Today’s plan was to put the legs on Firepower and start cleaning it in earnest. The previous owner had stripped the threads on the front leg brackets. They were total garbage, and had to be removed. I tried to be fancy and replace them with some more solid brackets in a newer style. Some folks on the internet (you can see where this went off the rails already) claimed the new brackets would fit- but they totally didn’t. They’re just too big.
So, back to pinballlife.com and waiting for new new leg brackets to get here later this week. I’ll try to do some clean up, but with the game on the floor it’s pretty awkward to work on. Plus, I can’t try the one thing I really want to try- putting the backbox up, wiring everything up, and seeing if the machine boots. Next weekend, hopefully!
