How to remove the Bottom Left VUK coil and bracket from under the PF (playfield) to change the "forked switch":
- Take out the two largest bolts first, using a cross-head (phillips) screwdriver on the top and 11/32" nut runner (or socket) on the bottom.. Remove the metal VUK "arch" from the top of the playfield.
- Remove the two lower wood screws (1/4" drive) leaving the one on the corner near the T-nut.
- Supporting the Coil Bracket, remove the last 1/4" screw.
- Unclip the connector from the coil and VUK. Remove coil and bracket assembly.
- Microswitch small screws are 3/16". As before, to remve the switch right you need a nut driver (or socket) that size.
Assembly is above steps in reverse. Test in switch tests and throwing a ball in there in attract mode. Job done.
Noticed that a ball had hung on the bottom Legolas ramp for another player when struck very lightly. Caused a ball search and "chase ball" to be served. I had seen this before, so while the PF was up, I tightened three 11/32" bolts at the bottom of the habitrail. One (on right side) seemed very loose, which may fix it. (didn't work)
Put a #555 bulb-style color changing LED in the Palantir Insert to try there. Seems to have a different flash rate to the Palantir LED.
Dipped 10 x #44 clear bulbs (recovered on 23rd March) in "GlassART Light Green" to make green bulbs. These are for GI along the left side of the PF and under the slingshots.
Re-wrote a comic strip on Monday to be more about me, although the drawing is not mine. Called a mash-up. Had an argument with my wife (we are usually compatible, even on pinball related things). I got angry, took a (D-ahem)Gilbert comic and had fed her to the Pinball Orcs by Wednesday.
Enjoy!
