Well after some time away from being able to work on my 81, I finally got to put a couple hours in this weekend. Last time I got to work on it, I managed to tackle getting the bottle door back together. This time I wanted to get the door lighting rewired with a new ballast. Got the wiring redone and the bulb back in place. Everything lit up and looked good. Put the bottle door in place, turned on the light and ARRGGGGGG
. What wasn't apparent without a light shining right on the door was the dust and fingerprints that I missed all over the center piece of plexiglass. After kicking myself for not being more careful and realizing the problem before putting the door back together I realized it would bug me forever if i didn't fix it. So I had to take it all apart and clean up then reinstall. Lesson learned I guess, but I am with John on these doors. For all of the other great design aspects of these machines, the doors are a pain in the .....!
