drop banks fixed but 2 targets permanently made. testing the harness unplugged shows normal behaviour so it's the opto boards.
also made this this evening.
but where's the 12v feed to tap into in the back box??
now have triple living drop targets too so guess I'll have to shim the ledge that they sit on.

@Wayne J You're always welcome Wayne.
Its pretty much there now. I'd like some Romans PDI glass for it and 2 drop targets show as always on leading to the rather loud triple reset for the drop targets.
My highest so far is 70 million. I do have the cities set on easy however and replays set to extra ball. <---- such a noob
@stoptap if you're in the area (nuneaton) J21M1, J3 M6 you are welcome to comen take her for a spin. I personally am very happy with the results of LED and Mirror blades on WPT. I think it gives the Glitzy feel of a casino better than the incandescents... and the mirror blades increase that yet further.

Red or colour DMD also....
This is the game I am going to try the PinballSP colour LED display on.
What is your highest score on it Wayne ?
ps
Really enjoyed your Metallica at the show.
Thanks Neil. Likewise if you are ever up this way give me a shout and you can come bash my balls around for a while.
High score currently is 525mil, everything on factory settings.
Cripes. I better bet some practice in. I'm currently at about 130mil.
What is your strategy ?
Start a mode, then start multiballs,
You've got :
All-In from shooting the spinners,
Ace In the Hole from the Captive Ball,
No Limit from the stand up target then main lock,
Poker Hands from completing drop target hands
Then there's the mini wizard for starting all 6 modes
If you can start one of the modes which doesn't involve the drop targets (Chip and a Chair, and Know Your Outs) then start a multiball the points can be ridiculously high, pretty certain I've had over 30 mil of each of the other modes.
Chip Tricks also pay well and give a mini hurry up type reward when all completed.
If not in multiball keep alternating ramps, those points can rack up quickly for completing hands.
NEVER try and shoot drop targets out of multiball, UNLESS, you are just 1 card away from completing the last hand.
The 3x multiplier from the inlane I only ever use when I am about to complete the last card of a hand, ideally the hand that wins you the tournament. That can be worth HUGE points as well.
Assuming that the Hospital gives the OK for @strobey to be able to live feed my record attempt I will be trying to give a Bowen style tutorial
But you'll be able to see all of the outtakes live and unedited, and there'll be a lot less trapping the ball, probably more swearing as well.

Wayne, you need to write a rulesheet for PAPA.
also, as i know you're gonna be streaming your world record attempt, i'd like to make a request that you describe for the camera the main rules, maybe every hour or every 2 hours, on the hour? that sounds like a chore but i expect that regular mile-markers like this are what's gonna get you through your attempt. i'm looking forward to watching some of it.
