Pinball Progress
I am still thinking about how I can systematically engage with this administration without it becoming a full-time job.
So in the mean time, pinball restoration! I moved everything to the new playfield and completed about 200+ solder joints. I fired the thing up, with some trepidation, inserting one fuse, testing, and then another fuse, with the General Illumination fuse first and the solenoid fuse last. After finding just a few shorts, and a few swapped wires, and one drop target where I reversed input and output on the sensors, everything is mostly working. After these photos were taken I get the pop bumpers installed and a few other details like the coil that puts the ball in play. Next up siderails and all the playfield details. I still have not cleaned up the huge 7 drop target monstrosity that is really the core of the game.
