Well just an update really..
After a really busy weekend..back down to earth. So a 540 mile round trip up t`north, and now the proud owner of a Stern Spiderman.
Anyone new to the scene make sure you are armed with a few gadgets, for sure. These machines are certainly heavy.. so after scanning the local Facebook for sale adverts
in my hotel room, i came across a cheapish sack barrow, that was just the job for £25.. couldnt of moved it without this..
Unloaded it out of my camper van, which was lucky as i hadnt got round to fixing the rock n roll bed in yet, onto its end and then onto the trolley
for the next day..
Luckily it dawned on me, i purchased a motorcycle lift last year... Just needed to make the height up, which i did with a strong storage crate on top of the platform.
This made it a doddle getting into place.
Put the front legs on, as i had seen on a You Tube vid, and then lifted the back onto i chair for a breather. Then the Mrs fitted the final two legs while
i `Hulked` out and lifted the rear end up..lol..
In with the lift couple of pumps up, and into position nicely... ooooh we are in !
So with a house full of visiting family members at he time...wow what fun we had... Spiderman is a great game for sure, especially when its multiball feature
i have never heard so many shouts and screams of laughter ! money well invested in my book....
So the machine is functioning well.. done my first fix yesterday when found out the middle flipper coil thingy had fallen off, found the two bolts inside the cabinet
so simple job with an 8mm socket screwdriver... Had a clean up of the glass while i was there and a clean up of the ramps as they were quite dirty, plays a lot better now
It needs a new set of rubbers, all over, and a damn good clean up in the hard to reach bits, but i cant see being too long before i `shop` it all over
Oh and after paying @James Star Trek i REALLY need a shaker in my life
I love taking things to bits and restoring them..! will be looking for some tips nearer that time, so it all goes back together..
and Hey NEW high score last night........ not too bad for a newbie ??
