Ok i have finished the restore i was a bit premature with the no errors part i tested every switch and found that three switches were registering as opto 4 on the bookcase backtracked what i had done and discovered i had incorrectly wired one of the switches on the new main ramp .
Also once the machine was installed in the cabinet the ball kept getting stuck in the subway where it joins the swamp the wire gate in the subway was fouling on one of the swamp mounting screws checked my photos and found that it was originally a flat headed screw changed the screw to original and now all good.
Would like to thank everyone that helped with advice on my first restore, especially Eltimbo who suffered all my questions on what paint to use .
As a noob i learnt a hell of a lot and in all honesty without the support of this forum i probably would not have attempted it, but knowing that help was at hand if needed was great.
I am already looking for my next machine to restore not sure what machine but definitely looking.
I am really impressed with the LEDS what a difference they make unbelievable, in the future i will replace the translite as it has a few holes in it that aren't that noticeable unless you know where to look .
My aim was to try and bring this machine back to as new as possible so a lot of new parts have been installed , i doubt whether i would recoup what i have spent on the machine but hey ive learnt a shitload had a lot of fun and its a keeper.
Just have to learn how to play it again.
A few before and after pics
Cheers
