Model F 5155 Restoration

Ground looks bad, but in working condition. Also look at the screw that maintains the PCB in place, isn't promising but copper tape or some tin would help.

Hey blaise, have you moved forward with the restoration?

Yes and no. I've slowly been getting some more hammers fixed but I haven't had a good moment to actually sit down and work on putting everything back together yet.

I hope you do, this is definitely a DTA2018 contender (though Aer Fixus' Beamer restoration is probably the best of the year)

I have the same problem

Nice work. If you have trouble with the controller, I have a spare Xwhatsit. I’d stick with the original if you can—Xwhatsits can be fiddly to tune, and your PCB and flippers have been through a lot—but if you need it, get in touch.

Any update on this project?

Unfortunately no, it's been on the backburner. Too much other stuff going on in life right now.
