I love it a pinball nut who isnt scared to throw plenty of Coin at a classic thi sone should be around for generations to come.  A+ so far marty


This one hasn't been to bad on budget (this far).  On average I spend between $300 to $1000 depending on how much needs to be done.  On the last couple I've replaced DMD's which eats into costs a lot.

I am doing well thus far, assuming I can get my CPU to boot (probably late next week when GPE package arrives)
(we won't count my Fluke!  shh having to hide that one from the missus!)

I will have to get around 3-4 coils for this.  Wasn't expecting this but noticed the solder lugs have broken off the plastic.  I don't think gluing them back on would be sufficient? (copper still attached).



Good start, Marty.

I've tried another method of removing siderails that I used on the Galaxy, which was successful - but Sterns used slightly shorter nails, so that may explain why it was so easy.

I tried the paint scraper under the rail and it doesn't work, heads are in too tight to use pliers, so last option may be to drill them out?

Looking good Marty!!

Thanks Dean.  Your advise has been of most help!  I cannot wait to play my first Sys80.
