On the home stretch. MPU board from Ken is installed with the original Driver board and power supply boards which I have rebuilt. I've added the two fuses for the solenoids and lamp matrix. Displays and master display are working fine. I replaced some of the connectors and headers. The switch matrix connectors are always a pain, so I've repinned them as well.




I have had strange problems with the sound board which were due to the original boards not having the mods done with the 10k, 47K resistors and the bridge between pin 39 and 40 of the PIA. Seems to be much better now !


The backglass needs a little touch up work done. First I have to seal with with triple thick. It looks like the previous owner has attempted this is some sections. Here's the glass after triple thick.





The apron was a mess. So I have repainted it and installed an apron decal from pinball rescue. I gave the apron a clearcoat after applying the decal.





I had a few games on it today - and apart from minor adjustments, it works very well. Looks great as well !











Never ceases to amaze me. Flash plays more like a Bally of it's era, and not a Williams. Underrated game ! Nearly done   ^^^
