I've sort of been building up to this one:

The cabinet is in pretty bad shape, but that's a topic for another time and another section of the Phorum.

"Before" chassis pictures:

The 1st IF transformer has obviously been replaced, as the original was tall and round with adjuster slugs mounted on the side.

This set is an excellent candidate for the bayonet base LED lamps with flexible leads from Pinball Life. This set uses ten pilot lamps!

Things looks sort of rough under the chassis, but not as bad as I expected. The power transformer has also been replaced.

This model has two dial scales and uses two tuning controls. One of the two is used exclusively for the "spread bands" on the right, and uses the same sort of (missing) coupling that I ran into in the 42-761EZ that I worked on in early 2013. Now I'll have to find that extra piece of rubber I bought when I made a spacer for its tuning control...

For those of you wondering why I've abandoned my Brand Z 9-S-262 project: I haven't abandoned it...I am still waiting for resistors for it. A word of advice: Don't ever order parts from Mouser and specify "economy" shipping unless you don't care when they arrive. I ordered those resistors on Christmas Eve...and I am still waiting for them.
