The 'day 9' figure is a bit misleading. It's not really 'day 9' in the sense that I've been working on the game a bit here and a bit there, but I'm running this project, so I'll call it day 9 :)

I've ordered a lot of parts in the last month. Lots of parts. I also got sidetracked on a couple other non-pin projects. Parts are rolling in, though. Cab decals are here. Speakers are due today. Game specific stuff for rebuilding the coffin are on the way.

I documented the way the ramps are populated, as the parts that are going to be moved to the new ramps need to be cleaned and detailed.



Lots of pictures are snapped of each ramp and how the protectors, wiring harnesses, etc are oriented, then I take a picture of the misc hardware before I clean it up.





Here are the leaf switches I tumbled. Took 24 hours to make them look like new!



The spider mech in the backbox wasn't working, so I decided to pull it out and have a look.



Disassembled the motor completely - this motor is also used in the who dunnit slot machine and often fills up with metal shavings, then a good cleaning will make them work again. The motor is clean. Matter of fact, looks *new*. Now, I have to trace the fault out elsewhere.

One of the first 'challenges' - there's a plastic piece of artwork over the backbox insert that is quite brittle. This one shattered just by *touching* it. I'm going to have to see if I can get it back in one piece, and looking decent. Luckily, this area is well concealed by the spider once I put it back on the pointer - but it still needs the pieces reinstalled.







At least I have the pieces!
