This was a relatively clean machine with a couple of niggling issues. The main one was the beacon topper wasn't working anymore. The motor that turns the reflector was jamming. Gottlieb used a widely available toy motor for this assembly, which is still available to buy from many Chinese electric motor suppliers (part no. EG-530AD-2F). To couple the motor shaft to the reflector base, cap the shaft with a rubber post cap. Spins like a dream now!


There were also some inoperative switches. The cave-in drop targets needed adjusting. There is also an optical switch pair by the pop bumpers that most people don't know is even there. These opto boards needed reflowing to get them working. A flasher wasn't working, too. This was due to a dodgy connector under the playfield.


Game is now playing nicely and is ready for sale!
