So you know everything else, this is a switch test break, you want to... It's a pretty cool switch menu system here. As you press things, it tells you where it's at. Mine saw a switch is there. Let's see, you got the... You got the switch under here. Everything's working, but when you go here, there's right switch. So this is what would read. There's nothing. And I don't even know if there's a wire attached to that switch. I can't see. but we are getting absolutely nothing from that one. So I don't know what to tell you. I could lift the play field. I could do that. You know, let's lift the play field and show you guys what's underneath this in the next video just so you can get a sense of, like, the underneath workings of Magic Girl, all right?
