thejudge Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Good luck with the project. Looks like it has a missing chime/bell and knocker as well, based on this pic from IPDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirtstorm Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 The backglass is perpex in good condition but has grey tape around the edges. The ply from the back box was coming off before I glued it back so Im assuming they used the tape so would not fall out. Im concerned if try to remove tape it might damage backglass. The missing relay coils are the alternating relay and 3 card relay coils in sequence bank Have got all parts coming from PBR. I have not cleaned the playfield looks pretty good to me[ATTACH]132945[/ATTACH] Sent from my GT-I9295 using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirtstorm Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I cant figure out why they have gone to the trouble of soldering wire to the fuses yet on some of the brokern solder joints to the coils and contacts they have attached alligator clips to the wires:unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just hoping that the glue holds and cabinet does not spring apart when I put legs on and remove trolley.:( - - - Updated - - - they ran out of solder? different owners? all they had on hand at the time? my bet Rich would be different owners its probably had a few over 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajfclark Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 they only made 100 of these and havent seen one for sale for years.So the backglass would be very difficult to replace and you'd probably have to get a repro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illawarra_steelers Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 So the backglass would be very difficult to replace and you'd probably have to get a repro? pretty sure the ss retro version used a repro k.o.d. backglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirtstorm Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 An update. Have removed all wiring that was not original. None of score reels would turn properly when activated by hand so dismantled and cleaned. Credit assembly no go to spring in wrong spot in relation to stop. Lucky could compare to my wildlife and adjust. Powered machine up motor works and stops when the burnt out reset relay is activated by hand. All playfield coils working. Score reels all 3 activate at same time[emoji53] Hopefully when replace missing and burnt out coils might solve scoring issue. Part s arrived but forgot to order missing coil securing screws for relay coils.the original are brass is there a reason for this?would steel screw be ok.? Also the missing card arms come with little brass rivet ? to attach to switch actuators do i need a special tool?thanks Sent from my GT-I9295 using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi Squirtstorm, I restored a KOD a few years back. It remains one of my favourites that I will never part with. Still very challenging. Gordo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfclark Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Brass cannot be magnetised. I think that's why it was used to mount the relays, to act as a kind of magnetic insulation between the coil and the steel mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
