Not sure if this is forbidden or not since bumper is now dead and buried,   I still cringe at this video but oh well

I remember seeing this vid at the time it was posted and always wondered if it was an actual working machine after all that was done to it??
Didn't like it btw but the hot babes were the saving grace for me!!

Yeah Mitch all the games were still fully playable,    The playboy ended up being stripped of the fur and painted back to original but the bar and the screen door remained

Good for her!


Guys/ladies, i asked my tech mate Neil to point to me the simplest way to replace the drop targets on Sorcerer in anticipation of the new ones arriving on the weekend but we saw a squirrel (nowhere near as distracting as the one above) and he forgot.


Targets turned up today, but do i need to pull the entire mech out, or is there a simple way to get at them?


Can lift the bonnet and take a pic if needed.

Let me know if you need another?


It sort of looks to me that if i undpo the 4 screws holding the bottom bracket that stops them falling out i may get enough angle to slide the targets out past the switches?

All good, i forged ahead and that's got them out, all i have to do is try and reattach the tiny springs i can't even see.

got them in but now the topmost drop is not triggering the reset music, timer etc although the others are. Have i bumped or bent a switch or some such? Was full of confidence too.

Found it, my big fat fingers broke a solder joint where the resistor or capacitor or whatever it is bridges across the switch.

Thanks, well i sort of got it sorted. the bottom target now takes a couple of goes to reset properly which is affecting gameplay. I don't know what's causing that, whether it's a switch adjustment (i don't think so coase it works, just doesn't stick up first go) or more likely is there is some kind of screw adjustment or something. I think i'll have to wait till Neil's here one day so he can show me what to do to fix it.
