I think they have 100 machines running?

Almost everything re populated. Need to fix my switches for the flipper LED's. LED's for the light strip are still in the mail and I am short one star post which I just ordered with Marcos Game could be playable Monday but not finished by any means. Will get some better pictures another night.

So I got in last night around 11:30 and instead of doing the smart thing and going to bed, I dug back into this until about 2 a.m.

Pulled the backglass and cleaned it and sealed it with krylon triple thick. Sealed the one big flake right back to where it belonged. Changed of the LEDs in the back box.

Took out the lockdown bar receiver and cleaned that up, and pulled apart the coin door and cleaned everything on that.

Gave the outside of he cabinet a cleaning with some purple power. Took a lot or brown gunk off that you couldn't see but the colors definitely look more vibrant now.

Finally put everything back on the front of the cabinet. Still need to pull the legs, clean and install nice new leveled and leg bolts.

Tonight I hope to pull the power board tray and scrub out the inside of the cabinet. LEDs for the lighstrip showed up too so hopefully I can rewire that board.

Thank a

It's varathane clearcoat

For the coin door I used fine steel wool then a product called Never-Dull. It's silver tin full of a cotton ball like stuff. Rip a piece off and rub the metal. Sold in auto stores and Walmart I think too

In case no on saw my other thread, I'm trying to figure out what this writing is on the back of the backglass. It's neat. Too nice for a scribble and didn't wash off. Not sure if it's a previous op or owner that did it.

Good progress tonight. My work space/office/spare bedroom is all back in order now too wich is nice. It was a wreck.

Put the backglass in, and fired up the game to check all the LED's. This backglass looks amazing with LED's Pictures and video do not do it justice.

Pulled out the power board to clean it and the cabinet up.

While I had the power board out I cleaned it up and then modified my computer power supply to give me connections for 12V and 5V and mounted it to the power board. I need to install switched power to it still but for now I can run it off the service outlet until I am done working on the game.

Cleaned out the cabinet and put the power board back in. I'm happy with the results for what it is. Smells a hell of a lot better too. I vacuumed a ton of shit out of it and everything had a black coating on it. No more dirty hands working in the cabinet.

Put the playfield into the cabinet and fired it up to see what work I have ahead of me. Also installed the EL wire on the ramp before it went back in.

All my coils work fine in the test. All switches test out fine after some adjusting. Lots of bulbs need adjusting on the inserts. Game wont play either. Press start and it goes into start game mode. But never says ball in play 1. Just stays at 0 and it doesn't pop a ball in the shooter lane. If I put one the game manualy just the saucers will eject the ball. No switches register anything slings/pops and flippers don't work. As soon as the ball drains it immediatly kicks it up to the secondary ball holder that kicks the ball to the shooter lane, but that secondary one doesn't eject the ball its already holding. Not sure what the game is doing. Will take some investigating tomorrow.

Sorry. Decalpaper.com

Clear water slide decals. Very thin and clearing over them levels everything out.

Still need to do the red led lighstrip

I made the game run 100 percent before I tore it down. I will start to read up in clays guides tonight.

Of course! I live over on evergreen ave. I'm sure you know where that it. Right down the road. I have no doubt I will have this running. I'm sure it's something simple

Game works!

I missed a 3rd switch in the ball trough. Switch actuator must of got bent in my tumbler. Bent it up and ball now shoos out and game starts.

Game plays great except I have no left flipper. Looks like a weekend project

Play the hell out of it!

Scan just needs to be stitched together and I will get it out to everyone that had requested it Switches need to be modified too. They aren't always making contact right now. Once they are fixed it will get some good shots of them with instructions

Its alive! Thanks to Robertmee's suggestion I found a bad trace from the flipper relay to header pin 1 on J1. Ran a jumper wire and I have both flippers now. 4 of my neices and nephews came over today for my birthday and played it. They loved it. The music getting faster and faster really gets the little ones pumped.

Game looks great. Going to try and rewire the light strip behind the tube now.

LED strip is done

Before shots

All wired up. With 270 ohm resistors to bring the 6.5 volts down
