Looking forward to seeing your Panzer Attack restoration, and your SAMI has been really interesting as well!
 
Panzer & S.A.M.I.

I won't be doing any mods to the Panzer. I think Midway realized at that point the mega hot projector bulbs were not the way to go. Hoping for zero sound issues regarding the electronic amplifier and sound boards. However this game is more electronic than EM so it will be a learning lesson to say the least. I do know at some point I will have to update these boards with new components for longevity.

I appreciate your comments regarding the S.A.M.I. I kept all the original parts for originality purposes only. Some of the LED mod was out of fear of availability of incadesent lighting. Looking at it this would include the small bulbs the 47's that we use in our pins, bowlers, and uprights.

How's your Royal playing? I can't wait to complete my WMS Space Mission.

Have a good day today sir...OHEMIO

They Royal Flush is working great now. As you know, when I started, I really didn't know anything about EMs, but with your help and the other guys here I was able to get it going. A lot of 'fix one thing, then find another wrong', but it is finally there now. Just a buzzy coil now to replace, but that's on order, and really just a minor thing. It's a great game, we're having a lot of fun playing it.

Best of luck on the Panzer Attack!
