Thanks Daniel .
Yeah , pretty happy with it, especially being able to play her after all this time and effort that went into this project. Still got a couple of minor faults to track down.
There were a number of firsts for me with this one.
1st time I've done any PF touchups, 1st time I've tried repainting a cab, 1st order from PBR, 1st time I have spent so much money on parts for one game and the most complicated EM I have had to fault find so far.
I was lucky in being able to find a manual and schematic from an Ebay seller in the US , who was actually happy to sell O/S.

I'm now thinking about trying to touch up the backglass (which would be another 1st for me)   #@#

Cheers
Dave

Well, about 15 faults later (I've lost count  %.%) I just played 5 games in a row without something going wrong so I must be getting there  #*#.

Last fault to nut out is why its not awarding a credit when you beat the dealer (all adjustments are set correctly) .
Think I will have to rewire it a bit , the large bell in the cabinet is so LOUD  &&

Good on you Dave - this has been a great thread to follow with cab painting, playfield touch ups and EM electrical woes and fault finding.

You must be very happy and satisfied to be finished - 5 games in a row I'd define as finished!   Thanks for taking time time and effort to document it for us.

Thanks for the feedback Dave, glad you have enjoyed the thread.
Yes, I have great sense of satisfaction to have this game working and looking so good.
As I've probably said earlier, this project was a major challenge for me , and I haven't had an EM with so many faults before either.
It was a huge exercise in patience and persistance , given I picked this game up in April '09 and have wanted to play it since then.

I'm looking forward to starting on my next project (the '65 Gottlieb Thor bred)  #*#

Cheers
Dave

Fixed the prob of not awarding credits .. a dirty and out of adjustment switch on the score motor.  #*#
A little bit more fine tuning and this game will be running sweet  ()

Have to say this is a fantastic game to play, so much happening .. I LOVE IT . It was worth every minute and every cent I've put into it.  $#$

Will never sell it ! .. end of rave
