Yes cameron is my boss. ive watched him restore a few pins now and just couldn't resist getting one of my own. Put another coat of triple thick on the back glass yesterday so it should be well sealed now. Most of the flakes coming of the backglass pressed back down alright. Will have pictures soon.

The lights in the headbox will either be a fuse or the connector in the head - there are three of them, so check for loose wires. You can clean the connectors by using a wire brush on the the contacts.

When you switch on the game - does it automatically tilt ?

Ive cleaned all the connectors and tested all the fuses i could find. there were five fuses i could find throughout the machine. Two of them were blow but even after replacing them it didnt solve the problem. As soon as the game is plugged in it seems to tilt i.e not lights scoring on the play field. Checked all tilt mechanisms and they seem fine. Will check all wires to see if some have come loose but none seem to be missing.

Thanks for all the help so far and the kind words guys
