It’s so refreshing to see a young man who is more interested in restoring these fantastic old pinball machines rather than being glued to his cell phone. Well done Max. Keep up the good work. Geoff, Scarborough, England.
Don't mean to sound like a stickler, but hopefully some help! Your "Yellow Metal Panel" is called an Apron. That broken target you super glued is a temporary fix, bashing it with a metal ball over time will cause the problem to happen again, you can buy new Targets to Solder in with Marco & other various pinball part websites. It's also just a regular Target, not a "Drop Target." Drop Targets are usually in an assembly of 3 or more, and physically "Drop" down when hit. A solenoid and assembly underneath will push the whole bank up once all Drop Targets are down during play. And be careful with Magic Eraser! Only speaking from personal experience, it can remove and destroy the Playfield art. Millwax & Novus 2 work wonders. Otherwise awesome video man, keep restoring! ✌🏼
@@rollingretro I was surprised during editing how many times I called it a drop target in that clip. I ended up finding problems with the drop targets as well so that must have been in the back of my mind. And you’re right about the temporary fix, it already broke once so I gave it better reinforcement with the super glue. I made sure to test very carefully before doing the magic eraser since I know how destructive they can be, I’ll have to look into those other options. Glad you enjoyed!
Don’t reform caps in circuit. You might exceed the voltage of other components connected. There should be a replacement cap kit available for this sound board. I rebuilt one for my father in law’s Phoenix.
I don't really have any interest in pinball machines, but I'm still fascinated by your videos. I think that's an outstanding achievement!

Yep and that’s probably why the audio amp got hot. After that I reformed out of circuit and I already have new caps on the way.
