Ok, so where does this part go?

Ok, so the rebuild on the top side of Rocky & Bullwinkle is underway. But first I need to double and triple check that i've got all the holes cut in the playfield protector that I need; nothing is going to be a bigger pain in the backside than getting it put in place, refitting half the posts and then finding i've missed a single hole.

As part of this I needed to check that all the ball guides would go back in place, and therein falls the challenge.

Rocky & Bullwinkle has 10 of the smaller wire guides and I can only find where 9 of them go from my reference photos.

So, dear people. Can anyone else point me in the direction as to where the 10th one goes? Here's the pictures showing the ones i've identified.



And, for information, yes I did miss an absolute tonne of holes somehow. The large ones for assemblies and lamps are pretty obvious but it's easy to miss the ones for posts or partial depth holes like are used for the wire guides.

My R&B has left the building and is with Martin or I'd look for you, but have you checked around the hole to the right of the WABAC ramp?

 

[Wiredworm]

Yeah, checked around there. Can't for the life of me work out where it goes.

Hopefully someone else might have a clue; otherwise it's time to trawl the internet pawing over photos of other peoples games.

Found it with the help of the manual. Interestingly the manual says there's 11 of these 1" wire forms but looking over the manual suggests they later changed one of them and instead used a more substantial piece (near the top right pop bumper).

This is the one i'd missed.

You need to copy a summary of this to your shop log, to paint the compete picture for when you're reading it back in a year or two (when it's finished)

Haha, i've got plans for a summary at the end anyway, if only to make sure I thank all of the lovely people who have helped me out along the way.

As for 'a year or two', i'd like to think it'll be sooner than that. Once the tumbling is done there isn't really anything to stop me moving forward at a fair old rate. I need some more star posts and some rubbers but other than that I should be golden. I'm actually hoping to have it done by the end of the summer.
