5
one missing bolt and a bend to the metal overlay of this sign, pliers soon fixed it, just need to refit plus add some allen bolts, wish I had a spare original weathered security bolt to replace missing one


6
fit new rear lock [and 2 to front coin doors]
fill drill holes in rear hatch ready for touch up


7
clean front bezel, replace all the oversized bolts holding the monitor perspex with good fit allen bolts that are dark and hidden, hold in plaae with nuts [all nuts missing]


8
full clean up, tighten bulbs ready to test as not working before, fully cleaned very dusty top extractor fan, fan works fine


next task as well as other small jobs is to clean and regrease the moving parts

Afterburner is a great game I used to own it and badly missed it, hope I will keep this one now

if anyone thinks the powerful shaker could damage the pcb let me know I don't want to risk anything

The game is not the same without that shaker though!

To do:

1. replace the side art
2. fix some holes in the wood work
3. fill holes in metal coin door
4. clean and regrease the control mechanisms and flight stick
5. check and fix the warning lights if needed
6. refit control panel sign with new bolts
7. refit the monitor bezel
8. touch up paint work where needed

the shaker motor issues - the shaker did not sound right I think I worked it out... the assembly was not bolted to its wooden base - hense it will knock the assembly onto that wood when shaking, hence loosening occured of some of the master bolts that secure and allow the shaker up down movement of the whole metal control assembly, if that makes any sense

I just need to get 2 good bolts to hold it down with wing nuts to allow removal and servicing of the CP [otherwise it won't tip forward when bolted down]
