Just joined the club and loving the game. One issue though. The bash hits to the stage are not registering. I'm also getting an switch error for the front stage, which makes sense. What's the best way to troubleshoot this. I'm wondering if the opto is positioned correctly? It looks like it may be facing the rubber. Maybe that's causing the issue? Any help is appreciated.

Quoted from bobukcat:

Did you check the wires to both optos to make sure one didn't break off in shipping?

I lifted the playfield and the wires are connected. I cleaned the optos and during cleaning it will intermittently register the switch, but doesn't seem to work otherwise. Maybe the opto is bad? or the connection is loose? I pushed all the connectors in on the board.

Quoted from bobukcat:

Price should depend on how many of the upgrades have been done if necssary. Power supply and capacitor upgrades are very important, knocker is pretty much a must-have on this game but that can be added easily, shaker is a nice to have and magic glass is just icing on the cake but something I put in all my games with a relatively small collection.

When you say capacitor upgrade, do you mean the flipper coil upgrade or something else?

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Looks like the site expired on the 27th. It’s still being held by the registrar service but it’s going to be expensive now

Seems like their registrar has a 30 day grace period.
"Domain name registration expires: If the domain has not been renewed by the owner prior to the expiry date, the domain’s status will be changed to what is called a Renewal Grace Period. Under this status, you can still renew the domain name without incurring additional fees for a grace period of thirty days. "

honestly though, auto-renew with updated CC info, and a good email address...

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Wow, I need to move our sites over to this registrar. GoDaddy and Register.com screw you over big time

Yeah, I use Bluehost and I think they charge 100 to 250 if you let it lapse.
