So I brought home my Cyclone the other day; couldn't be happier with it. Looks like it was fairly well taken care of. I posted a couple of pictures so far (other ones didn't come out so hot, so I'll try to get better ones later):

In the last picture, I found out the reason that the left slingshot wasn't working. That and a couple of small issues arose that I have to take care of:
1. Regarding the left slingshot, I thought it was just a broken wire. Soldered it back on, turned the game on, ran the coil test, and cue the smoke! I'm now guessing that the wire didn't break so much as someone cut it. Going to have to try to figure that one out. No diode present on either slingshot coil, so I'm guessing maybe a bad transistor?
2. When doing the "all lamps" test, a bunch of lights on the right side of the backbox aren't lighting. That will take some investigating.
3. The "advance" service button doesn't seem to work; swtich itself feels funky. Looks like I need to replace the swtich itself.
Playfield has a lot of ball swirl and some wear areas down to the wood. I'll post some pictures of that later.
