One item that's very important with NF also, just thought about it as I was discussing NF with a customer of mine..
The game *needs* at least the 2.0 CPU ROM. If you don't have one, don't use the game much until you get one. I'm sure Beaky can set you up.
Starting with rev 2.0, the game checks the ramp magnet optos when the game starts to verify none are 'stuck' - if they are disabled, it pops up an error and they stay disabled until the optos test good again etc.
I've noticed on a LOT of NFs that the main ramp is melted. If the game sees the optos 'closed', it turns the magnet on. If it never sees the optos 'open', the magnet doesn't shut off, and the ramp melts.
My NF has an unmelted main ramp. I 'upgraded' a couple years ago, a friend has connections with all the distributors in this area and when they get a pin in, they call him to sell it first. He got the one I upgraded to like 7 or 8 years ago and had been sitting on it, and a HUO one came in. I sold mine and added $400 to buy the one I have now, was worth that to me to not have to decal the cabinet. But, I still think I'm going to get a new set when I actually restore it.
