Moving my first pin upstairs - harder than I imagined!

If the volume doesn't go below 8 (I think it's 8)you might need to go into settings and fin min volume override.

Yeah, I had a quick look at the settings and noticed that there. I'll tweak it accordingly. It's a great machine.

Awesome news, glad you got that first barrier to playing completed.

We all knew you could do it, nothing will stop you now…doing your own pinball repairs.
Merry Christmas

I noticed on the early pic you posted that a couple of connectors had been replaced in the bottom left corner of the big board in the backbox. This is good as these are always the ones that have problems and burn. It looks to have been done well with crimp connectors and new housings so previous owner looks to have known what they were doing or it has been repaired in the past by somebody who knows what they were doing. Hopefully a good omen for future but pinball machines do go wrong so just get on here again when it does.

Where in the North East are you? Just seen this or I could have helped out. Most of the connectors only fit back in one place so it's easier than it looks

Just noticed your post. Happy to see that you have managed to move it where you want it to be. Id reply earlier but got really bad man-flu.

Hope the machine will serve you well.

Yup. Machine was refurbed by me prior sale. Clear coated, cab fixed, polished and all boards redone etc.

Ill allow myself to post some photos

Really happy to see how the new owner enjoys it.

Always fancied a T2 - bit short of space these ATM though.

"Operator bodges" - I refrained from doing so with the frequent casualty, the General Illumination input connector, on a T2 in fact. The first person it would've bitten would've been me, since the head had to be detached to get in to the boozer where it was, and then again to get out.

This was also the occasion where a collector* arrived while the repair was in progress, and even though the backbox was open, the display lying downwards on the playfield glass, with a large vacant gap edged with loose connectors, she went over and switched it on. Why did she think I'd said 'I've got the coin meters written down'?. Even 'It won't work with a circuit board missing' gained no response, so after she'd gone off in a huff (and her f**d broomstick) I 'phoned the numbers in.

* not the kind of collector usually referred to nowadays, but someone who'd drive around a selection of the operator's locations each working day, tallying the takings and changing jukebox CD's or 7" records (which were still just about viable then).

Typical operator hack on the Diner I am just finishing up. Before and after I had sorted out properly. Wires were so stretched to reach the connector I had to extend. No chock blocks for me.
