ok never ending thread fans, im sorry for the delay but as you could probably understand, i have grown very tired of this machine and couldnt be bothered looking at it until now... so to fill you in

Daniel and his bro came up to sydney for the Rollerball meet and kindly offered to stop by and have a look at the infamous Pro Football. A 40 degree is what i greeted him with when i picked them up from their hotel in the morning. A 30 minute drive and all i could keep thinking was... please dont fix this machine in 3 seconds or im going to look like a right tool!

So we arrived at my place and Daniel got stuck in... It was pinball fixing 101 from the get go with all contacts cleaned patiently by the good man. A few relays pulled out and checked/adjusted, a little hack on the score reel...

To cut a long story short, after quite a few HOURS (phew), pro footbal was singing and dancing again which is when we took the photo! woot!!!..

However...

A few minutes later, it stopped working again (i have subsequently checked and nothing from the playfield is in contact with anything underneath. Too sad... Then of course Tony arrives and whisks Daniel away so we could get to Pauls place later on that night  !!!

So kind of happy that it wasnt something stupidly simple that i have overlooked but unhappy cause ive still got a non functioning Pro Football.

5 mins ago, i fired it up and nothing (at least the motor stopped running...) I hit a vari target with my finger, the 1000 and 10000 score reel move up to 11,000 and stops... omg this machine is going to kill me!!!!
