Finally it is all back together and I have only 1 fault  #*# switch wire missing in the mid play field.
Also had to do some small adjustments, as you do. This machine has jumper bumpers( just like EATPM ) and  was wondering why they were not strong.
I bought new 23-800 coils and sleeves, even this didn't work. I did the usual clean the spoon, new skirts, polish the rings and check switch gap-nothing. While thinking about it at night, about to fall asleep, it dawned on me, bloody colour changing lamps, these are slightly bigger than your 44/47 and yep it was these little buggers. Pulled off the caps and layed them flat, I could do this as I used flexible lamp leads when re-building the Pops. Eureka, pops like a bloody demon and adds so much more enjoyment to the game when all work very well.
I am now just going to show random art and a few bits including me and my glitter again on the BALLY sign in head box. I have also put in a LED flipper kit left over from an ELVIS I shopped out and also added a small button under the coin slot to simulate a coin drop, some games have some cool sound/ display effects on them and I intend to do this on ALL my machines- one day. Got this idea from Elkor-ailish ( Mark ) on the forum and I loved it.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
