Gees !!!!

Its been a while since I posted here and was about the last time I worked on this.

Time to get back to it and finish it off  #@#

I bought a proper trolley the other day from a guy in Hallam:

make life so much easier, I can now work on it at different heights and move it around with ease.

Things that still need to be done:

1. Some touch ups on the head box (need to learn how to mix colours lol)
2. Fix & Paint R2D2's head (Cracks in plastic & Chrome was very pitted / chipped)
3. Work to the circuit boards (Reheat solder joints & replace whats needed)
4. The left slingshot not working (I think this is due to the board work I did earlier ?)
5. Adjust the Death Star drop target, may need a new motor ?
6. New speakers (8" speaker is ripped & head box speakers are rusty)
7. New decal set
8. Install new ROM (20th Anniversary)

I think that's it  !@#

Anyway looking forward to finishing this and being able to play it again !!
