What is it?
Spare XPin
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Looks good! Everything arrive safely?
Very nerve wracking however it came better than excepted, hate buying sight unseen. The seller went well out of his way to ensure proper packing!
She arrived Friday, by Sunday installed the OCDLED all the bulbs changed the display(original perfect) changed to spare XPin. Attached her to a subwoofer.
My left flipper seems a little weak so will check it when I have sometime and the Cliffy's protectors came yesterday !
Hope all is well with you Chris?

Glad it went well for you! Things are ok. Was it hard to install the OCDLED board in the capcom?

Not at all ... The OCDLED is a breeze to put in , really made a huge difference in way the game looks, installed it in the pinball magic as well!

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure I want to tear wither apart just to add LED's at this point. Those sure were projects to shop out!

Did mine with out removing anything from the top ! No tear down required!
Quoted from transprtr4u:Did mine with out removing anything from the top ! No tear down required!
Yeah I have the LEDOCD in mine and there was no tear down required for switching to LEDs.....though those pop bumper caps can be a biatch to get to them screws!!!
Quoted from Pinballerchef:..though those pop bumper caps can be a biatch to get to them screws
Didn't get to them yet ... The only ones I didn't do.... Are the 555, 44/47's ????????
So you don't use LED's in the GI? I am confused

It's worth the effort. Especially with a bit of planning of bulb type, colour and positioning. Spotlights are a must too.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:So you don't use LED's in the GI? I am confused
You can use LEDs everywhere , the only thing you cannot change to LED is the flasher bulbs .. 89/906
Does anybody have/or can make a scan of the missile plastics that mount on each side of the ball lock jet?
Quoted from transprtr4u:Didn't get to them yet ... The only ones I didn't do.... Are the 555, 44/47's ????????
Honestly I can't remember....I'll have to check my manual.

All the GI lights can be reached from underneath the PF....except the pops and tower lights.
Trying to install a couple of LED light strips (backboard & apron ball lock) !
The issue I'm having is where I'm tapping from(GI) affects my light matrix, has anybody added extra lighting with no issues?

Yes I have installed a number of spotlights and LED strips including in the apron lock without issue.
Quoted from DMC:ave installed a number of spotlights and LED strips including in the apron lock without issue
Where did you get power for your apron ball eject? If I tap from the Lower GI my special lit always stays on ?
Pics would help ...
Quoted from transprtr4u:Where did you get power for your apron ball eject? If I tap from the Lower GI my special lit always stays on ?

I will have a look and get back to you. I do know that I had to connect the LED strip wires to a particular two of the three possible tabs on the GI bulb. Otherwise the strip would stay lit. Pretty sure I connected it to the green insert to match behaviour of that insert - so not GI in that instance. I’ve got about 12 extra lights connected on my Airborne and all is okay.
Quoted from DMC:I will have a look and get back to you.
Much appreciated
Quoted from transprtr4u:Much appreciated
Okay so do you mean the ball lock? That area I lit using power from the green lock insert right next to it. I will check where it took power from for the shooter lane/eject area. Pretty sure it will be the closest GI - under the right ball guides. I also found that you can’t connect any wires to the tab with the diode band connected - just the other tabs. Then the connected led will behave the same as the light it powered from.
Quoted from DMC:. I also found that you can’t connect any wires to the tab with the diode band connected - just the other tabs. Then the connected led will behave the same as the light it powered from.
Perhaps that's the issue, will try that ... Assuming you are running of the "lock ball " light then your kick back lane only lights up when the "lock ball " is lit?
That's for your time...
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Looks great
Love my Capcoms!
Quoted from transprtr4u:Love my Capcoms!
Me too! 
Unfortunately I have or have had all the Capcom machines I can afford Might look into getting another Flipper Football. That was an interesting one for sure.
For now, I am lucky to have what I do. And if you have a keen eye, you can see into the future.........

Nice one posted in the market! Was going to reach out but my distro made me pay for my Houdini and with our crappy dollar I'm $9600 in the hole!
You have some great games Chris, hope you resolve your TOTAN issues!
Quoted from AttilaK:. any idea where I can buy this or anyone here have some extra parts
$95.00 at Pinball Spare Parts Australia
Quoted from AttilaK:pretty expensive
Don't think so the Canadian dollar is better the Australian dollar .. So with your dollar shouldn't be so bad!
Quoted from AttilaK:Guys, I just picked up an airborne and it came with no mechanism for the lock bar. Also, the backbox to lock the glass/translite in place is missing ... any idea where I can buy this or anyone here have some extra parts
You may find that the Capcom receivers are the same as other brands. Perhaps Sega? In any case see if you can compare some online pictures and you may be able to get something from the US that does the job.
Quoted from john17a:looking at picking up a airbourne soon i already know of a few plastics broken has anyone got some spare plstics that they would part with
thank you
Pinball Spare Parts Australia has some of the plastics. Marco used to as well, but I am nt sure anymore. Do you know whick plastics are broken? If you search on PSPA's site, make sure you search Capcom and not just Airborne, as not all the stuff comes up when searching specific games (I found that out first hand).

Ah what a bugger. You could try PinBertl who had a few parts a while back. He’s in Austria if pspa is no good.

Is there a direct flasher in this game that works only in Multiball?
Trying to incorporate a topper idea that will function only in multiball!

Let me guess. A rotating beacon? I don’t think there is but I’ll keep an eye out on my game for you.

Any ideas would help !
