  So, for anyone who's shopped an Elektra and had trouble getting the bulbs out from the sockets that are deep in the plexiglass. Here's a cool trick my friend suggested. Get some 10mm diameter heat shrink tubing. Place it around the bulb and shrink it. Then give it a few minutes to completely cool off. They pull right out after that.

  You don’t see anyone talking big about the sledge hammer proof playfields… only just recently heard about a delaminating issue which is troublesome. I have an Elektra and love the way it plays but for all the hassle I’m sure a nice normal clear coated playfield would’ve sold these just fine. Ability to use BW replacement parts would be a better selling point imho.

  Wondering if anybody has ran across this issue: On my lower pf during Elektra time, the ball will kick out into play the first time, but it will not retrigger the coil when the ball drains and time is left. It was working just fine until I cleaned the lower pf recently. I’ve adjusted the switch multiple times and even swapped the coil (only because I had one on hand). Bumping the machine to retrigger the switch doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  Finally making progress on my Elektra! It's alive!! Needed an Alltek and SDB rebuilt. Anyone have any tips for removing bulbs from the topside? Those buggers are hard to get a grip on with the clear plastic playfield cover.

  What 6th display are you referring to? There are only 5 displays in the game. The display that shows the Elektra units. Only uses the middle two digits of a 6 digit display. So Elektra has four 7 digit displays and two 6 digit displays. Similar to my Mr and Mrs Pacman. That also has four 7 digit and two 6 digit displays.

  It looks like the schematics for Elektra may be wrong. When looking them over I see the 4 player displays and the credit display shown. I don't see where the 6th display for the Elektra units is shown or how that is connected.

  Has anyone run into an issue with the 7-digit Wolffpac displays show the most significant digit on the left bright and the rest of the 6 digits dimmer? Otherwise working and displaying score. Triple checked the correct 100 ohm resistors on the display board and measured them. Happens on each of the 7-digit displays tested. Built these for an Elektra that works ok with original displays.
