Quoted from Nikrox2:Started to plug this one in, then looked closer. A lil duct tape and she’ll be fine.

Especially watch out for the knot, that will definitely restrict the flow.

Quoted from Andy_B:Just pulled the boards from my Firepower project and have to admit I haven't seen this one before.

Gives the new meaning to “plug and play”
Quoted from dudah:Family friend finally let me come over to fix up his games, I can see why the flipper wasn't working. Never seen a sleeve melted so bad, looked pretty cool

Wow!

Display is fine, phone camera just doesn't like the scan rate. Vacuumed up most of the glass. There were a few things that seemed oddly loose or out of place on the playfield, which is a bit odd because playfield seemed mostly untouched. Could've had things come loose just as a result of show use, not really going to worry about that right now.
The most important thing is, somehow the insert panel managed to support the weight of the entire machine (without damaging the bulbs???) and the electronics are fine. After taking this photo, I turned the volume down to pre-convention levels and played a full game with minimal troubles. It's definitely not pretty, but the parts that matter have survived. I keep reminding myself that this was always one of my worst cabinets and I'd had restoration on my mind for a long time.
Am considering throwing on some brackets and a stupid-looking printout of the backglass just to get this thing marginally good enough to join the other three games going to a local convention this coming weekend.
At least it has good ventilation.
