Bought a neglected 08 recently, and it has a few issues (I was aware it wasn't firing and badly painted when it was bought).
So...
1 It won't fire! It holds air, the board fires up and everything seems fine. When the eyes are off, no solenoid click. When I opened it up, the eye and solenoid wires are soldered directly into the board, rather than via connectors! I presume the lack of solenoid click is a poor connection... what's the easiest way to check this? Is it as easy as removing the wires from the board and connecting them direct to a 9v battery and switch, or is the solenoid feed stepped down from this?
2 Someone has painted the marker up with what appears to be car paint. very little has got inside the marker, but it look awful. I was planning on having the painted parts re-annoed anyway - is this something an anodiser can removed when they strip and polish?
3 One eye cover screw is stripped and some one has attempted to drill it off, leaving a goughed up mess instead of a screw head. Christ knows how that gets fixed though!
Hopeing @STONESOLDIER and @renie may have some advice?
