3 CFTBL. Mine is going to get unhappy if she has competition. 
Who else is bringing one?
Started work on Apollo 13 yesterday as I was too ill to work on the house. I spent 3 hours tracing a very odd switch error where half the row worked, all switches seemed to work and they all had continuity. I finally spotted that the slingshot showed signs of repair and the wires were incorrect. Five minutes of soldering later and those switches were fixed.
Now to find out how to sort the magnet in the moon out or we are not going to the moon.

To get you started. There is a remote single chip driver board at the flipper end of the underside. That's normally short circuit. It may be that changing it will be enough. There's a fuse down there too somewhere that will need replacing. The transistor is driven on by the light circuits via the lamp board with the 8 segment led display on.
Thanks Andy, found the board and the Irl540 transistor appears shorted. The pdb looks a bit hacked too but appears to be working. I will double check and then order the transistors.
Seafront Travelodge is where all the cool kids are staying

I'm planning on leaving my car at the venue and sharing a taxi to and from the seafront, means I can have a shandy!

I know cross-forum posts aren't appreciated, but equally I think its only fair to highlight to my pin buddies that the prize for this years slam is getting re-decalling and will be tip-top and salivatingly good and you might like to read its restoration process. If not - dont click the link ffs! http://www.ukvac.com/forum/south-coast-slam-14-ij-prize-restore_topic337445.html
Great coverage Rav, with a good dollop of humour along the way. Not sure I would usually want to see Tatty Adams give Dr Jones a blow job but in this case it was very informative.
That's gonna be mine
i agree Rudi, it will be yours - after i win it and sell you it as i don't like the game
You could trade it him for his Shadow.

Now we're talkin.
Seafront Travelodge is where all the cool kids are staying
Booked Friday & Saturday
see you there bringing your lad?
so what are people doing with their vans ect once machines have been dropped off?
Yep Dan coming, wants to beat dad again in the comp!
Are you hiring a van? Any room and fancy a detour and share costs.
I am but your like a 2 hour atleast detour lol gonna get a lil transit or something
The vans go off on their own night out, drinking loads of diesel if I remember right.
theres allways one
, I ment do you leave them at the venue or take em back to the travel lodge
Dependts if you have had any beer.
Best is to leave at the venue as parking near the Travelodge will be near immpossible. Team up with someone staying at the Travelodge for a lift there and back. Usual thing that happens is about twenty bodies climb into the back of a Transit at the venue and fall out at the hotel a little shaken but in one piece.
