Poor Medieval Madness has been sitting in the basement 22 months, waiting for some reassembly love.
I mentioned a while back that I was starting to put it back together, but then I got distracted. So over the last few days the little man and I started to get back on it. We:
- Checked all the switches attached to the playfield. Note to self: 54, 55, 65, 66 and 68 need a little adjustment. 61-64, and 67 couldn’t be tested ‘cause I have to reassemble the things they’re attached to. 75 appears busted.
- Checked flashers, replaced a couple. Still need to check 17, 19, 21 and 23 on the ramps when they get reassembled.
- Adjusted the drawbridge. In its upright position it was leaning pretty far forward, as you can see in this pre-disassembly photo:
So we loosened the set-screw and adjusted it back a bit. Now it’s good (although this picture is not):
- Removed the old Troll flap decals and applied new ones. The old ones were getting pretty beat up as you can see here. Peeling them off left a fair amount of gunk behind, so I used a chisel to scrap it off, which actually worked really well. The little man took this action photo:
All scraped:
Decals applied:
Reassembled:
Much better. Compare that to the old versions:
