Final update;
Playfield was installed into the cabinet a week ago, and after several days of final testing the game is now complete
... well complete except for the non working speech board which i'm hoping i can repair
The game was picked up this morning, minus the speech board as the game doesn't need it to play, i'll fit it at a later date if it can be repaired.
The game has turned out pretty well for a game that was destined to be scrapped for parts if i had bought it when it was originally offered to me! Until Ian put up his hand for it, i had plans of using the boards and parts for a test fixture. As far as i was concerned at the time we got it, it was worthless, with a worn out playfield, dead speech board and no backglass! Thanks again to Nino for selling Ian the playfield that is currently in the game, and saving me from a world of hurt trying to restore the original one!!
It's good though to see it up and running again and playing well. the translite doesn't look as good as a proper backglass, but its way better than no backglass at all (or the painted piece of glass that was in the game when we got it
