Keeping busy today uggggh.

I f'ed up bad. Poked a screw through the playfield, but fixed it and doesn't look as horrible as it should. Thank god it's not in a ball roll location.

View...maybe. Probably not. It's under the middle rollover off to the side. It will be right next to where a star post touches the playfield I think, so it shouldn't affect ball travel and probably not visible.

More work on it today. Flashers, resistor boards, right lock/kickout mech, right T-L-E bullseye targets, more gi light wiring.

Got the change bonus target wired up, some more GI sockets now have power hooked up, the lane indicator lights, and the 3 drop target bank and associated switches.

One thing interesting, the 3-bank sits on top of a t-nut. CPR did not pre-route where this t-nut is on the playfield so I had to pop itnout and use a huge wood drill bit to route it out until the nut sat flush with the playfield so the bracket would sit evenly over it.
