Hi Millsy,
all covered in the first post Dude.
Will come up nice if I don't drop any more

Before I start, can someone help a fellow freak out with some bare 18 gauge twisted bare wire to re-do the light box lamps please? I will source lamp sockets through RTBB or KJWH, just need about 5 meters me thinks.
here is some pics of the heart break and some of my mates helping me with a BBH de stress.
Also some before and after shots of the lower score motor and relay board.

now some pics of the coin door, apron and the play field nearly done. All which came up sweet as IMO.
Considering this was a real junker I am stoked and happy with progress so far and hoping this old girl will get some love again.
Long way to go though as you can see by previous post

That's some great work so far, but what are your plans for that busted up light board?
If you can get it drawn up, i'm could cut out a new one for you on my cnc for the cost of materials and postage. Not sure that would be economical but if you cant find another solution, im here.

Thanks Dude
thats really cool of you to offer, but, I will do this by stencil first with 4mm MDF then when sweet I will then adhere this to 16mm MDF and duplicate. This will then give the original 20 mm thickness required and allow for fox ups on my behalf.
I am basically going to lay each piece on the new board and use some old spray paint to try and stencil it and then measure, mark, cut and cross my fingers.

You can actually source 20mm mdf from a specialist store (not bunnings). I would make the template from 4mm as you say as a test, then clamp it onto 20mm ans use a straight cut router bit with a bearing and a router to transfer the pattern to the 20mm. It would be nicer to have it made from one piece and not two laminated pieces.

Getting stuck into the report light box at the moment and thought I would mark it out while having a drinky poo! 
maybe not a good idea, but anyway here are a couple of pics
I WILL NOT use power tools while having a drink, so leave cutting for another day

[oldskool1969]

OK, the template was done and drilled ready to transfer to correct size MDF, well fxxk me Bunnings wanted $58 for a piece to suit as it is 680x730 of memory and they wanted me to buy a 1200 x 900 sheet and thy would cut for FREE! pfft.
So using two scrap pieces I put a biscuit join in-between them and glued him solid to the template. B E A U T I F I L L. The money I saved I bought a bottle of Bundy and some pineapple juice, my favourite drink BUNDY SUNRISE 
As you can see it aint pretty, but very practical and by the time I paint and fit the gear, you wouldn't know ( MAYBE )

[oldskool1969]

Started installing the lamp sockets ( thanks Greg RTBB ) and marking the fixed wiring which Ralph has offered for me to use, hopefully pick up this Monday from him.
such a long and tedious process and hopefully when soldering I don't burn the paint/wood too much-any tips?

Awesome job in true backyarder style
