Small job now completed (big thanks to El_Timbo).

One of the issues with a NOS playfield is what holes are drilled and what isn't.  I forgot all about the holes for the pop bumper brackets.

Holes drilled



Countersinking done

Decal day today.  Its been that long I forgot how much fun  !*! they are to put on.

Top tip I've learnt was from I think Robm here and his youtube video.  The torch works a treat to help line everything up!

In the 12+ months the boards were out of the machine, cap C11 decided to finish up his/her duties with the driver board team and left.

For my own machines I normally replace them anyhow.  But I actually think this is the first one which has let go for me.
It was sitting on a towel (upside down) in my pinball parts emporium (aka formal lounge room) and the only reason I noticed it was the puke stain on the towel, which is now a rag.

Bit more progress today.... Other boards checked and mounted.  I've gone with the Anypin NVRam on this one.



The driver board has had the caps and BR's replaced.  There had been some previous rather rough work done so I'll double check the traces and jumper where necessary.
