That's right, study the stars...I have two out of five based on my history here, so that must make me a serial killer. I wonder how evil one star criminals are??? Whaaa--haaa-haaa! I never liked the star system...too easy for one person to abuse it because they were having a bad Karma or something. Glad it's gone, disappointed it stuck onto the original profiles though.

While I didn't study every inch of it, you really cannot tell there are inserts at all and the clear coat is like glass - very nice work.

Check the manual, Adjustment section A.3 #21. There was an option to put a coin meter in place of the knocker. If you have a coin meter in the cabinet you'll have to reroute the wires up to the knocker. The coil table shows what wires you're looking for: J107-3 and J130-8 (violet-black) Oh, and the coil you have is correct in that it has a pair of short pigtails on it. - Kerry ============================================================================== TOPIC: Pinball Quiz question: Name the pinball machine at the Vatican... http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/808675fc411c54f7?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 2 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 5:54 am From: Mike in Maryland In the late 1980's, there was a pinball machine above St. Peter's sacristy for enrolled Vatican altar boys....name that machine.... == 2 of 2 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 6:08 am From: William Brower On May 8, 8:54 am, Mike in Maryland <pinbal...@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > In the late 1980's, there was a pinball machine above St. Peter's > sacristy for enrolled Vatican altar boys....name that machine.... http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=boys&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick#3018 ============================================================================== TOPIC: Bally Atlantis flipper post adjustment? http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/251ae06bee3440c1?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 6:03 am From: bogart I'm trying to help out a friend in another state with his Bally Atlantis.

I'm no tech but this could be an issue with a loose wiring connection. The daisy chained ground wire connection could have come loose somewhere and all your pop bumpers and slingshots that are in line with that are without ground and will not operate.

I fired her up this morning and I didn't get through the first game. As soon as I locked the first ball it wouldn't kick out another ball. I look through the ramp and the middle switch is rubbing against the PF and it's still in the down position.. I give it a little bend to center the switch and so far (crosses fingers) it hasn't messed up yet since, but I've only played about 4 games since. Thanks for the tip!

But, IIRC, there is a credit hold relay of some sort that kept track of the "2 credits, 1 coin" scenerio. This is what turns the light on. There is nothing else. Mine was on free play, and I closed the switch in this stack to keep it coined up all the time. ============================================================================== TOPIC: TECH: A084-91864 "Sounds Deluxe" schematic http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/5a2be8151d8761dc?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 6:12 am From: "Coin-Op Cauldron (Clive)" On May 7, 7:00 pm, "TheK...@xxxxxxxxxxx" <TheK...@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Does anyone have a readable copy of the A084-91864 "Sounds Deluxe" > schematic? > > I've downloaded a couple off of IPDB, but they're all so badly scanned > in that resistors almost look like straight wires. > > If anyone can point me in the right direction (or send me a copy), I'd > be quite thankful. > > Thanks! Just a quick note if you are repairing that Sounds Deluxe board; -- the PAL has the security bit set and therefore the fuse map cannot be read out of the IC. If the PAL is faulty, you'll need to find a donor PAL or another board.

Give me wire all day any day as opposed to dealing with a bunch of microcontrollers running on multiple ICs. Being in networking for 20+ years, I can go ahead and tell you that CAN-bus problems always have to be replaced…..not repaired! Collectors are going to have a cash cow when (not if) they have to replace one of the microprocessors that handle those controllers. This is why you always end up paying out the ass when the CAN-bus in your car fails. Then again, I guess if you can afford to drop $7K on a pinball machine, you don’t worry about stuff like this. ============================================================================== TOPIC: Pittsburgh to Allentown Show - Need a machine hauled? http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/9ada9ed478b5e82e?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 7:14 am From: Haiku Automation On May 8, 6:32 am, Bill <b...@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I may be up for 1 day trip too.

I will start by stating I've never had to do this before either. Plus, I had to look it up in the manual to see if this was a WMS part or Bally. It is in fact a WMS part. Anyhow, go to - http://www.planetarypinball.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PP&Screen=BOOK. Then, click on the blue book. Search for "C-11819". It won't give you the correct pages, but you can advance one page to 5-32 (pg 428 of the online catalog) from the first search hit. It looks like there are two nuts used to secure the post height. Loosen the upper nut first, then the lower. Adjust the height, and tighten each nut in reverse order. It's great that PP has this info readily available, but what a PITA it is to navigate. I had to look it up in the hard copy catalog, after several unsuccessful search in the online catalog. In hindsight, It would probably be easier just to d/l the Atlantis or Big Guns manual from IPDB.

