That's the power bus not the ground wire just FYI, and it's standard.
The ground braid is in the cabinet/head.

Good luck! I'll be doing a PF swap when I get some free time myself

So it seems your CPR came with a dimple for the Kirk post? Mine didn't.

Quoted from JLay:

I assume this is the center post?

Sorry yes, 'Kirk post' = center post.

That's why I was asking, mine isn't dimpled at all. Either way I guess it's a leap of faith...without playing it it's impossible to tell where it would work the best as they are usually not dead center

Quoted from 29REO:

Well that’s counterintuitive

I know right!

Take a look at the OPs machine, looks to be leaning towards the right side.
His CPR versions looks to be over to the left

If it works it works...but you wont know till it's in there.

Right...and now compare to the CPR dimple!

Quoted from JLay:

disappointed in the amount of slop compared to the origina...

Yeah they're bad. If you look at the opening you can see it's an oval, not a circle.

#49 2 years ago

Just a nail. I always used those in the outline/apron

Quoted from JLay:

I rejiggered the bus wire...

Sorry if I missed it but you're using all new wire? Where did you get it from?

I do not know, but its time to bite the bullet for all of us and find out

Quoted from JLay:

... drilled out the lowermost hole because this game is hard AF even in the easiest setting,

Ah, so it sounds just like the original

Thanks for all the notes, great to know this stuff before others get started
