quick status update... the blurry screen fixed itself, alignment to playfield still needed (i havent investigated yet)
the 28 in test mode is the hex value of the plunger, nothing to do with the 29 leds which appear to all be lighting but some are a little dimmer than others...
the blacklight needs to be replaced or repositioned to better light the lower playfield, its way too dark
it appears dip switch 8 is bad... i can't get freeplay or 2c1p to come up, so its always in "off" state... i'll pull the board and check the solder/traces when i tear it apart for cleaning... adding credits is fine til i figure it out
otherwise everything seems to work well... i half expected those indicators on the bottom of the marquee part of the bezel to light up individually when things were active, but alas it doesnt do that... speaking of upgrades, thumpers for flipper press would be cool... i don't like the silent flipper action
otherwise, besides being too short (i like short cabinets, but this one i have to bend over too far to see), this thing is very cool

ps: i'll plug it here in case anyone hasn't seen rich's custom Tron Video Pinball 2.0, it was at CAX and was very impressive... i know someone wise already mentioned to him about the depth of the playfield/screen overlay was off in another thread... that was my only complaint
the artwork/cabinet was beatiful, the game was unique and fun, and when reading about it and the work they did to build a playfield editor to design the playfield, very impressive... anyway, off topic here but worth mentioning, look it up if you haven't
