Great work Millsy. Interesting to know it was supposed to have a resistor.

Do you have any lights at all on the backglass? Some games have a separate fuse for the backglass lighting.

Going well Millsy,
I agree with dj10555 , interesting to know that it was supposed to have a resistor.
 I've seen 5 watt resistors added to some of the coils on both my GTB's , which I think were added to compensate for a " low resistance " ie: burnt coil.
You've got room for 2 more pins - Gotta get a GTB EM .  *%* hey Tony.

Steve,

Always room for more pins - even some Chicago Coins EMs are cool!

We are all like drug addicts, always looking for another hit  *)*

Hi Tony, Chicago coins. yep.
 I was eyeing off a CC Casino in Sydney on ebay a while back. You would remember the one. I was very keen but didn't go with it. Maybe I should of , you don't see that many come up for sale. the 2 playfield spinning discs looked cool  !@# Is it a cool game?
cheers Steve.

They were fairly poorly made and parts are a bitch to find. The only CC pins that I would give the  ^^^ to are their games from the 60s, not just because I love that era - they actually made some nice games. The pre 65 games even had Roy Parker art.

Steve, that Casino - yeah that would be the pick of their 70s EM pins. That game got offered several times on eBay for a good price until it sold.

Sorry Kev, we have nicked your thread!  #@#

Yeah Tony, I made an offer when it didn't sell 2nd time & got a txt reply on the way to pick up the Hi-Lo Ace.
so I couldn't afford both at the time. But I'm stoked with the Hi Lo Ace, & I still owe you some beers. ( @ your  meet  ^^^)
