Very good thread - love the photo's that match the happy/sad moments 

"Taking her first steps" -  LMAO
Great to see a pinball restore taking over the lounge room as well 

Looks sensational so far.

PLEASE tell me more about that sub-speaker you have installed ( price too )
The sound is one area of my FH I would LOVE to get "clearer" as Rudy is known to mumble a bit - does it clean up the sound in any way OR just make the mumbles 'boomier' 

To be honest Wotto, i dont know how much CLEARER the sound is, as i think the sound samples are the main setback when it comes to quality. The speaker that i had in there was just shot to pieces, in that it crackled and was the wrong ohmage for the machine (poor hack job). This site http://www.dziedzic.us/wpc_speaker_sound_info.html was a great resource, and i replaced the cabinet speaker with a 6" jaycar response speaker rated at 8 Ohms. To quote the site mentioned previously - "Unless otherwise directed, choose a replacement speaker that has the same impedance as the original. With a few exceptions, all of the speakers used in Bally / Williams WPC-era games are 4 ohms impedance; the exceptions are the early games (Funhouse, Gilligan's Island, Harley Davidson, Party Zone, and The Machine: Bride of Pinbot) that used 8 ohm speakers".

The sound still sounds like a low sample-rate sound should sound, but you can dial the speakers right up without any crackling/bottoming out. There is also a more noticable bass-line in the game music. The best part is that the speakers only cost me 20 dollars each (or there abouts). Definetely cheaper than some of the other options out there at the moment. I would be really interested to see how these went on a DCS game, as the sample rate of the sounds is much better...

Sorry i cant be of much help...
