Here are some videos. (poor quality is due to using my Blackberry to film these)
Star Wars board problems. This is why the spot killer was on:

Quality is no that bad really. That was fun to watch !

Last week was a good week. Not only did I get the board working, but I also won a contest that David over at Ram Controls ran. You had to pick a number between 1 and 5000. Closest to his number wins a Premium Star Wars Yoke rebuilt kit. Well my guess was within 7 of his number so I won the kit
I already hat the standard kit, but was planning on upgrading. The yoke really needs this as it doesn't sit in the center and during the game, you have to turn the yoke about 30 degrees to line it up with center.
Level42:
Must have been 4242 ;)
My advice for anyone that starts work on a SW yoke: get the full kit.
I didn't and now I still have to get the metal parts because of a broken bolt that I had to drill out, plus the center pin of the left-right shaft was bent. These yokes have been (ab)used over 25 years plus, once you're working on it anyway, get everything brand new. Personaly I want to get the yoke ready and never have to open it up again for anything....it's not exactly the most easy control to work on.

Finally got some time to take a look at this. I removed the HV cage to look at the wire going to the focus pot. The wire broke right off when I moved it. I crimped on a new connector and the game played perfectly. No more blurry picture after the first level.
Now for the first time since this game arrived, I can finally play a complete game
:applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
Next up: yoke rebuild. (it really needs it)
