What led me there was fact that the photo was so big and such hi-res and the photo file's name, and his avatar that it was likely a photo from his personal pin collection. concentrated on High Speed, Police Force and Whirlwind and the Pinbots looking for the special insert, before i got distracted.

I’ll find out soon enough (again) lol That Special Force looks like it would be more fun than many modern pins of the last few years and only ~$2K. I finally put my $1k down on TBL too.

Ahh, nice. Yeah, old playfields are a goldmine for cheap mechs, done that a couple of times myself.

  Update...Fish Tales and Special Force sold already.- will probably bring Victory, Hook, Ripleys and Motordome for free play in my booth. The only one that is surely for sale is the Motordome. Not sure if I will hang a price on any of the others yet. Also will have rivets, stretch wrap and deodorant available along with ramps, of course. If you would like me to hold specific ramps for you, please PM me your want list and I will be sure to have them there for you.

Guess I'll just leave it folded up and ready to load for this years show. See you all in 95 days!

  Ok good to know...that microchip switch out was nerve wrecking!...wasn't easy alining in the microchip prongs to install them in either....jeesh...plus also needed a good amount of force to push them in, and couldn't use prying technique to help like i was able to use pulling them out. Glad I dont need to go through that again (I know they sell the special socket add ons with levers too) Was worth it just for ball save feature alone in PEMBOT though, as after I tested it. Thanks again for the insight.

  Posted 15 months ago by barakandl – in Tech: Early solid state ‐ Last reply 9 days ago

  A friend had pretty bad luck with LEDs in a 6803 to the point some LEDs flickered so bad they didn't even switch on sometimes. But we hadn't got into adding load resistors, even then I was skeptical with the half wave. However I have read here some have had good results with LEDs though. Hopefully kuhurdler's board works fine. There are at least two different operating systems for 6803 that behave differently with LEDs. The one used in special force works okay with LEDs. Eight ball champ was really bad.
