Well the Mad Amusement order still no show  *!@ but he did finally get back to me, saying he had problems with his email system  (((

Ive replaced some lamp holders (took a few hours)


Once I did that I installed the rest of the LED's and wanted to see how they were looking.
I turned the machine on was all looking good then all of a sudden FIRE WORKS !! came from the back box  ^&^
Quickly turned off the machine and I found this on the CPU board:



I had a think for a while what could have caused this and had a look in the manual.
The manual says they are for the 4 bumpers and thats where my problem was  &^&
Some how when looking at the photos I got the wires around the wrong way  @.@  lol
So ive fixed that now and on to fixing the board  !@)

Ive managed to get the same TIP122 transistors, but the 2N4401 transistors next to them seem to be harder to find *!@
I have some PN100 transistors here, will they do the job ?
Ive looked then up and says they can be used as a replacement: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZT2283
