  Gottlieb Jumping Jack pop bumpers machine gunning Post #2 in topic

  Posted 124 days ago by dgAmpGuy – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 111 days ago

  DC pops are more powerful. The regular AC pops can do that for a while, more so when the game is high tapped. I see similar behavior in our Williams Skylab, if you get the ball in the right spot. Those are DC coils as well. You could try larger rings to get less bounce, but that changes your chances of saving the ball from draining as well. Just my two cents based on the behaviors I’ve seen on two games that I’ve rehabbed. Good luck, Dave

Cab is solid, but somebody put some fiberglass on the bottom and moved the toggle switch inside the coin door. Obviously can be undone. Playfield is in pretty great shape, no broken plastics. I was able to find a Lucky Ace head to go with it to maybe Frankenstein them together. No legs.

  Posted 15 months ago by Murphdom – in Restorations documented ‐ Last reply 137 days ago

  At least Williams was smart enough to realize that the red flipper rubber on red flippers looked ugly and changed it on Stratoflite. On Skylab and SpaceLab it’s red. The yellow looks way better. I’m going to experiment with turquoise or purple on my two spacelab conversions that I’m doing when I get to that point. Sorry purists.

  Williams Skylab credit setting Post #1 in topic

  Posted 23 months ago by Geofflove – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 23 months ago

  I’ve just picked up a Skylab. Not too much work and it’s all working. However I note that when putting a coin in rather than adding a credit to the credit count it just starts a new game. I’ve not bothered much with coin mechs in the previous game I’ve worked on. Is this a jones plug setting that chooses whether it starts a new game or adds a credit or something else?

  The EM seeking parts thread. Post #6925 in topic

  Posted over 2 years ago by DropTarget – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply yesterday

  OK, Not really an EM part but..... I'm putting new rings on my newly acquired Skylab. Williams used some odd sizes, most of which I can get by with by using a "close enough" replacement. However, one size I need is 2-5/16" I don't see a 2-1/4 on Steve's site, just 2 or 2-1/2. I guess 2-1/2 is closest. Do you think that would be too large? The real issue is that the machine calls for a 6" ring, which I don't see on the usual sites. Does anyone know if / where they can be had? Thanks

  Hi All, I just set up my "new" Skylab. During the startup sequence, the score reels reset, but the score motor keeps running while the ball count unit keeps stepping along with an unlabeled relay in the back box (furthest on the right of the score reel relays). I don't have much experience with Williams start up issues. Any thoughts where to start (no pun intended). Thanks

  So what is the difference between Skylab and Spacelab? Are they the same game with variants on the backglass?

  Holy shit where did you find that amazing rare piece that all in the hobby are clamoring to own and show off as the crown jewel of their collections?!?! That thing might be worth hundreds of dollars! I saw your prior “Skylab” posts, all overwhelmingly positive. Judging by the game pricing on your website, I’d say it’s probably worth a few grand. :wink:

  While restoring a Skylab I took apart the chimes to clean them and found everything in that part of the pinball covered in metal dust. One of the plungers has lost its nylon cap and had been striking the chime bar metal on metal. I’m amazed at the damage it caused. Alberto[att=5444002,1873838 caption=""]

  Extra scoring mod Post #7 in topic

  Posted over 3 years ago by TheLaw – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply over 3 years ago

  Random thoughts - The real issue is what are the scoring options going to be and how does that affect balance. With Jubilee/Skylab all the points are in the bonus. So are the new targets going increase the bonii and max out too quick, Or will they be added points that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things becasue they don't change bonus? Maybe a spinner that's tied to the 300 score saucers would make it worth it...but I don;t know.
