After strenuous testing and double checking everything, I'm proud to post the final update on this machine - which has had a few twist and turns along the way, but I', sure the new owner will be very pleased with the result. It has surpassed my expectations.

First - I needed to address the fact that this game was missing the entire credit unit. Lucky I had another one - so I rebuilt it and placed it in the game.





The spinner was also missing - or the wrong one - I can't remember. So I used the art Wotto did for me a while ago and printed it out on adhesive clear film. This is the only boo boo I made. Inkjet printers don't print white and the spinner is already blue. so it won't look exactly right.





1st Ball Relay coil was toast. I didn't find this until my final checks. So it was replaced





Finished pictures - my only disappointments were the spinner and the coin insert windows don't allow enough light through. These are minor things - the game NEEDS to be in WA before next weekend.. I'm absolutely thrilled with the playability on the machine. Stoked !


























I'm really proud to put my name on this restoration.
