Cute Honey Needs a Nip / Tuck ! ! !

[new in town]

Well she finally made it here.

Purchased it back in November and asked the vendor to hold off shipping till I got back from Arizona after Thanksgiving

Well he did that but he shipped it to my sisters in ARIZONA.

After a few e-mail's and a phone call it was agreed that I would pay to ship it from Arizona to Florida and the vendor would make good on that cost back to me, I made another trip to Arizona for Christmas and I shipped it two days before I flew back.

Showed up yesterday. You guessed it. Fed Up's did a number on it.

It was shipped in a cabinet and there was no cushion material from the back of the machine to the shipping box. It got flopped onto it's backside and the LCD frame separated from the Cell. All the tap screws pulled out of the plastic.

Many plugs pulled out and two broken wires. One for the shooter and the other for the right speaker. The inner Glass broke also along with the two top plastic tabs that hold the cell into the frame.

Can't say if it was damaged from the vendor to Arizona or from Arizona to Florida as I never opened it up while I was out there.

I reconnected all the plugs and fired it up and the LCD and door lights all work.

It's in 1000 parts right now. Will take awhile to get her back together and running. Took ALOT of Pic's taking it apart.

The odds were against me. Shipping once is bad enough but TWICE, is asking for trouble.

Spoiler

The other machine, a Pachislo shows up this Sunday. Being hand delivered from N Y.

NIT, post pics of some of the broken parts as I stripped lots of that stuff from my cutie honey doing the no balls conversion to her.

if I can find the box I also have the shooter parts.

You help out so much the least I can do is send some parts if I have the ones you need

Ouch!!

Sorry to hear that wasn't the most pleasant of shipping experiences for you

Hope you are able to get her back together again quickly


Keep us posted on your progress

Thank you owen. Most everything plastic that is broken I should be able to fix.

I'm hoping that the shooter not working is just the black wire I found cut going to it. Should have repaired that and checked it's operation before I took her apart.

I'll let you know if I need help there.

Ouch!!

[outdoorenth]

Cute Honey Is ALIVE ! ! !.

Up loadibg a video to my you tube account now. Hopefully they do not pull it. Only one 3 second bare BUTT.

Got the LCD Frame re attached to the main frame using longer #8 secrws vice the shorter #6 that were there.

Cleaned all ball tracks and inners. Super glued all the broken plastics and had to repair a speaker wire and two wires for the Shooter. One of them was to the rheostat which was causing the shooter to fire full force no matter where you placed the knob.

Did a little Nail bending too.

All it's missing now is one of the two slide in glass panels. I can replace that with a piece of Lexan.

I'll post the video as soon as it's loaded.

Now for the Pachislo arriving Sunday.
