Fish Tales pop bumpers/GI issue

[s000m]

Hi,

I have performed a playfield swap on my fish tales but need to validate the wiring as my pictures were pretty rubbish.

If anyone can share with me the wiring setup from their GI to the pop bumper lamp holder legs, it would be appreciated.

Here is my setup...

Grey represents the lamp holder legs soldered together from left to right.

Purple: the lamp holders/bulbs.

Green: a GI wire to the left leg of pop bumper 1.

Blue: a GI wire to the right leg of pop bumper 3.

Red: left leg of a solitary GI Bulb to the right leg pop bumper 1/left leg of pop bumper 2.

White: a white wire coming off a wire loom harness into the right leg of pop bumper 1/ left leg of pop bumper 2.

Teal: right leg of a solitary GI Bulb to the right leg of pop bumper 2/ left leg of pop bumper 3.

Yellow: a yellow wire wire coming off a wire loom harness into the right leg of pop bumper 2/ left leg of pop bumper 3.

Never mind appears to be working fine.

looks tasty with the new PF.

having stripped mine to clean and change a few bits, id imagine this was a relatively easy swap compared to others?

Hmm just as time consuming and it's got lots of wire guides which come with their own challenge to install without chipping the playfield.

Deceptive tbh I did think it would be easier.

I did a pf swap on my fish tales a while back. It’s a good looking pf. Definitely be easier the second time!

I didn’t have a rotisserie which is certainly something that would have made it a lot easier. Instead I hung them both from my workshop ceiling side by side and was able to move most across like for like. Got a bit hairy at times but lots of pics and taking my time helped.

I’d be a lot more confident doing another machine.

Yeah it's my 3rd swap this year. I really need a rotisserie as working from saw benches is a pita.

And me, which was the cheapest and quickest I could make as I had everything bar the lazy Susan’s laying around.
Left over joists from my pinroom and the angle steel was in my garage when I moved in 22 years ago!
