Hasn't been to exciting for us blues supporters  ^&^

True...but remember before our run of series wins the blues had us on the ropes for a few series as well. I still remember going down to sydney for game 3 in 2000 and the blues and ryan girdler in particular put us to the cleaners for our worst defeat ever.
Next yr is no Locky...so you have a better chance of getting back on par....a smaller chacne but a chance all the same but being a qlder through and through I predict at least 2 more yrs of qld dominance...we haven't even given cherry evans a run yet..anyway back to topic...... #@#

All set up and playing, works very well! The only issue that didn't cure itself during the trip home is the feature lights on the playfield and in the head box. These aren't working, although they were for a short time when I first looked at the game. There are four fuses which are all working (can't tell which are which for three of them as they aren't marked, but all work anyway). Strangeways will see what documentation he can find to assist.

Anyone else able to point me in the right area? I don't have any schematics so if anyone does have some and would be able to share, that would be handy.

Hey mate how tight are the fuse holders?  Try removing the fuse and giving them a squeeze together to tighten them up.  Had a few like that apart from that without a schematic it's a guessing game.
  Good luck

Good idea, thanks Daniel.  I'll give that a go tonight.

+1 Fuse or fuse holder. GI is a very simple circuit on EMs. I'll check with another game tonight.

The "new" King Pin is the unreleased "Kingpin" that was designed by Capcom, and was to be the next game after the also unreleased BBB.

The only thing in common is the similar names.

It's just coincidental that the EM game shares a similar name with the Capcom game I would also like to own. Completely different themes - the Gottlieb is about bowling, the Capcom is a gangster theme.
