I'm generally a very respectful and greatful kind of person, and appreciate when people offer help. That also goes for your help so far Damien. However, comments such as can't polish a turd for instance have no place to be honest, it's offensive.

I agree with your last post, and in case you hadn't noticed, I am researching and learning.

Once the wiring is sorted, playfield rebuilt and game running, will it still be a turd then?

In the month I've had this machine and with some research and help from forum members, I've rebuilt the rectifier board, fixed the SDB and identified the wiring issues that require fixing.... I think I'm doing OK
