slowly getting my Big Game together. got the new insert boards and a DIY display kit from pinitech. waiting on comet order.

could someone get me the dimensions for the playfield glass? don't have one for my cab and need to get one cut locally. thanks.

anyone got a solution to flickering sockets. reflowed the pins and re pinned the connector and I still have a handful of lights that wont stay solid. I'm using the led adapter boards, possible I got bad diodes or something on those. other than that I got td his thing up and going finally and looks great.

guess I'll do some tinkering and see if I can figure this out. dont want to add resistors bc it shouldn't need them.

definitely the board after checking everything. I'm using stock with adapters not alltek.

ordered a scr kit so all should be good

any idea what the metal brackets were for on the flyer? never noticed until recently

might want to get nvram or battery pack bc I didnt have those in. so even if u setup replay levels it wont save it. i know if u have no batteries in the settings become super weird with replay lvs. the knocker works It was disconnected bc I was working on the game late a night and didnt want it waking the neighborhood up lol

man those look better than the wire guide, wonder why they aren't common. looks like it will fix the ball hop.

you could cut off that tab and use a spade bolt where the wire guide hole is. just gotta drill the hole bigger. would look cleaner but that's a lot for some inlanes

I'm not a fan of the acrylic overlays. gets dirt trapped between it and playfield and eventually it starts to just look horrible. we had one on a hobbit le and after a year or so on location it looked super hazy, had like coil dust trapped everywhere. the ball also is more floaty feeling on it as it tends to slide then roll but in the long run it does save the art etc so it's a toss up imo

Catacomb is good, u should go to GG and play it first though, it's a weird one just walking up to it. I like that I'm not one of the only ones here in nash on the 80s stern bandwagon. I'm still workin on convincing Jason to let me pf swap that quicksilver....one day

there is a BG for sale on FB

def not a $800 machine anymore. I remember F14 and Meteors going for 300 bc no one wanted them. crazy times

exciting times man

well it seems I'm back in the club once again lol. sucks new pfs r up in the air though. rip

probably the nicest original back glass I've come across so far

yea man, pretty crazy

lol

i will need to burn that code for the arcade here. I was talking to neo about possibly restoring my playfield, but man its kinda expensive. would be real coooool if new playfields were confirmed and not just a mystery right now.

looks nice!

sounds like there is a break in the white/red wire somewhere between the connector and the switch for the spinners. check continuity bc I assume everything else works except the spinners,and that wire only controls those from what it looks like

put my big game on location this week. I need to get the new code eventually, have a weebly in already. everyone here seems to like it so far, tournaments will be fun.

are there any updates on anyone reproducing anything for this game yet? I have a mint backglass but cpr wouldn't send me a box to ship it to em in and I'm not gambling on packing it myself in Hope's it would arrive ok.

My lower right flipper coil took a dump today. blows the main fuse when power is applied. all my flipper assemblies have the coil stop bolt holes drilled out. a OP had just ran a bolt with a lock nut. so guess its finally time to bite the bullet and order all new mechs and just replace everything. having to remove the whole assembly just to change a coil,sleeve,or coil stop is just ridiculous.

Had to pull my big game from bar bc the lower left flipper sheered the bolts on coil stop then broke the EOS causing the coil to burn out. FUN STUFF! going to just order all new assemblies bc some OP previously drilled out the coil stops and added bolt/nuts instead of the standard machine screws for all the flippers.

so I bought new brackets finally and rebuilt all 4 flippers. feels good again.

decided to use my kinda NOS plastic rings I've been saving for a while to rebuild my pops. excited to see the difference. hopefully it's more active in now

well I'm dumb, they fit but have half travel bc its not the plastic coil assembly lol. rip

if you happen to remember, please lmk lol. maybe a shorter plunger will work or swapping the coil bracket with a William's/bally bc it may give slightly more room idk. definitely dont feel like buying all new assemblies tho.

lol nah I will figure this out. was saving these for Dragonfist playfields.

So I want to remove the guides behind flippers and the posts in order to make it where you can get scissored, But only if it's possible to make the flippers stage. is this possible? what would be the best way to go about that? thanks.

I want to make it where u can only trap up if you are staging, if not you lose the ball through the flippers(scissored). I'm trying to make this game harder bc games tend to last longer than I'd like in a tournament setting here.

was thinking the upper would need to be adjusted lower to compensate for getting screwed lol.

yea makes sense, but would still be cool to see it in action with staging.

seen that there is a big game at TPF listed for $4250. crazy how this game has shot up in price apparently. I remember getting blasted 2 years ago for selling one for $2500.

I hope it sells as well lol. does look pretty clean from the picture, but pictures can be deceiving.

I have had good success with using 90% alcohol to get the green goo cleaned off connectors so I dont have to replace the housing.

I've owned 3 and they all had upper as main/primary and lower as secondary

looks nice!

my kickout works like 80% of the time, the other 20% it half kicks up like 3 or 4x before just hopping the plastic. kinda sucks when ur one letter away from spelling BIG to light spinner

yea I need to take it apart and see why it's doing that. I also need to get around to burning the new code. really want that spinner counter.

you should polish the trough, seems odd to do all that work and leave that dull looking.

they r def pink/purple for drops/extra score
