Quoted from kyle5574:I have one. I don’t think it has ever been remade.
Any interest in selling it?
Chris
Quoted from Enchantress:Chris check with https://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=PDG480 their page says they have them. Part of the backing came off of mine or I'd offer it up.

Thanks I'll check with them on that.
Quoted from Pbpins:Those are both for Scared Stiff not EATPM.
I did see that but hoping they are similar or might work on EATPM.

Quoted from djblouw:It does not have a diode.
Quoted from billsgto:My replacement coil came with a diode and blew a transistor immediately, so you should remove it.
Thank you
Quoted from djblouw:Doesn’t matter, since diodes are on the circuit boards.
But if you’re anal, put it on the same side as all the other coils.
On my machine it was the left side. But my coil was oriented different. I’d suggest swapping how yours is mounted, to get the lugs away from the coil stop.

Thanks. I am still confused about the diodes / no diodes on the coils but that's a me problem.
This machine I bought because the playfield was pretty nice. I played it before I bought it. Played strong, but the boogie men didn't work. I was ok with that. But now it's blowing fuses and I'll have to dig into it to try to find out why. F7 blows now (the 50V AC fuse). This should be fun.

Quoted from djblouw:On this era of game (and WPC), the diodes for all coils, other than flippers, are located on the circuit boards.
So you can hook the power and ground to either lug on the coil, as the diode is on the other end of the wire (at the board).
Since flippers are double wound, they have to be handled differently.
Thank you. Appreciate your help. Now to figure out the other gremlins.
Chris
Thank you.
All tested okay. I replaced the fuses, and connect the boogie men coil again. The machine seems to be back to normal now. Played about 20 games with no issues. I’m still not sure what happened but will keep an eye on it.
Started the topside tear down and that’s, well, not fun. So is there any way to remove the Monster Slide ramp? I hate when they run through the rear panel???!?!?
Quoted from ktuhde:I just did a top and bottom side tear down. The ramp is two separate ramps that butt together behind the panel and rest on a metal bracket. There is one screw that holds them there.

Awesome thank you! I had no idea it was 2 pieces. I feel silly now.
Thanks again!
Chris
Quoted from tiltmonster:There are a couple of write ups on the teardown with ramp replacement and plastics, it is a tedious process to get to the ramps. I've documented it with some photos and there is a posted YouTube video (not mine) of the teardown with some helpful tips.
Thanks, I'll have to look for those. Some things they did just baffle me. I'm not new to tearing down machines but this one seems especially odd with some of the stuff they did.

Quoted from Tablewicked:Some good info here

That link doesn't work

Quoted from harig:Recycling of left overs from previous runs at the cabinet maker....no games got slaughtered here
Oh I know that. Just found it funny. Most of my System 11 machines have something else in this spot as well, and my CarnEvil arcade game has cabinet wood in it from Cirqus Voltaire :O
It's actually a good use of scrap wood that would normally be tossed. At least I have Part of a Black Knight 2000. LOL
Chris
Quoted from Top_Fuel_Friday:Starting to reassemble the resto/playfield swap. Glad I took a ton of photos when I took this thing apart.

Looking great! How was the CPR playfield? I don't have the gumption to do a playfield swap. I really admire those that can!

Oooof. I had that happen to me once too. Hope you have a spare!
