[FSPA] VUK Playoffs Sunday!

I worked on DI! this a.m. and found that the spring on the latch relay 
for the trap door was broken. What's with JJP and springs anyway? All 
three flipper return springs broke in short order when the game was new. 
I also reduced the VUK coil power from 12 to 8 and bent down the scoop 
ball deflector again so the ball does not hit the drone wire ramp when 
it exits. There was a similar problem with the KISS scoop ball deflector 
on CFTBL. I found an upgraded replacement part from Marco for it. I 
played a couple test games and everything seems okay for now.

EBD is rebooting so it is down. My guess is the power supply needs to be 
rebuilt. Doru will handle this when he shops the game. AC/DC will take 
it's place.

Good luck to all in the finals.
