We should start a thread “look what I found in my coin box/behind my coin door”
All the stuff like new plastic kits, decals mods and more in the machine/coin box
BM66 - I have all the Hallmark figures for playfield, all the Topps cards for the apron.. so much random stuff in them.

I was asked fix this Funhouse scoop that has the usual broken spot welds. It’s now ready to go back in and should be good for another 30+ years now

Today I decided to light up TWD Premium Bicycle Girl head that normal dwells in complete darkness.
1 warm white trough lighting kit, shrink tubing on half the lighting strip & the cable.
Wires feed neatly down where the ramp actuator comes up. Clip (or solder) onto GI lamp under playfield (white GI as Red dims during Bicycle girl mode)
Looks very neat, shrink sleeve hides the cable nicely.

Certainly makes a difference as didnt even know there was a head under there.
Fingers now sore after all that crimping, with sooo much more to do!! Made all the more difficult by the fact that (as far as i can see) there is Zero documentation on the cabling between boards on Sys11's. We were spoiled by the manuals on WPC and onwards as all the cabling was detailed in the manual... Sys11 it is a case of comparing cct diagrams of one board vs cct diagrams of the next... so much more time consuming!
(all the Red boards are Dumbass's boards - the two Green ones are originals).
Still waiting on topper nad currently dying with man flu but managed to do a little more on Elvira as armour turned up.
My new coater has done a cracking job!
Old standard black finish sandblasted off then sparkle powder coat with hard wearing lacquer on top.
Red washers and red rubber feet c/o Retro Dave and a set of my very own cab protectors.

Visiting my dad for a couple of days and we spent the morning working on his Zaccaria Ten Stars (1976 EM). Playfield and plastics cleaned up and a new set of rubbers. Some mechanical gremlins to iron out and a bit of a flipper tune-up required but should be going up for sale at some point in the new year, any old Zacc fans keep eyes peeled!
Spent most of this afternoon giving Getaway a once over, comprising 3x brand new flipper mechs and sorted the cold solder joints on the traffic light

I was asked recently to make a couple of custom ball guides for a project. They needed to be cut down, welded and then re-grained to removed the weld/heat marks on the front.
First time I’ve seen or used the kit from Mantis but the parts and quality were spot on and I think its great that the kit is actually available especially if you pick up a project pin that’s missing a ball guide or 2.
