Cool!

Looking forward to some before and after clean-up pics.

You could tell by that video he knew absolutely nothing.  It's weird to us, but you have to remember that most punters wouldn't have a clue.

Only ball missing is the captive ball...

the coil fires a ball out to play in the test mode...so guessing it maybe a switch

Got the ball to kickout...was a switch,,,,just needed an adjust...

The relay to turn on the bottom playfield and bottom flipper is playing up....
Is buzzing and when it buzzes the top flippers jump like crazy...
The relay is stuffed...or maybe a bad solder joint on the relay board...will re-flow the solder on the board and see if that fixes it...I think once that is sorted it will play fine..

One 7 digit display is flickering and playing up....and the player 4 display works fine but it is a 6 digit display...

Wotto had a look at it and thought it would clean up alright...it is very dirty..

Paul conveniently failed to mention that when I 'touched' Elektra .....it started working  *)*
Paul conveniently failed to mention that I kicked his arse on HH today.

Putting that aside for a moment.....

This Elektra could be a really good project and would come up pretty bloody nice actually.
Needs some tender lovin care and the upper playfield needs a little touching up in spots.

The backglass is A FRICKIN 1  ^^^

While you have the soldering iron hot, give the first few header pins on each end of the display a re flow.  Should clear it up.

The credit display "Should" be a 6 digit right?.  So you have 3 x 7 digits and 2 x 6's?

yes thats correct Rod...

Damn looks like the little board with just the Relay on it is shot...
The relay needs to be replaced Im guessing...as It clicks away like crazy,,,and the flippers flip away like crazy in time with it...
