Time for a BIG update;
Been pretty busy with this game on and off for the last few weeks, in between other jobs.
Some reassembly pics; after the mylar was done, the posts were all cleaned and refitted after the mylar had been cut where they bolt down, otherwise the mylar would lift and bubble up around the posts, I’ve covered this in other resto threads so I wont go into a lot of detail here.
In these pics, I’m disassembling the head mechanism for cleaning and checking. I checked all of the switches thoroughly, resoldered the lamp sockets and connectors etc and replaced the lamps. The three rollers that the head rotates on (on the right in the 3rd pic) were all seized, gummed up with grease so they were taken off and cleaned and degreased before being reassembled with a couple of drops of 3 in 1 oil so the would spin nicely.
Last pic showing some of the parts starting to go back on, bumper top side parts all refitted, plus rubbers and posts etc in that area.
