I finally got a pin...RESTORED AND LOVING IT.

I was just gonna post some notes, but I bet you all are getting sick of seeing my post bumped with out pics. Am I right?
It was a busy weekend with the family, but I did get the drop targets done. The silver paint was a very close match, and went on easy. The metallic green paint went on translucent, and I had to cake it on to make it opaque. This also caused the paint to be darker than I would have liked. I don't recommend using the glittery metallic paints - they are a pain to work with.
The original image created a depression on the plastic, so I had a pretty good built in template on each target. One white target wasn't original, so I used my wife's wax fabric pattern transfer paper to put on a light colored boundary. It worked well.
As you can see, I am about 75% finished. It takes a while when only working 5-10 minutes a day. ;)
shardian:
No responses all day? Damn that's depressing...I suppose I'll have to do some actual work while at work then.

It looks like you did a total restore, good job man!

Eh, if I can do it then anyone can do it. If you wanted to send me a stripped board though, I would totally do it. It would be a super simple job without having to mess with underside parts and having it in the cabinet.

Reassembly is DONE! I also have the super cool Pi-1 set up like I want it. Unfortunately, I have a switch issue with the 5 bank drop target. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong. All 5 targets pass the switch test. There is a switch on the back of the assembly that I have NO CLUE what it does. Can someone explain this to me? It seems to be set up to stay closed, and there is nothing that opens/closes it. What 'switch' controls the reset coil???
