Hey guys!
Just got my Sea Raider yesterday and fairly happy with the condition. It's my first Midway machine which is definitely different from my 1969 Williams Phantom Gun so I need to get my learning curve up to speed. Interesting it uses a 12 volt system for the lamps instead of 6 volt so now I have to buy special lamps for it as you cannot use the regular 44/47 bulbs. I found out the 12 volt lamps run very hot like a 44 lamp, so I have bought 14 volt lamps #1815's from PBR which run cooler like a 47 lamp.
Anyone know the easiest way to replace the lamps on the light bar for the torpedo lights? It seems to replace all the lamps it would be best to take out the bar? Doesn't seem very convenient for an operator back in the day if that is the case.
Got an order in with PBR for the lamps, new cord, locks, and a schematic. I already got it rolling around on some 3" wheels which makes it a snap to move around to service.
The main issue I wish to resolve first is with the sound so I will need some parts and pictures from folks so I can get it repaired. As of now the Spring assembly for the Explosion sound is missing and the Whoosh and ping sounds are not working either, so no sound from anything. I can hear the amplifier through the speaker, but I know for a fact the cone is torn and speaker will be replaced. I also have a couple wires that have been taped together as seen in the pictures, so not sure what is up with that. I am missing the cover to the box for the sound system as well.
Please keep in mind that I know nothing of Solid State components so any help on that topic would have to be explained fully and simply. I am EM-PINMAN, not SS-PINMAN.
Thanks
Ken
