Quoted from pinchamp:

Thinking about picking up a Suoerman. Wonder what things to look at/for when I go view. What would any current owners suggest? Should I be worried about the lack of available parts?
Doesn’t get much love on the Pinside ratings list and I have never played it but it looks fine from the layout.

It can take some scavenging to find Atari parts. Some are available, a few have been remade (such as coils), and some pop up on ebay occasionally.

If boards are missing or in rough shape, you will have to look long and hard for replacements. The backglass is unavailable, but I think bgresto.com remakes it (but without the mirroring). Cabinet stencils are available from pinballpimp.com.

Quoted from RonP:

Out of the blue, after a hour of play today, I sprayed the coin mechanisms with quick drying Electronic Cleaner Spray”.

Why?

Did you spray it with the game powered up?

Did anything else get misted or sprayed?

Check all the wiring for the coin door (and anywhere else that might have been sprayed) and make sure there is no residue that was left behind.

Quoted from DRDAVE:

(This is a repeat of a fix from earlier in this thread. Repeated here for emphasis.)
*FIX FOR GI FUSE BLOWING*
I had this EXACT problem as well. After I had replaced all the lighting (incl GI) with #44 instead of #47 which was installed at the factory for a reason.
Putting an amp meter in series with the GI fuse reveals that the 44's in the GI pull 11 amps. So no wonder that it blows the slow blow 10 amp fuse after bit when it warms up enough to do so. After all it is a slow blow fuse of course.
The fix is to go ALL #47's or go LED. If going LED make sure the stay alive switch is set to OFF then they won't flicker.
Hope that helps!

Just to add so folks don't misread or make assumptions--don't use a standard multimeter on a circuit that is expecting 10amps or greater. Multimeters are typically rated for a maxiumum of 10 amps, so putting a multimeter on a 10+ amp circuit will likely blow the fuse inside the multimeter.

An amp meter is a different tool than a standard multimeter, and depending on the model, can usually safely handle 100amps or more.
