The playfield has been built out to test stage, leaving all switches, and lamps accessible.

Adding the balance of rebuilt solenoid assemblies to the underside, then inserting into body, and testing.

Final playfield build out will complete, after any system bugs are sorted.

The MPU was dead, and I elected to swap it out with a Alltek rather than spend 4+ hours troubleshooting.

The system boots, and runs, independent of the playfield.

The 5 player displays have been changed to Red LED.

Most of the cabinet and playfield metal has been finished in a aluminum metal look, with the legs in a gloss black.

The J3 connector housing on the power rectifier was changed due to heavy burning; likewise all the .156 wire terminals for J1, J2, and J3 were replace with new trifurcon pins.

The .100 pitch pins on the MPU J4 were also replace.

Upon power-up, more connector housing pins may be replaced, based on what’s happening, and for sure some lamp sockets.

I contacted Devron to service and repair my 1977 STARS pinball machine, Devron was easy to contact and was waiting when I arrived. He is very knowledgeable and completed all the repairs he was asked to. Devron contacted me prior to making any extra repairs we didn't originally agree on, until he started to work on the machine and determine what was needed. The machine has been used every week since the last year and works excellent. Devron has a true passion for his work and I found the rates reasonable.
I was researching pinball machines when I found one of Canada's smartest techs and old school pinheads right here in Saskatoon. Devron's passion for this hobby goes well beyond just a business. He successfully coached me to fully repair and restore my first ever restoration, the magnificent Firepower. I also brought a fully restored Harlem Globetrotters and a unique Skateball for my next restoration. Devron helped me re-live my youth! All my buddies love coming over and we get old school for the night. Devron's service and support also allowed me to successfully take my new collection home to Australia and he continues to help me keep these great pieces of history alive even over such a great distance. You will not go wrong talking to Devron about your pinball or gaming machine needs!
Hello! I wanted to let you know I unpacked and set up Hurricane, and it is in beautiful condition, and working wonderfully! You did a magnificent job on the pallet/crate, and it arrived in great condition. It is currently set up in my living room, and playing it takes me back. Thanks! Pleasure doing business with you.
I was satisfied with Devron's services. His prices are reasonable and he is very knowledgeable. I bought a circus pinball machine from him two years ago. He has done an excellent job of refurbishing this machine. I can phone him anytime when I need questions answered or need to tweak my machine. He is always happy to help me. I would definitely buy another machine from him. I highly recommend him to others.
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I received my Space Invaders Pinball machine yesterday afternoon. It was very well crated and arrived without any damage! I have set the machine up and all works as it should. Thanks for coding the plugs, and providing the set-up manual. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
