Happy to join the redhead fan club. Found this machine in the bulk waste. Took some time, but now works and looks fine.

Strikes and Spares was my first pinball machines about 4 years ago. I let it ago in the anticipation of buying and selling to have and try new things. Regretted it. Picked up quite the project.

Question: Anyone have a paint code for the cabinet yellow? I want to use a cabinet paint for the base and can colour match if I have a code that's been successful out there.

Just joined the club - always wanted one because of the background of the backglass - I really like the guy pouring beer onto the table. Anyhow, the machine is located quite a distance from me, so when I clean it, I want to make sure I bring the correct rings. Is the manual accurate? Here's what it says:
3/4" - 2
1" - 2
2" - 2
2 1/2" - 2
5/16" 21
Flippers - yellow

Are these numbers correct? Thanks

Funny to hear somebody praise this Backglas for a reason that is not the long-legged redhead lady.

But, but, its because of her that he is spilling the beer....

I've just listed my Strikes and Spares in Central Ohio. Excellent back glass, everything else is average, needs some love.

Yeah, I’d call that playfield average

Approx what would it cost to have the play field restored properly? Any recommendations in Ohio? I might just have to keep it if it looks sweet again.

Quoted from Pinplayer1967:

They sell a flexible LED that really pops with brightness. I use them under all star rollovers

Red yoppsicles work great

Most didn't know why Strikes and Spares was such a hit even without having a licensed theme. Here's the scoop:

Just added Titan rubbers clear with lite blue flipper ,red yopps under roll overs and credit, blue and warm white yopps under the rest.

Can any one name these two components of the top roller over switches and if they have new replacements.
thanks from Niall

Top photo: 1N4004 diode.
Bottom photo: .05 microfarad ceramic disc capacitor. Those appear to be original parts. So, they're 46+ years old.

#117 10 months ago

Do you think i should be changing the diodes as well as the capacitors

No. Clip off one lead of the capacitor and see if it cures whatever the issue is that you are having.....

#119 10 months ago

Perfect no problems after clipping a leg of capacitor many thanks

#120 10 months ago

Part reference number from Marco is 5043-09030-00 if anyone else is looking to replace caps

You may experience that very short hits of targets may no longer be recognized.

Agreed, my suggestion was to help troubleshoot since there was no problem description.

So, bad cap. However, Bally rollover switches are not usually susceptible to issues with a removed cap.

#123 10 months ago

Its been fine with out the cap still scoring on fast shots. Going to order some caps anyway ."All good "

I'm selling mine in case anyone is interested. There's a Pinside market ad for it, complete with pics.

#130 54 days ago

I bought a bunch of caps and replaced quite a few, the top rollover that had the bad cap played up again after replacing cap twice.It tested ok then went to play a game same thing happens again continual scoring ,so cut the cap and left it like that no problems, wondering if it has something to do with new alltek board or maybe its time to repin all the plugs on the boards.
