Thanks for the positive words guys

As mentioned previously I had to replace a few connectors, I’ll add the pics now  :D

J121 had been hacked at some stage, and when I was done doing the power driver board upgrades I replaced the J121 connector.
Also I replaced a couple of the switch connectors to the MPU board as I had tracked down some intermittent switch issues to these connectors, so once again I pissed of the IDC type connectors in favour of crimp connectors. All other connector seemed fine so they were left alone.

Another thing that was necessary was to repair the disappearing post that holds the ball(s) on the left wire ramp. The coil mounting bracket which is also the guide for the top of the post itself was totally worn out where the post goes through. And here is a pic of how I decided to repair it (3rd pic). I simply cut the worn top section of the bracket off completely, and fabricated a new piece that screws into the playfield. The post now works properly with no side to side movement of the post itself, and works much better than it did before! The new metal piece is thicker metal than the original bracket material so should last longer.

All of this was done over a week ago, but I neglected to get some pics when I actually did the work, hence why I’m adding them now #@#

And this afternoon I printed up some new instruction/pricing cards, and added mylar over them for added protection.
