Thanks to cottonm4 , I have begun creating my own Star Gazer. I asked in a FB repair post a few weeks ago what are the best tips when someone is creating a playfield from scratch, and someone replied with "I'm wasting my time, because me asking questions like that shows how I shouldn't be working on games".
Well, those words have driven me to where I got so far in this project. I'm in the club!!!

Tested GI last night, lights work without fuse blowing !

I dont think I made a post in here yet, but this is the 2nd star gazer playfield I have built/wired up. Very close to the finishing line, still have the wild fyre cabinet to stencil, and wire up the coils/Install flippers. Started with the insert lights (purple wire) then matrix. Green is column, yellow is row...Wire management has improved, but not 'perfect'...don't think that part will ever be ..but it works!
