10/19/2013: Centaur is here !

Great looking machine. Plays really well. There are many issues with the lamps. I’ve already gone through and replaced all the bulbs that seemed out. I was at 17 bad bulbs, I now am down to 7. The remaining 7 bulbs are not the bulbs themselves, but are wiring/sockets/board/connectors/chips, etc… One by one each of the four sets of bulbs will be solved: Pops (2), Slings (2), and 1-2-3 lanes (3).

First order of business is cleaning up the playfield. Spent 5 hours cleaning the playfield. Used magic eraser to remove 80% of the ball swirls. Before touchup and clearcoat, I’ll eventually remove them all. This is good for now.

All parts have arrived: $170

new pop caps (2)
new rubber kit (1)
new white rubber cap set (1)
new flippers assemblies (2)
new targets sets (2) + spring
new bally sticker (1)
