Bringing this one back to life, the guy got a couple of games cheap
from an old guy who had a bygone antique business. The pins were stored
in a garage, but the strange smell reminds me of coming from some type
of farm, pig or chicken. Don't know if this Meteor was picked up in
early 1990 from the USA. Had the CSA inspection form in cabinet, the
usual you must paint the bare wood under transformer/power supply, so
this one got white paint on the power supply board, & inside bottom of
head. Atleast it was spared the useless isolation transformer that
Newfoundland & some other provinces required.
This one had a Bally Solenoid Board from Skateball, had to reflow the
pins on right side (worst one I have seen), replace most contacts, some
wires off. This fixed up absent voltage at TP3 & below TP's. Stern MPU
had leaky battery, atleast it didn't go past that area. Had to clean
all the previous work area's of leftover resin from soldering. Replaced
2 flipper plates broken, never saw this before, good thing I kept some.
Playfield was mylared after the game was worn. Fixed up the power
supply, remote BR2, replaced with old Varo back to original, heat
shrink bad wires behind board, replace J1 (wires soldered to pins) back
to original. Replace J3 with new contacts (I reuse salvaged display
connectors). All fuses wrong - replaced. Replace left flipper coil,
upper flipper wire off so it didn't work, replaced.
