Hi folks - have an Atlantis tech question. I have several lamp sets on my Atlantis, like the CJ11-11 and CJ11-4 (Extra ball and One Million) that both go on together when the first of the set is selected in Test mode, and neither go on when the second lamp of the set is tested. I am an electronics engineer, but was hoping someone could give me some direction as to where to start to troubleshoot this. Does not appear to be a wiring problem. If one of the control SCRs is bad would it cause this behavior? Thanks!

I am now part of the club since I just bought an Atlantis yesterday. It's a very fun game and saved my from being a pin-free home.

congrats. GREAT game!!! Classic fun and the right amount of challenge.

I have asked my wife to dress up as one of the backglass chicks for halloween some year.

Make sure she does not try and get away with not riding a dolphin

I was thinking I would dress up as the dolpin

AH! A halloween costume with porpoise

Pictures or it didn't happen!!!

One issue I am having right now is the right flipper sticks up when activated. Usually the ball hitting it makes it fall back down (or sometimes it just goes down by itself). It stays up when the machine is powered down, so I assume it is mechanical. What would be the best things to check out?

I am looking for the L3 Roms for Atlantis. According to John Wart's website, he doesn't currently offer this era of Bally Roms. Anyone else have them that I can purchase?

Action Pinball sells them...

Or maybe give your general location and someone local can help you out.

My periscope is rising...

Yeah, I ended up taking everything apart, cleaned the coil sleeve and re-assembled. It has been working good since.

I have another issue where occasionally a game will end in the middle of a ball (flippers go dead, lock balls release, etc.). In a multiplayer game it ends all games regardless of what ball everyone was on. I just installed an NOS MPU and the problem still will occur occasionally. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction. I found a website that goes over some things to look for on the power supply when this happens. I will do some more investigating.

got any good pics of the shipping damage?

can someone tell me the pinouts to the wire connector that goes to the backback gi relay? pix would be great as well.

also, even if i put target setting at 0, it still always has the first 2 locks already lit upon game start. any other way to make it start out with no locks lit?

the above doesnt work, even with normal factory percentage on, i played 50 games in a row with glass off and got multiball each game. no change at all.

ill check this one for code... and thx so much for the help.

The ramp flap is not complete on left ramp. Ball gets stuck sometimes between broken flap and ramp b alls enter to go into lock. When I install new flap, does flap 20150924_114355.jpggo OVER the next ramp OR UNDER the next ramp it goes to?20150924_114407.jpg

thx sir..

I read real good and accidentally ordered a Bally Atlantis rubber kit instead of gottlieb. Anyone want to buy this thing off me?

Just became a member last night. Really enjoying this pin!

It looks like John has them listed on his Ebay page though. Is the ROM file on IPDB the latest (Rev. 3) version? I have Rev. 2 as well and would like to upgrade.

Check out the thumbnail on the right hand side of the eBay screencap. It was the result of a search for "pinball cabinet decals".

Atlantis art must be "available" in the form of overseas, off-licence knockoffs--but I can't find them on eBay for the life of me. Maybe they are like those Mousin' Around decals from Serbia that appear once and a while...

Just have to catch them before they get pulled?

Can someone please post a pic of their center drain plug assembly, can't figure out how this is supposed to assemble... diagram isn't overly helpful.

Thanks! That part is not listed in the diagram, the L-shaped bracket which sits between the two posts... I have the rest, just not that bracket....

Time to see what parts I can dig up...

If someone has insert decals for this pin can they please pm me. Thanks in advance.

I just became a member yesterday. I'm really looking forward to fixing up this game and getting it playing again!

Would anyone know where I could buy a new ramp flap from? Thanks!

Would anyone have a rubber ring list for Atlantis?

I missed the rubber list in the manual but have them on order now!

Hey all, fun group! Just became a member this weekend! Here she is. Spent the weekend shaking out a ramp microswitch wire that rattled loose on the drive back with the machine. Now it seems to be playing 100% except for some insert lights that will not light. The weird thing is that some of them flash in attract mode. One example is the left outlane special light which does not light in test mode, but it does light in attract mode but when the orange flashers are flashing (not when the inserts are flashing like it is supposed to be). Realy weird. Anyways, very happy to be a member. This game is awesome!

Thanks for the info! I will go through the manual procedure as you recommend. "Tough Dog" lamp issues. Lol!

That looks absolutely unreal! Nice work! Did you put new cabinet decals?

Yes , new cab decals.

Awesome, I will have to keep an eye out for those. At some point, I would like to redo my PF and cabinet.

Just got mine up and running. I have a couple of questions. The ball saver seems to be up most of the time. Is this correct? Also, when the ball lands in the up kicker for the right ramp/rail.. it sits there for almost a minute before it fires. Its almost like the ramp tries to reset... I dont know what the expected behavior is.

Have you tried a switch test to make sure your switch for the up-kicker/saucer registers? As far as the ball saver drain plug, mine is up and down with game play. Could be another switch issue...

figured out my main insert lighting issue. the connector was connected to the wrong header location on the board. love easy fixes! now i just have a few bulbs out but at least the correct ones are trying to light now!