I have a magic orange cat who makes a bee line straight for any open machine (arcade or pinball). Even with this rule in place, I have found him trapped in games "I only opened for a minute". My sympathies; I would not have expected a broken ramp. I usually am paranoid about the cats going after the rubber (a member posted about his $2000 pinball rubber once, due to the vet bills post feline ingestion). Good luck finding a replacement. If not I am sure you can jury rig the current one into functionality, I just would not expect it to be purty. ============================================================================== TOPIC: FS: Taxi Marylin Prototype http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/cfac6b9889fa0595?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sun, May 8 2011 7:35 am From: GameRoomCollectibles http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150602442853&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Can't really confirm nor disprove "Prototype" status, however it has 4 factory sticker "PROTO5" & "PROTO6" chips intact on 2 separate boards.

(not nos clear s though. still taking in NOS clear jobs) but I will sell if you need a core for a restoration. as for my nos stock, here is what I have. nos scared stiff cleared restored/cleared sw episode 1 corvette restored/cleared NOS eight ball nos playboy nos matta hari nos wizard wizard repro nos paragon nos wilde fyre nos trident nos gottlieb dragon EM nos fire nos pinball magic nos wpt nos Jackbot nos lotr clearcoated nos roadshow cleared nos junkyard cleared Black knight set repro nos elvis cleared captn fantastic repro nos monopoly nos south park nos break shot nos whirlwind Medevil madness repro Monster bash repro None of them are priced low enough for people to buy them from me and sell them, but if you need one for a restoration they are affordable. What I am trying to say, is please dont email me for all of the prices. I have paid retail for all of them, and they are mostly a collection, and I love to sell when they are needed. Or when a customer is looking to have me do a restoration, I suggest one of the new ones I have in stock. So there is what is available as for the nos. If there is one in peticular you need or are interested in more info, just drop me a line.

I took your suggestion and wired the blue to pin3. I powered up the game and the 10 amp fuse blew right away. I checked the rectifier board before plugging anything in and it was correct on everything. I have never had the game fully on as I bought it in pieces. So i am not sure if it is the wire or something else. Onwards and upwards.

I "HAD" DMD's.... My 40 plus machines are mostly 77-84 with some System 11's. People love too play my collection. Ball times are short and getting good at any one of them takes so much flipper skill.... Take a WPC game and hit the flipper fast. Not really fast but just hit it..... It stays up.

Replace the outer coil spring on the shooter housing. Over time the spring becomes compressed and the ball is farther up in the shooter lane making it hard for the auto shooter to make good contact. Just my guess. http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=1834&parent=0 Good luck with your fix.

They seem to be superficial and are very even and parallel. I can't be sure if it was like that before, but I had never noticed it. The other games in the room all looked fine.

Yup, that's what's meant by the term 'planking'.

That was my first thought, but I hadn't seen planking like this. Everything I had read said it was safe to keep games in these types of temps, with the backglass being the chief concern.

Over the years, there's been a few people that I've met as a result of pinball that have become genuine friends. Doug and Brock are certainly two of them. They're higher than top notch.

I can't think of a custom machine that would be better than this. Thanks for everything you've given to this industry. I may take you up on the custom offer one day. ============================================================================== TOPIC: Tech help JM http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/4ba95c4e7686c178?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 2 2011 9:36 am From: Scott in Hubertus On May 2, 8:54 am, Don <bigdon...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > An error f5 ball in hand comes up on my JM.  It seems to work fine > during game play.  When I run a hand test, the hand does not move. > Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks. There is a switch inside the middle of the magnet that gets activated when the ball gets sucked up into it. It's made out of very thin copper sheet like spring steel. Test the switch with a ball and see if it works. If not, the switch may be stuck closed and needs to be adjusted. I had to adjust mine a few times before it worked 100% of the time. It can be touchty.

While I find the layout interesting and look forward to seeing the rules, I hate the artwork. Way too much blue for my tastes and the translate is simply too dark. Combining what I consider bad artwork on top of what I consider a bad theme means no purchase for me. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to play it on location.

Anti-slam switch (on the insdie of the coin door) closed and clean ? If the above 2 conditions are satisfied and the machine still won't start a game, you'll want to consult the schematic and find the circuit branch that contains the start button switch (Gottlieb may have called it "replay button sw." in 1972). There will be a number of other normally-closed (NC) switches in series with the replay button, between the power and ground sides of the schematic. All these switches will need to be closed and conducting or the replay button alone will not complete the circuit. One of the NC switches will probably be an anti-cheat switch, and two different NC switches will likely be located at two different positions of the score motor. There will probably be a couple other NC switches in the circuit also. Consult the schematic if you have one. If not, maybe someone else with the game can check it.

