I need to find the thread where I bought this thing but I think it might've been two servers ago. Very long story made very short: I got a Firepower for $250
* Although the backglass survived, its head was destroyed so thoroughly that I ended up fabricating a new one from scratch
* The boards have gnarly battery damage
* The playfield art was roached beyond even the most optimistic hope of repair (and I've restored playfields with a LOOOOOOT of mouse piss soaked in) so I got a still-fucked-but-less playfield and restored that instead

Anyway I started the underside today. All that stuff has to come off and get put on the new playfield

@ifixcoinops that is a terrifying amount of wire to keep track of

@Ongion I put it in a big pile so I'm sure it'll be fine

@ifixcoinops @Ongion I assume this shares the classic Beetle property that once you've taken it apart and put it back together a few times, there's enough leftover bits and bobs that didn't fit back in to build another one.

@whbboyd @Ongion I wish, I found a buncha places there should be screws but weren't, I'm gonna be raiding my piles of other gameguts for this
