Title: Need help with 1979 Stern Hot Hand
Post by: MrBritish64 on August 18, 2016, 05:26:11 PM: I have a Stern Hot Hand 1979 pinball machine and in the coin door all the wires are disconnected, and I don't know what wires go where. Any help?

After two years it was really a bummer to see how the humidity had taken it's toll on the HH backglass. They are notorious for the red flaking as is but, now the lower trim is rusted and big chunks of the gold just fell off on the playfield glass when removed.

I can shoot a picture of the coin door for you tomorrow (now stored at work). If you wouldn't mind, I could also use some assistance re-connecting the head/displays. It really sux that Stern didn't connectorize the head/body wiring instead of having to pull all the circuit board connectors.

She also said that there was a problem with the sound but.. first things first.

The wiring in these things are always a jumble, but not as bad as in my "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" That thing is a real nightmare. Anyway, here are some pictures I took , hope they help.
