Mystic does not seem to get the love as some of the other early Bally's do. . . but I really like mine.

Drop targets, spinners, kickout saucer, captive ball. . . plus several different strategies to shoot for at once.

My playfield is a bit worn, hoping a replacement or even a hardtop comes available someday.

Just noticed that CPR has Mystic Playfields "In Production" on their website. . . maybe it was always there but now I have more reason to pay attention.

My playfield has quite a bit of wear so I will be glad for the option. Count one more sign up for preorder.

Trying to get my Mystic presentable enough to take to the Ohio Pinball Show next month. Pulled the drop mechs to give everything a good cleaning -- a before/after pic of the drop targets:

Also just finished installing a new rectifier board from PBR. The old one had several wiring hacks and I was experiencing complete loss of GI.

Can I ask a favor to anyone with a Mystic Manual with the schematics? I've been using a Silverball Mania manual and it has worked thus far, but I doubt the playfield inserts are the same.

My 3X Bonus lamps were not working, yet test fine with a direct lamp test under the playfield. Trying to trace the path back to the lamp driver board and would like to know which J connector and pin on that connector are specific to those (3X) inserts.

Thanks for any help!

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Fixed my issue by tracing wires.

When I had bought this game the GI was not working. Somehow I did not notice this until after I had it home -- amazing what gets overlooked when the excitement of obtaining a new pin kicks in. The old rectifier board looked rough. The GI connectors were burned and the wires had been removed/soldered directly to the pins on the back of the board. A new board from Pinball Resource is now in place:

The new board and repining connectors (everywhere!) fixed my lack of Illumination!

I also made a new light baffle for the eye/pyramid lights on the backbox panel. The original (sitting on/above my new piece in the picture) stuck out far enough that it actually made significant contact with the backglass -- so much that it put pressure on the glass when it was installed. I thought taking the stress of the glass might be a good idea. . . if nothing else it makes me feel better.

Must have played 20? 30? games in the last two or so days. Hard to walk away!

Still have several things on the to do list. Next up will be updating the 5V and High Voltage components on the Solenoid Driver Board.

Quoted from Scott9:

Doc - I have a manual at home that came with the machine I bought on craigslist. I can scan and email you the pages tomorrow. I had no idea that there was an issue with the GI board when I sold you the machine.

Not a problem at all. Fixing them up is one of the things I like. Don't worry about the scans, I was able to get everything all worked out. Welcome to Pinside and glad to hear you are enjoying your "new" game!
