Thanks boys :)
Marty the worst thing about parting out the Volley was that over the years of carrying those parts around and having no interest in EMs they inadvertently ended up in land fill at Menai tip (of course if eBay was around back then I probably would have sold them.)
Andrew you definitely raise some interesting points, I think it's inevitable that pinballs too will be consumed by digital emulation and the hobby as we experience it today will die out. There will be no need for the traditional mechanical & electronics skills we all posses, the new hobbyists will be experts in Javascript or whatever the new software programming language will be. To us it seems bad however the new generation will look at it with the same excitement we look at the hobby in it's current form.
