Slippyblade:
If I was an actual tech, I'd agree with you, Paige.  The fact is, I have no idea what I'm doing and an using it as a learning experience.   I get the Joust regardless of the outcome of the other machines.  The owner is the son of a long time friend, so it's "friends and family" time.
Aceldamor:
Just remember slippy, there is a huge community here in AZ that would be happy to help you out.

When you get to the Tut let me know...there are 2 interlock switches on that cab...the one on the front is typically the issue, as it's on a shelf that holds the board. The issue is the shelf doesn't lock so if the game gets moved at a steep angle the shelf slips back and the interlock pops out. 1 screw fixes that.

That's a good tip, thanks! 

This whole project actually got put on hold for a time.  We had a sudden, unexpected, and serious upgrade of a move.  New house has a two-car garage that is becoming my new shop, a studio for my wife's art, and a large front room which is being dedicated as the game room.  I'm gonna be spending this weekend unpacking, organizing, and setting stuff up. Hope to be able to get some work done on the machines on Sunday.

If you can make it, head up to Star Fighters tonight...a big group is going to welcome back Brian.

I got the message from Yots, don't think I can make it though.  Just got too much to do at home this weekend.
