Quoted from gliebig:What does GI stand for? Sorry, new to this. So many abbreviations to learn on this site.
General Illumination; all the bulbs that light up the playfield. The other lights or controlled/insert lights are the ones under the playfield inserts
Having issues with some flashers not working or being weak...I'll have to check if the power is low.
Got a question for you all. I noticed yesterday that i have 2 flashers that are not working. The are in the middle of the PF, red dome on left by slam ramp, and 89 under PF by the upper flipper.
Neither of these work, and I also noticed they don;t have a section to test them in the single flasher test....what's up with that?

Quoted from gliebig:I didn't mess with that one. Seemed like to much trouble to get to just to change a color.
It's actually a diff'rent shape.
Quoted from gliebig:Interesting. Mine must have been replaced with a regular post sleeve. Should I replace it? Does it make a difference?
From what I've seen it's rarely actually on machines...usually like yours, and mine, people just put a normal on that they have lying around. I would replace it when you can just to get it to stock. I haven't even replaced mine yet...need a couple minutes to get it in there

Quoted from gliebig:Fuse appears ok although I have no tool to test it. I can't seem to fix anything on these machines. Gets a bit frustrating.
Well put in another fuse to make "sure."
It DOES get frustrating at times no doubt. But you have to build your arsenal of tools that will help.
I cheap DMM could tell you if it's the fuse right away and take away some grief....sometimes anyway.
Don't worry, it'll come around 
Go into switch test most and then open & close the EOS switch of the upper flipper and see if it is registering....although EOS shouldn't matter that much...had an error like that for a long time...oh wait, I should probably get around to that

Quoted from gliebig:I do think I've found the culprit to my problems.
What causes something like that to happen?
Quoted from gliebig:Hmm. Good to know. I guess that's the same for the red, white and blue ones too?
Come on guys, you don't know the diff'rence betwixed a flasher 906 and a bulb 555? 
Quoted from gliebig:Looking to get some apron cards for the NGG. Where is a good place to them?
...flashers working again. New proper bulbs from cointaker installed.

Quoted from thall17:Just joined the club picking up a HUO with 87 plays.
In the package (goodie bag) that came with the machine there appears to be two half moon shaped piecies of I think mylar. Should they do under the ramp?
What a fun game! Have yet to complete 9 holes
Congrats! Although that is highly highly highly unlikely.
Mylar probably for front of slings...you don't need it.
Quoted from tmay:This is the exact issue I am facing. Did you ever find a fix for this problem?
Never had the problem but it would reason there's a switch down there that needs tweaking. It goes in putting green and does not activate switch, which is why it has to wait for the ball search. So go in switch test mode and try it out.
Quoted from Hogey:He is asking $3950. I played it a few games and enjoyed it. Is this price in line with the market for these in excellent condition?
Thanks.
It's all what the slam ramp damage is worth to you. Do you want one without damage? Of course, but you pay too steep a premium IMO. Usual games can be found around 3000 with some playfield divots, so basuically you're paying at least 700 for no damage in that area. The damage usually doesn't affect gameplay, so it's really an aesthetic thing.
NGG usually usually have nice cabinets and the PF are usually fine otherwise. For someone that owns one, it's not worth it to me.
Ha just kidding my man! 4 weeks later
Quoted from thall17:When replacing the decal on the spinner, does it simply peel off?

Quoted from sevenrites:I'm starting to get annoyed with the price gouging some of these "mod" people are coming up with.
Ha, these were actually the original mods that pissed me off, way before LEDs were the norm.
I always try to tell people it literally takes 2 pieces of wire, a cost of 2 cents, attach them to gi or the legs of twist in bulb holder.

Quoted from Robl45:Yes, you ideally want the older one as the gofers are ruder in the speech, but the older one doesn't have the option to kick out through the pop bumpers so you have it shooting SDTM all the time.
Oh fair enough I didn't know that.

Quoted from Robl45:Color DMD is nice, you are missing the flag and captive ball though.
Also have the incorrect yellow rubber/post sleeve on the post next to the right orbit, but of course this has to be the most common incorrect rubber ever.

Quoted from AndHart120:Thanks for the info! If I had a high quality scan of this I might be able to make one these better myself with label materials and laminate as long as I could color match.
Honestly I had gouges in mine and it never affected the gameplay once. Everyone's pinball happiness will be increased if you just don't sweat the small stuff.