The explanation that they followed Islamic law to have him buried within 24 hours makes sense on one level but doesn't fit with our usual expectations. But to claim that this whole thing is set up for Obama's sake it just stupid. First thing to realize is that he is dead and his body is gone, there is no way he is not dead and there is no way he just died some time ago and got buried in the mountains by his followers. They would not make up this story to have him come out with a new video tomorrow or have his long dead corpse show up somewhere tomorrow. The only thing that makes logical sense is that he died and we have/had his body. There is no other way this story is going to be put out. The only thing in question is the circumstances of his death. In the upcoming months we will have video of the raid and we will have interviews with the SEALs. To think that all the people who are going to come out of the woodwork involved in this are all Obama robots carrying on with a massive cover up is just stupid. Will all the Republican Senators and Congressmen sit back and let a story they don't believe carry on? Will George Bush? WIll Dick Cheney? Nobody is stupid enough to put out a fake story that would so easily be proven fake. I guess the left wing has the wacky 911 conspiracy theorists, so why shouldn't the right wing have the wacky Bin Laden death conspiracy theorists. == 4 of 5 == Date: Mon, May 2 2011 10:02 am From: Pinballed Nobody is stupid enough to put out a fake story that would so > easily be proven fake. > Really?

I didnt make any acusations. I simply asked if it had crossed anyones mind. I didnt even bring the subject up, it came from Pheobe who has NEVER made a political post or shown a bent toward any political party or the other. RGC said he has seen a pic of the dead body, thats enough for me. No one can say that the gov has never lied to or pulled a fast on on the US public. ============================================================================== TOPIC: TECH: Classic Stern Quicksilver Repro Drop Target Reset Issue http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/6ab63e396061bbff?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 2 2011 9:46 am From: Big12bus On May 2, 9:48 am, Noahpdavis <noahpda...@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The issue I'm having is with the vertical 4-bank in the center of the > pf.  I've replaced all 7 drops in the game with repros from pinball > resource.  What's happening when the bank resets at the beginning of > the ball is that some of the targets aren't staying up.  The even > stranger thing is that it appears to be the targets that are currently > up that are dropping.  For instance - > > If targets 1 and 4 are still up at the end of a ball (with the 2 > middle targets down),  When the bank resets for next ball, targets 1 > and 4 will be down with 2 and 3 up. > > Initially, I had read that the repro targets are shorter and will sit > below the playfield in the down position.  When i first installed 'em > it appeared that the targets that were not resetting were random.  I > read that someone "shimmed" the bottom of the drop assembly to get > them to rest at the proper height when dropped.  I gave this a try and > while they are sitting at a more proper height (slightly above the pf > now in the down position), the reset/drop issue became consistent. > > Adjust my "shim" height?  Someone in another stern thread mentioned > flipping part of the bracket around to fix the issue - anyone know > what part they're referring to? > > Lastly - I replaced the 3-bank targets as well and they reset > perfectly every time.  No shims, no fuss. > > I am loving this game . . . definitely on par with my 9-ball.The flow > of the return lanes to spinner shots is killer!  And sweeping the 4- > bank to the left spinner, or sweeping the 3-bank to the right is very > satisfying. > > Thanks! The key is you have to grind off the reset plunger to the same length as the difference between the old target and the new target. The problem is with the shorter target the reset plunger only going to the same height does not get all the targets back on the shelf. Take the plunger off and remove about 1/8 of an inch. Either with a grind wheel and or file. That should work. My recommendation after 15+ years restoring classic sterns is try to use the original targets. New targets will never be as snappy as the old targets and are made of a harder plastic. Which has issues. The spinners on Quicksilver are also critical. Sand the edges, debur the bracket, tweek the switch and use graphite on them. My QS has some of the best spinners. I can get over 200 spins per hit and both will be going at the same time while the ball is moving around the playfield. Great stuff, great game. Here is a picture of mine after restoration a few years back. http://usergallery.myhomegameroom.com/gallery/album142/2005_0801Image0071 http://usergallery.myhomegameroom.com/gallery/album142/2005_0801Image0070 Good luck.

I go to Vegas 2-3x a year, do NOT stay at any off these places: Tropicana, Excalibur, Circus Circus, Riviera, Flamingo, Harrahs, Imperial Palace, The Plaza or Polo CLub. They are all dumps. I usually stay at MGM, Mirage, or New York New York. If you join their M Life card, you will usually get 3 nights free every month. I havent paid for a hotel room in Vegas for years! Even if you did pay for a room, its only a few bucks more, and PS, if this is your interest, The hookers that hang out in the lobby of MGM are alot better looking then what you see walking the street by the Riviera ============================================================================== TOPIC: WTB: White Water cabinet decals http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/t/bf6b1528dcfb4f41?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 2 2011 9:57 am From: "Jeff Rivera (jar155)" Anybody have a set?

This one is a 4 rpm while the original is a 10 rpm. It is Multi Products spec #3312A. You would need to pull the outer crank arm assembly and install it on this one to use it in your Black Rose. Definitely a nice alternative to $225, and up, for a new motor. Shipping is extra. ============================================================================== You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "rec.games.pinball" group.
