  1. They do hit the odd bird, but a greater risk is a pocket of thin air given they don't have much height to correct, even taking off when fully loaded can be an issue - I've known them to clip contour banks, fences and trees sometimes with tragic consequences. When sowing seed they can fly higher as the seed is less affected by wind and air turbulence, however when spraying they need to get as low as possible to minimise those affects. We had high voltage power lines through our place and they'd sow over the top of the lines but would fly under the lines when spraying. As a kid (pre-GPS) all this work was done with flag-men on the ground for the pilot to line up, the rule was when spraying you walked BEFORE the plane got to you (you had to take a certain number of paces for each run).
  2. Kosta and I are now locked in. Looking forward to it!
  3. Thanks all. Had a great day - watched Kosta get through to the quarter finals in the state fencing comp, then out for Mexican afterwards. Was a great way to wrap up a 4 day weekend and got given a few extra tools for looking after my machines 😁
  4. Yes your’s will be more universal- there’s so much variation b/n the vendors and the games types (EM, SS, DMD etc), i’m definitely looking forward to seeing yours.
  5. Awesome Jady. Ben Heck did a similar project years ago - here’s a clip on how he approached it. Look forward to seeing yours in action. Such a rewarding and challenging project - well done mate!
  6. Oh how I’ve missed your flame grilled, smoke infused meets!! LOL I’ll need to see what’s possible mate …
  7. A belated Happy Birthday for yesterday Ali - hope you had a great day and look forward to seeing you some day soon
  8. Shocked to read this and lost for words ... Will miss you at the Melb meets. RIP and condolences to the family
  9. The integration of the A/V is amazing and really makes the game a standout, and the modes and multiballs are quite varied. Some of the shots aren't easy, so it is challenging to complete all of the modes, but this is what draws you back for another game. I'm also big into my themes so this is a standout for me
  10. Are your pop bumpers specifically machined for them or are they from something else as well? The top lens looks sort of familiar ...
  11. Really enjoying these - great content. Think you got the balance right with the clips & music in the last episode, can't wait for the next one! Well done mate!!

  13. The coin door interface schematic is in the STTNG manual. Looking at the below switch matrix page from the WPC Theory of Operation Manual I can see why you a measuring 12V on each switch wire. Note that since the column is strobed you'd typically test it with a logic probe and scope, as a DMM is not going to be able to confirm the correct operation of the circuit. In regards to you specific issue, given you've verified the switch is working correctly and you mentioned that the machine hasn't been used for a couple of years, it is possible that the connectivity of J9 IDC connector onto the header pins on the coin door interface board is the issue - did you try reseating the connector and seeing if the issue disappeared? Note that this can be a temporary fix but it also highlight where the issue is such that you can replace the header and connector to permanently fix it.
