=== Functional ===
* If pressing start button results in soft sound repeated three times "dugga dugga dugga" the machine can not find both balls. One may be stuck/hiding in the playing area or the limit switches that detect the balls near the launcher may be dirty or damaged.
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Diagnose fuse blowing problem
** Likely culprit: bad solenoid on jet bumper (already disassembled - discoloured)
* <i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Replace left flipper solenoid
** This is the cause of the left flipper sticking on the down-stroke, and the repeated blowing of at least one fuse.
** <i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Order new solenoid
* <i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Replace all rubber bumpers
** <i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Order new bumpers
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Realign flippers
** They keep getting out of alignment no matter how much they are tightened. Maybe threadlocker would help?
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Descale copper contacts
** Better current flow = better power from flippers
** Ian did one in Feb 2016.
** Consider replacing with a different type of switches
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> [Optional] Replace lights with LED equivalents/rewire motherboard to work with LEDs
** Rutger wants to do this pretty much immediately (as of Feb 2016).
** Frollard is not so optimistic, because the existing matrix depends on the incandescent bulbs' resistance, making LED replacement complicated and likely not at all power-saving.
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Resolder top front speaker wires
** Only internal speaker works; top disconnected
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Find replacement coin rejector
** Player 2 quarter slot rejector missing


=== Formal ===
* Please add more problems and solutions as time goes on!
* <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Redo exterior paint job; replace decals on side
 
** Repaint?
==To do==
** Vinyl decal?
 
** <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Image original artwork
===Functional===
** <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Vectorize artwork
 
** <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Sand down to wood
* Diagnose fuse blowing problem
** <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Prime and seal
**Likely culprit: bad solenoid on jet bumper (already disassembled - discoloured)
** <i class="fa fa-square-o"></i> Reapply artwork
