    Default 2nd Powerflash find in the last month

    I just picked up my 2nd PowerFlash in less than 30 days. Last month I found a Chinaman at an estate sale and yesterday I picked up a Thunderbird model from CL. I saw it a few days ago on my phone while browsing CL, it was listed as a Japanese Pinball so a search of Pachinko would not of found it. The pictures were so small and out of focus I did not realize it was a PowerFlash. Then over the weekend I brought it up on my computer and figured out what it was. I was able to meet up and pick it up yesterday. I had to pretty much commit to buying it without seeing the back or without a good picture of the back in order to meet up with the seller yesterday. I got the T-Bird home loaded it with balls and after removing a bug from the shooter area and straightening out a couple bent levers the shooter and jackpot are working. Of course you can tell from the pictures I will have to get a transformer to test the solenoids. I may bypass the entire diode circuity and just go with a 24VDC power supply and LED's since all of wiring is removed. It is the cleanest unit I have picked up. I will probably have to wait until after the holidays to commit some time to a cabinet and wiring.
