Complete Such A Wide Boy..1980 Bally Space Invaders

[Solar Sailer]

Displays are all back with updated ICs.
I went for cool white rather than Amber.

I've got a sound board from Jim to install, but learnt to do one area at a time. Test. Then move on!
Just waiting on the replacement flicker eliminator to arrive.
Then just the flippers to sort out

So outstanding Comets are somewhere in a post bag somewhere.
I still have the stack switches to replace on the main flippers. They came in 3 days from Pinball NL along with a new coil as I had one flipper machine gunning.

Replaced sound board with one of Jim's @myPinballs wow. Sound is great and rattles the coin box.

Replacement antil flicker mod in and all bulbs are as they should.

Displays are back from Gianafri and changed them so the dot is not on the scores.

Switches tweaked and new ball installed.

Replaced the power cable with a 5m lead with an inline break socket.
New plug!

Just a few tweaks to go and Comets.

Main flippers need slight adjustment once I find my allen key.

@paddythegreek and @astyy must take some credit as we near the end of this journey too.

Looks great. Glad you like the sound board

Ilusive Comets arrived today so all lighting now correct.
Still a slight flipper adjustment when I find the allen key.
But the glass is on and Ive played a game!
Tilt is a bit sensitive though

Left to do.
Change main flipper switches.
Battery pack, optional to retain high score.
New glass if Group Buy #2 happens.

Final tweaks today with the flippers. Changed out a bulb holder.
Re wired spot lights to a smaller gauge wire.
I'll claim it as complete but getting some new playfield glass in a week or twos time.

Decal in the end. Stencil would have kept the game authentic but at least good now for a few more years.

Got to focus on Haunted House now
