  '76 Williams '77 Bally compatability Post #1 in topic

  Posted 12 days ago by Oneinthefloyd – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 12 days ago

  Hello friends, I am recently in possession of a pretty beat up Capt. Fantastic (1977) (missing entire backbox) I am currently getting ready to restore an #Aztec (not in my possession yet). Are any of the cabinet internals of the former usable in the latter? I'm hoping at the very least, switches, solenoids, and maybe the motor, etc.? Thanks in advance

  Crazy story for this one. Sold my last em big Brave at lax . Have had Aztec on wishlist for 6 years. Saw a nice one in Syracuse for sale. 10 hour drive each ... interested in a pin in this guys basement that nobody plays anymore. Of course it's a freaking Aztec in great condition. Could not believe it. Also just 5 mins from my house. The pinball ... gods can be kind... 600 bux for a really nice Aztec. So lucky. [att=8111730,3843757 caption=""][att=8111730,3843758 caption=""]

  @garrett Thank you very much for your encouragement. I was blaming myself for botching this job, however, this is the very most planked playfield I’ve ever worked on. So, maybe it’s not totally my fault. But it looks so bad I feel like just fixing the inserts and waxing. How did you touch up the area on Aztec with lettering, like at Same Player?

  The Pinside Touch-Up Paint Color Thread Post #165 in topic

  Posted 19 days ago by DetroitLiger – in Restorations documented ‐ Last reply 17 days ago

  I'm looking to do some touch-ups on a Williams Grand Prix. Playfield isn't too bad, but I need to do it before I go any further with Novus, wax, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations as to paint colors and mixes? Also, kind of a noob question, but here goes: Would Williams have used the same paint colors for different games of the same era? In other words, could the shades of blue, red yellow be the same on Aztec, Space Mission or Grand Prix?

Perhaps too quaint a notion, no exec was going to die on the "no aztec" idea- they are given a directive- and this one was to make a semi-camper SUV. They were not responsible for that, that was higher ups who wanted to bring back the mini-winnie or w/e.

  AZTEC Post #1 in topic

  Posted 129 days ago by REDOC – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 128 days ago

  Have a Aztec that does nothing after a ball out but will kick the ball in the out lane or switch to next player with a push of the left flipper button? I know looking to get a schematic and learn. She totally went out and I checked all contacts and the ones on coin door which is usually the problem in the past. Finally got it to even fire up, start button just made a loud hum. Any thoughts for a dummy? Machine is tight in a corner so I always cringe when I have to get in the back scoring reels and relays.

  It also makes me appreciate Aztec, a lot more rules going on than appears at first glance. I guess Williams machines around this time were pushing as far as possible, like Grand Prix etc.

  Right. That's why they keep making them. "Hey, we can't get rid of LE's anymore. You know what's a smart decision? Let's make 500 more JP LEs!" Companies make bad decisions all the time (Pontiac Aztec, Twitter becoming X, and so on). Plus I am sure there is a sense that they need to make the money while the fire is still hot.

  I have an Aztec that is not firing the step down coil. I look and find wires loose am now confused as to how they reattach. To me, the white blue and the black should be on different lugs (per schematic) but they are together on loose wire. There is also a mysterious yellow wire.

  Original 1964 1/2 Mustang was nearly as slow. 0-60 in 8.2 seconds. (we all seem to have these distorted memories of how great the old stangs were, but they were nothing compared to the Mach-E)[quoted image] They at least have character. The Mach E, not so much. Looks like an 80’s ford escort had a kid with the Pontiac Aztec.
