I can’t remember two hours ago much less some crap I posted here in 2019.
Keep going, I’m close.
:cheers:

The whole image thing here keeps getting more painful.
I can't upload anything from my phone anymore no matter how much I mess with it in the editor and even once I endure the drama of getting them onto the pc to post they STILL frequently wind up with crappy aspect squish.
Still working at getting the paint finished on this monster.
Today's unexpected excitement was working on the playfiled rails.
When I rolled the thing over to pull the screws out I discovered that... there were no screws.
Somebody had glued these things on at some point- which I suppose makes sense, given that they were probably as violated by termites as various other parts of this box.
And I thought I was finished with all the wordwooking for this project.
So I got the reproduce those silly rail pieces too.
Joy.
At least they came out ok and were an excuse to actually get to see this magenta colored paint in all its glory.
Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is it loud.
I also had gotten around to getting both of the rotisserie things built so I could get these playfields in a spot to start swapping stuff over.
I had forgotten that I really should seal the bottom of the new one with something so it got a really light coat of spar varnish.
Was afraid to roll it on and have gobs dripping though to the topside and destroying something so it got a really light brush treatment.
At least now MAYBE I can start pulling stuff apart now?
It occurred to me also that I'll need to clean these parts up (vinegar bath and rinse?) before I can put them on the new playfield.
Man this is going to take a while.

Wow, you're having fun with that machine. I remember playing that game back in the day.
Just one thing you should check - many old MPU boards have a backup battery that rots and destroys the board. Check it out - now!

Still trying to get time to spray the last few coats of white to start with stencil spraying.
It's good to do electrical work for a local guy with large format printers and cutters who actually thinks it is fun to make one off ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
He can make anything it appears so cabinet art laminates and stencils will continue to get easier for me to have done.
This stuff is taking up way too much space in my workshop given the 20 other open projects I have so I need to get this phase finished up.

Somebody had replaced all but the lamp driver board already and the new main has nvram so thankfully I don't need to sweat alkaline destruction!

Well, we’re rooting for you in Houston, bro.
