From the photo I took it looks like it was originally in the PPB board area of backbox (so bottom left).
Andy, where did you get the blades from for DE? These DEs are a tight fit, may be worth investing or making some side protectors to protect the blades similar to these:-Mirror blades to be fitted (and not before time - I’ve already scraped some of the black paintwork off the inside of the cabinet lifting playfield up and down.

So have you 2 types of leg protectors on one leg ?Cheers. Leg protectors already fitted though I didn’t cut the decal round them I thought the protectors were to stop you needing to trim. I’m not very handy with the craft knife so the less cutting of the decals the better
I know you probably don't want to hear this but the type you have on will cause wrinkles. If this is something that would bother you, then put the metal type on.I have black plastic leg protectors on that are about 5mm larger than the legs all round and about 3mm thick so the legs are well off the cab.
Hi Andy,I’ve spent that much money on the thing that (quite) a few extra quid won’t make much difference so think I will invest (if the damage is not already done) in the metal ones and doing the trimming.
To be honest I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and do some more trimming of the decals around the edges. I fitted them flush to the edges but am finding that I am sometimes catching them (eg. When crawling underneath to turtle the cab so I can put new black feet on!) when they’re flush and I think it’s only a matter of time before they peel away as a result.
Will this thing ever end!
I sorted all the yellow stand ups last night with a bit of “fettling” eve swapped out the two round red targets down the left for yellow ones so have 5 nice new yellow targets in.
Tried some fault finding on the DMD. Tested all voltages on driver board and all good. As I have new color DMD on order I think I will fit that and see if that works and if it does then guess problem is with existing display, rather than driver board (fingers crossed).
Good advice Kev. Cheers. Andy.Hi Andy,
You are always best trimming the decals back 1-2mm from all the edges to stop the catching which is inevitable - as you have found out!!!
If you have any wrinkling around bolts in the cab/backbox etc loosen the bolt of and gently heat the decal and push the wrinkles out - let it cool and nip the bolt back up but dont over tighten.
Cheers
