I was JUST about to comment... ...on the Logitech 550 remote control.  Same one I use for my Home Media PC, and I love it.  ;)

I think I'll post some pics of the fireplace I just built with the 'hidden features' sooner or later.  (Sure, it's not a cab, but maybe it'll showcase some hidden talents I have.)  I was actually toying with the idea of building some controls into a new coffee table my Wife wants me to build, but I'm trying to get my kids OFF my Plasma screen, not on it.

(sorry if I derailed your thread somewhat.)

Sorry, my resto is over on KLOV, not here on BYOAC.

But to summarize, I got SUPER lucky with the pin, it was not working when I picked it up due to corrosion on the MPU (pinball motherboard, basically).
- I needed to scrub up the MPU with vinegar and replace a capacitor and diode on the MPU.
- Replaced one bridge rectifier, four diodes and all the fuse clips on the power supply, as well as a burnt connector.
- I replaced all the bulbs (120) in the head and playfield (#44's replaced with #47's).
- Cleaned, Touched up, and waxed the playfield when I had it stripped for the bulbs.
- Replaced the plunger, ball, and rubbers.
- Stripped the legs down to bare metal and repainted with a hammered silver-grey finish.
- Replaced the old power cable with a proper IEC-320 C13/14 cable.
- Fixed up the score panels, no more flickering/missing segments.

So I put a fair amount of time into it. Still need to touch up the exterior a bit, but i'd say it's about 90% now. Needs paint, and gotta replace 4 parts (2 cracked lane guides, and 2 burnt pop bumper caps), but that's it.

As for the Harmony, FREAKING LOVE IT!
