    I confess the most fun I ever had playing pinball was with the 4th worst SS game per the Pinside ratings: Raven. I was in my 20s (mid 1990s) and it was my first machine ... $350 was all I could afford, but it was in amazing shape and never gave me a single issue except for an occasional burned out bulb. My friends (yes even the ladies) would come over, drink some brews, play over and over, and laugh at the ridiculous backglass image. But hell it was fun. Raven is a guilty pleasure game

    Is there a reason to collect the medallion from the Raven Bar other than just for points? Does it advance anything or is there something progressive? It would be cool if before you could start the wizard mode, you had to collect the headpiece, the staff, and then correctly set the height of the staff. “They’re digging in the wrong place!” :o

I don't have Triple Play, but the Raven manual (1986), which is also System 80B and only one year after your game shows switch numbers on the playfield page listed out with their physical locations.

    Hey Guys, I revived a totally dead Gottlieb raven, replaced chips, piggy back resoldered, etc.. Also the memory was toast, so i installed a new Z5 ram chip, test says Ok and it keep high score. The only weird thing is that after the machine is turned off and On again, names are screwed up, Like NFR > NF6 , MSE > MS, NFR> KU4 also the scores do not add up anymore. Could this be a corrupt chip, or can anything else cause this ? Thanks in advance.

    I really like this game and have had big scores, but always wondered if it had multi-ball? I see it does now from this thread, but It must be hard cause I’ve never gotten it and played it a lot. It came out in a time where a lot of games didn’t have multi-ball such as Gottlieb victory and Raven, Williams comet/cyclone/bad cats, I guess why I assumed this. What is the multi-ball strategy?

    It depends on what you look for (or don't look for) in pins. Here's my take: Oldest to newest: Bingo machines, Toro, Big Ben, Raven, BBBB, thunderbirds.

    They don't make replacements! Not that I see anyway. I have a Gottlieb Raven in fair shape, trying to revive it. But battery damage, board is no good. Do see a post from 4 months ago w some suggestions, not confident in modifying a system 80/80A board (unless have to). Who has an oem board or replacement. Anyone?

    Hardware question (80B reset board) Post #2 in topic

    Posted 12 months ago by Knxwledge – in Tech: Alpha-numeric ‐ Last reply 11 months ago

    That plug was for the reset board, which is worthless. It was apparently created because games were locking on while on locations BITD. All it does now is cause problems, so it should be unplugged. Welcome to Pinside. If Raven is your first pin Im excited for you/Im sorry for you. Gottliebs can be headaches but I started on a Gottlieb System 80 so it's doable
