Can't stop looking at the great work, but it also reminds me of many questions I've been meaning to ask. Does the metal plate on the RHS ball return guides of yours only have a hole milled out for the flasher? Whereas the LHS has the flasher and #44 globe present. Mine one is like that and have been always thinking maybe to drill a hole for the RHS #44

I had never even noticed this until you pointed it out :lol  No.  THe #89's (larger ones) are both done, but the #44/#47 on the R/H/S is not.  It would be an easy job to do, but I'm not sure yet.  I ran out of #89 flashers, so the two under the ball returns are still stock.  Soo, another order into RTBB to finalise that.  The T2 is a worthy game for LED's.

Coming along well mate  ^^^

Thats one nice looking T2 Marty !  ^^^
Looking even better all put together again (almost).

Great job.

Thanks guys.  Still not quite up to the standards of the rest of the crew here, but my next project (hopefully a HS2 or Flintstones) I will aim to one better.  From comparing the old old before shots she's come up all right.  I can understand why the commercial guys cannot always do this as the amount of hours that need to go into it would basically right the machine off.  But thats why I like buying projects!

I've been having intermittent problems over the last day.  Still loosing the r/h/s GI lighting and intermittant problems with some coils / motors (ie ball return & gun motor).  I pulled out the PCB and tested all the pins / tracks, TIP's and so forth as per Marvins guide.  One of the header pin banks has been repaired but everything buzzed out ok.  The yellow wires from transformer to molex was also listed as sometimes causing GI problems.  I've reseated this a few times and problem as gone away again.  I will keep an eye on it.

My cheap pinballpro speaker kit arrived today as well.  Not a bad kit at all, went in very easy and definately made a big improvement with sound.  I can see on a GNR pin would be very worthwhile!

Once the ramps go back in, I'll be pumped for a game.

At this stage the mylar is covering 100% of the playfield.  I have not cut around posts at all.  From reading RGP etc the main theme was NOT to overtighten or do up with power tools.  All posts are just nipped - finger tight.  I think the main ones of concern are the plastic posts on the slings.  These can be cut around if necessary, but again are not super tight.  I'm certainly open to ideas/thoughts on this.
