Been a bit behind on keeping this shop log updated but been very busy quietly working away and she is almost, very nearly done and I'm so pleased with how this one is coming along
So I finally got round to cleaning/polishing the ramp saucer and kicker mechs and installing them.
All plastics and hardware cleaned/polished. Installed new decals on the drop target metal guide, the ramps and both kicking targets. Brand new ramps installed along with everything else. I'm not one for colour-bombing games but I had to go for pink in the bumpers as a tribute to the old pink ramps.
Flipper and cabinet switches cleaned and polished as well as the shooter rod. Coindoor removed, disassembled and mechs also polished. Still need to clean up the inside of the cab so will take more pictures soon. I also added a bit more card to the cardboard surround for the robot to give it a bit more support as it was all creased and bent, looks a lot better now (from the topside of the playfield anyway)
Still got a few bits here and there but she is playing nicely at the moment.
- I need to clean the rollover switches and gap them properly
- Investigate an occasional issue where the machine will boot up but then the display goes out, oddly it doesn't happen if I remove the bulb in the backbox.
- Investigate the tilt relay as it doesn't fire and the GI bulbs don't flick off/on when they're supposed to, they're on all the time
- I need to order a couple of 4ohm 7watt resistors for under the playfield to replace the blown ones for the left & right ramp flashers
- Install new t-molding around the backbox and clean up the outside of the cabinet
