Did a few jobs today.
1) Fitted the hinges and back light board.
2) Wired the flipper button LEDs after reconfiguring the wiring on the board that had a free space for a two pin plug.
3) Extra ball switch wired, the bulb I will add later once I get the correct colour wires or close to as possible.

With the playfield alongside the cabinet, it was time to switch on and hope for no coil lock on or even worse smoke.
To our surprise it came on with no bang !!
We Spent the day fixing a few jobs on the playfield, nearly all was my thought.
1) Switch on one of the pop bumpers had to be swapped around.
2) bookcase opto lower was wired back to front.
3) ball got stuck in the subway, wrong screw used.
4) 4 leds needed refitting.
5) levelled the bookcase flush with the playfield.
6) in single lamp test, more than one light would come on. We checked all the diodes but it turned out to be a dodgy new socket.
With all this now fixed it’s ready to go in the cabinet next Thursday when I return from a break away.
And this took all bloody day. Beer, bath and painkillers in that order.

Playfield is now back in the cabinet.
We opted to plug the playfield in before lifting it into the cabinet, we also took the legs off the cabinet keeping it low to the ground to make it easier for the lift in. As you can see from the photos, it went well.
Apart from tightening the left flipper bat the testing is going well.

After playing for a few hours yesterday and a couple of games this morning. It plays lovely.
With only the serial numbers stickers to put on I will mark this as complete.
Thank you for following this log.
Not sure which game to do next, I may revisit the WH20 which I did the cabinet on, it just needs the loom cleaned and the zinc plating done to make that totally nice.

Thank you most appreciated. It was a very slow restoration with life challenges. 5 months. Weather didn’t help when I needed to spray the cabinets outside.Couple of the greats in full glory
