here's a short update (although i consider this resto finished): i just wanted to let you guys know that i've solved the coin counter problem (remember, the counter wasn't increasing). well, it wasn't too difficult, because i simply swapped the 12V version for a 10V one and now i can hear that soothing sound of the coin counter every time i add a credit! i screwed the new counter to a small piece of wood and glued it next to the sound board (its original position)!
of course the new counter number is totally different from the first one, but - believe it or not - even i can live with that!
it's those tiny details which keep a restoration from ever being finished, let's see what i find next ...
