Update
All the parts that previously arrived have been installed - including a new On/Off Switch. The old once was simply too old. All machines I restore or recondition ALWAYS have new power cords installed - that is "a must".
I finished off the MPU and I've been busy repinning connectors - nothing exciting ! The original SD board had plenty of issues to deal with. I ended up replacing three TIP102, CA3081 and 74L154. The 74L154 had an problem whereby the Lower Left thumper was "on" at all times. The coil would burn out and cause issues with the corresponding TIP102. Thats all repaired and the original SD Board and MPU are functioning 100%.
Now I'm up to the flipper rebuild kit - which unfortunately has had a few issues. PBR send me the wrong bushings - so they are to be resent. Marco Spec sent me a "generic" plunger - not the correct size - BUT - It could work ! So I'll get back to that later.
The backglass needs to be sealed with Triple Thick - That's been done - and I have not taken pictures yet, because I was concentrating on getting the process done without distraction - I don't like working on Backglasses !!
The spinner has been painted white, but the paint is not to my liking. It is "soft" after 33 days drying - so maybe the paint coat was too thick ?
I'd say I'm 90% done. Very pleased so far - Pictures to follow tomorrow.
