OK, update time.
(thanks for the kind words guys, good to see a few are having a good drink or dozen before playing the pinnies, i play better after a dozen jim beam n cokes )
Its midnight and we have just put down the tools, for tonight anyway.
We lost a few hours changing out the Dot Matrix display. I had to borrow one from one of my other sega concaves cause the one that came in the machine does not work. Swapping out the dot-matrix was a bit of a nightmare. Nowhere near as easy as doing a bally/williams or even a data east. The way they are screwed in on the Segas is a bit of a time consuming pain to say the least. So, i will have to see mark c about a replacement dot-matrix, cost etc ?
Next, is that i do not speak or read German (unless its Euro porn night
) We need to change the roms to English. Andy will do that really easily since he is well versed in all that stuff.
Next issue, is that there appears to be a few switch issues, which usually are straight forward to clean or fix up.
Next stage, is that the ball snagger device on the playfield does not work. More testing/fault finding here. This can be a major concern cause there are no replacement parts for this issue on this pin , so i am hoping Andy and i can determine what that issue is.
Anyway, we will clean the playfield, change out the bulbs, do the rubber kit, and make her look a treat tomorrow, thats the easy stuff.
Ohhh, the love of pinball.
I am going to bed, its nearly 1am. Snnnnnnrrrrrrrr. More updates tomorrow.
