Back to the VUK - which gets a POUNDING in this game. All orbit shots to the pop bumpers can either be deflected back into the main playfield, or predominantly drain into the VUK. All skillshots plunge into the VUK. All balls during multiball that hit Daleks drain into this VUK. So it has to be rebuilt and working perfectly. Here's what it looked like during teardown ;
It is a VERY well built SOLID mech. Thick gauge steel that will plate well !!
Here is the assembly rebuilt ;
.. and installed - Excuse the wiring - I have a few more components to add !
This game has the most intricate feature - the Time Expander - and therefore needs to be 100% restored to be running perfect. Dr Who is only second to ST TNG in terms of excellent engineering, and when this title is restored to this level, it is one VERY cool game to play !
