Big Update !

I've cleaned or replaced the faulty GI and feature lamp sockets, and tested all the coils etc. Time to plug in the Solenoid Driver Board - and it worked first time. I have a few small issues to attend to, but I'll do that later - just some tarnished connector pins that are causing issues. Next I installed the lamp driver and sound board, with one display. Check all the voltages (especially 5VDC at TP1 on the SD), and then I'm going to TRY the spare altek I have. Great start - it works ! So I can do some testing, but I cannot play a game as I'm waiting on the remainder of the "custom" flipper rebuild kit.

I finished off the playfield, and took a few shots with the flash on and off. I didn't get too adventurous with my photography (like Evro's  ^^^) !

So I will revert back to repairing the original MPU board, which has a faulty 2516 masked ROM. My Eprom Burner arrived yesterday = Perfect Timing !

Here are some pictures - and remember - whatever I can get my hands on that is new - I will. So it looks great because most of the parts are new !
