Fish Tales came in for some service and upgrades.
We completely tore down the playfield to do a thorough cleaning and waxing. Replaced all the bulbs with Comet L.E.D.
Flippers were rebuilt.
Silicone bands installed.
The motor drive belt for the multi-ball lock replaced.
Driver board was completely rebuilt with all new caps and bridge rectifiers, replaced 1 tip 102 at Q50 that was causing f4 fuse to blow. The driver board otherwise had no previous repair work done to it ever. Completely untouched.
Repinned the alkaline damaged connectors for the switch lines on the MPU, and installed a NVRam.
Replaced the display with an updated L.E.D. one.
Once all that was finished we re sleeved solenoids under the playfield and cleaned/adjusted all switches for maximum response.
Now we are just waiting for new slingshot plastics to replace the chipped ones, and then the machine is ready to go home!
This is one of the cleanest Fish Tales I have ever had the pleasure of working on.
