If anyone actually reads my posts on this blog I would like to say that I am sorry for the lack of updates. I am now in my last quarter at ITT Tech and will graduate at the beginning of September. The classes that I am taking now take up all of my time, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have started working on my Fireball II pinball machine, and am using this machine as my final project for my capstone class. I have to document everything that I do with the machine, so when I get finished, I will have a big update on this blog. The circuit boards in this game are so corroded with battery damage that a normal person would just get some better boards of eBay and fix them. Since I am in electronics engineering, I am tackling these boards head on, and will fix them. The playfield is done; the cabinet is done, so I only have to get the electronics working to complete my project.
On a side note, I will not run out of projects when Fireball II is finished. I just picked up a 1979 Williams Flash pinball machine and a 1979 Atari Asteroids arcade game. Both games are non working, and neither game is in great shape, but that is the way I like to get them.
That'll be awesome when you graduate. Keep working hard!
