Love the coat!

Quick question for you all... do the heads of these AG games come off? I see the hinges, but didn't know the options for the head, as some Jeep Cherokees still don't fit the game with it folded.

Thanks!

For literary reading and history:

I'd like to find me one of those books.

I will scanning the article for my reference archives in the future.

Thank you that’s awesome for you to do. Anything I can find to better understand the company story, design intentions and history behind my mystery castle is super intriguing to me.

Quoted from MattElder:

Just found and purchased over 200 items that were from the Alvin G & Co. factory offices

Matt - of course you did haha. That’s an amazing haul man.

Quoted from MattElder:

Thank you, Dave! How’s the MC playing?
I’m always happy to see that others have a great interest in the company as well. If I get a chance before Christopher has time to do it, I’ll unframe that mag and snap a few pics of that article and email them to you and post them here.

Loving it! Such a unique game, and it plays fast and fun.

Although, since we're talking AG & Co. tech troubleshooting, I'll share here to see who has some insight...

I did recently start blowing fuse F15 upon startup, which protects the left/right sling kicker coils and the knocker coils. It's a 2amp slo-blo that sits along the left side of the head's cabinet, in a vertical line of fuses there. I noticed that when I replace the fuse, turn the game on, the right kicker locks on in the forward position, and then falls back down once the fuse goes. I'm not sure if it's a switch issue that maybe I adjusted something and now it's not happy, or a transistor issue.

Quoted from Damonator:

Sounds like a blown transistor - I think a switch issue would cause a single kick, not a solid hold on the coil.

That’s what I’m thinking too. I messed with it slightly, then got super busy with work and traveling the last two weeks. Come Monday I plan to roll the sleeves up and dig in.

The slings register sounds and points, just no coil action.
