F-14 Tomcat (What did I learn?.....just about everything)

So I knew nothing when I bought it. Didn't even know there were supposed to be lights on top!

I had never soldered in my life....didn't even own one. So I learned about that.....even started replacing components on the boards (TIP 122's!!!).

Tought myself how to read a wiring schematic and how to use a digital multimeter. I had zero technical/electronic background. Everything was brand new to me. Completely striped the playfield and put it back together. Tracked down a new motor for the light on top but then could not find any rubber belts that were used to make it spin......ended up finding a John Deere belt that fit.
