    Has anyone put LEDs in the GI on a gen1? I want to brighten up Space Shuttle but I think some of the GI is actually feature lamps (the inlane ones flash when the ball travels past). I imagine LEDs will look awful there. Me in a locomotion and I love them :)

    Heads up on Locomotion pinball. To change the settings "The Gen1 games use the Advance button two ways. From the door open, you're only going through the tests (1-5). To get to audits and settings, from game over, press the button on the CPU board (nothing obvious happens, just press it), then press Advance on the door. This takes you through audits and settings."

    I was playing Locomotion with the other half last night, the ball drained and when I looked up it looked as if the game had gone from 3 balls to play to 1 ball to play. It had skipped an entire ball, for both of us. I remember the ball draining fast, like it often does but nothing else untoward. The next two games played normally. What would cause it to skip a ball for both players? Is this even possible?

    How do you folks align your flippers? It's something I'm very particular about. On my locomotion I have them so it's a straight line from ball guide along the flipper rubber but I wonder if they're supposed to be lower and aligned like classic Ballys where there's a straight line through the ball guide down the middle of the flipper. I noticed the left ramp on my loco is so hard to hit and I figure the flippers being lower would rectify this .

    I usually only LED the GI's on zacs. I seem to get random flicker for inserts in most of them. I think we discussed already several times about this subject and I repeat that with the right model of LED bulbs you don't have any flicker. I have fully moved to LED my Locomotion and my Farfalla and both look great! PS Having only GI's in LED doesn't really bring any added value to my opinion.

    i have locomotion. I think locomotion is the only one that uses that sound board. When the ball enters each station. The game makes the shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound, like a train putting on the air brakes at the first station. Then it's just the bell for each additional station. Then the chuff sound starts up again after going through all stations. The Shhhhhhhhhhhh sound is also when you first boot the game.

    I thought I'd fixed my unwanted horrible noise. I recapped some of the sound board hoping it would do something. I noticed C5 missing. The schematic says there should be a 27pf cap there but theres no evidence of one breaking off. Obviously I'm now in hope that this is the issue. Anyone with a locomotion or gen1 could you be so kind as to check your sound board to see if c5 is there? [att=6880346,2843876 caption=""] [att=6880346,2843877 caption=""]

    Electric cars are shit, we’ll eventually figure out that batteries are as bad for the environment as gasoline. We need fusion powered locomotion

    Hi, Another question: One of the EOS Flipper switches is broken on my Locomotion. Is there a recommended/suitable replacement part? I can't find one specifically for a Zaccaria, but parts for other machines do look similar, e.g : https://pinparts.co.uk/products/180-5018-early-data-east-eos-switch-subs-for-wms-10a-8 Would something like this work? Thanks, Wayne.

    Hi All, I'm new to the Zaccaria club, having purchased a couple of machines requiring work (Locomotion and Space Shuttle). I'm currently looking at the Locomotion, slowly working through the issues. I have a question with regards the scoring. Every time I hit the flipper buttons (left or right), the score increases by 500 points. Is this normal? Seems like it shouldn't be. Thanks! Wayne.

    Is anyone playing Half Life Alyx? Post #90 in topic

    Posted over 4 years ago by illpoet – in Arcade and video games ‐ Last reply over 4 years ago

    This motion sickness concerns me. How bad is it with Alyx? My Rift didn't bother me too much unless it was a bad rated experience. It's not bad at all if you use teleport to move around. I have a friend that gets bad vrsickness and she was just fine using teleport to get around. She couldn't do the locomotion style of movement at all though.

    Escalara- Pros & Cons Post #262 in topic

    Posted over 4 years ago by Jarson – in Tools & Supplies ‐ Last reply over 4 years ago

    Well, the curse of owning an Escalara finally struck me this morning as my brother called to help him move a 500+ pound fireproof filing cabinet from an estate sale. Involved going up stairs, down stairs and up a ramp. Worked like a charm. Boy those things are heavy! Does the escalera provide locomotion while on a ramp? I'm considering renting one to go up a truck ramp for a house move.

    Posted this in a FB page too Hi All We are just about to put an order in for a load of parts that we need for out Locomotion and then remembered we have the Firepower also to do. This is tucked away in the spare room behind a load of stuff so would be a pain in the arse to get out to see about the coil sleeves. Would someone be able to help out and say yup these are the ones you are looking for and the number required so we can order them at the same time and save on P&P Please

    Posted over 4 years ago by wolffcub – in Restoration questions ‐ Last reply over 4 years ago

    WOW yes very interested but what sort of files/pictures etc would you require as we have just a Firepower/Fan-Tas-Tic and Locomotion in our personal collection that we would like to look nice That locomotion looks like it’s possibly applied with a silk screen. Hard to tell from the online pictures I see. It looks too detailed to be a free floating stencil, but I could be wrong.

    I was looking at the Locomotion before pics after populating the back board with new bulbs and noticed that some are round and most are not. Looked on the Firepower and again some are round and most are not. Are the round ones different and are they is strategic places and need to replaced with like for like?[att=5604580,1961604 caption=""]

    Slow Blow - Fast Blow - No Blow! Post #5 in topic

    Posted over 4 years ago by Quench – in Tech: Generic ‐ Last reply over 4 years ago

    just need to work out the Locomotion ones See the fuses mentioned here - they all appear to be fast blow: http://www.zaccaria-pinball.com/gen1/repairs.html Generally speaking, when a circuit requires a slow blow fuse it will be specifically stated. If there's no mention of slow blow or fast blow then fast blow is presumed. Looking at the schematic of the Locomotion power board, those fuses all look like fast blow based on the circuit design.

    Hello, Enjoy this restoration. I have almost finished my locomotion but got stuck for lack of time, I need to restart it again and finally close it. But I didn't do all you did, I tent to remain a bit more conservative and remove less elements while cleaning. I still need to fix a problem with the left flipper which doesn't have strong kick, need to clean the door and the reassemble it. Electronics are up and running. Gianfri

    Down south somewhere I think I saw it on Gumtree. The legs looked like they had been shortened to me, but it might have just been the photo angle. Let me know if you need any bits - I've got a sh*tload of Zac stuff and a spare Locomotion playfield. Cheers

I have 24 Zacs altogether, but have a games room I've just built that has eight of them.[quoted image][quoted image] Nice collection we might get there one day :-) We are on our first Locomotion and it's fire up day today so looking forward to that...gulp
