I know this is late but did you ever get around issue #2?

Thanks so much for the reply.

Another quick question for the BIG crew. What's supposed to happen when the drop targets fall? I'm to receive this game but the trader mentioned this issue and id like to know where I should start looking... apparently, its not doing or actovating the bonus multiplier?

No one have an issue with any of the switch triggers behind the drop banks?

I think when the drops all fall, and they are all down. Supposed to raise the bonus?

I will update you all once the machine arrives.

Really hoping this guy requires minimal needling.

Issues:

4th player display stopped working after moving the game...

Trouble shooting went like this:

Checked displays by visual exam,
No broken solder joints
No broken legs
No broken pcb
Checked pcb plug headers
Checked ribbon cable
Checked cable headers off power pcb, fuses, CPU pcb.

Swapped right to left display headers, result:
Right display plug top and bottom display on left side
Left display plug top lights on right side, bottom still out.

No faint dot on right lower display, in both cases.

Ideas?

Can anyone tell what the proper behavor is of the guard drop insert lights?

I guess they are to light in that left to right strobe pattern, and then they light if there is the only one standing?

Then they come on again after the drops are reset? Same pattern?

Is there a switch or continuity switches behind each of the drop targets that control the lights?

Check the switch and see if its actually dropping with the ball weighting on it. I read they occasionally come loose and get stuck on the side of the cut out.

Keep us updated!

At least that was a freebie.

I has to resolder the header pins on my drop target insert boards.

Subbed leds and it looks good and works properly now!!

Has anyone gone with LED displays?

Anyone try green?

Looking good!! Pulled the trigger so green will be in effect, soon. U guys have good suggestions for flicker free leds?

Oh I also got some other displays to solder in for my player 4. So now a fun project for the weekend so I can use either orange or green

Displays soldered in. Looking good.

Pics soon. Will look at coin taker. Not big on shipping costs.

I watch videos of players rolling this game rather easily... is it ever in tournaments?

If you traded it, what other system 11 is around d the same value?

Oooh, thanks for the feedback guys, nice to know the game is pretty scaleable. Right now I'm trying to get better at those trolls at the top of the game... as well as figure out what to use for alternate drop target decals.... mine didn't have any.

Also is there a gi bulb in the upper left corner under all those plastics? Under the playfield I see what looks to be a socket but its pretty inaccessible unless a left side teardown is on deck.

Haha thanks much!! Looks like the one behind that upper left corner is ONLY accessible with a tear down which is what I forced myself into last night. I also turned around some of the lower bulb holders to aim at the center upper part of the pf. Results are very impressive and it really shows-off the ball mid-air!!

Additional benefit is the visibility of the yellow stand ups for the troll bonus.

Also polished the ramp plastics to improve visibility back therr but they really show too well in this picture but the illumination really helped.

Thanks man, gonna check out that little led strip mod you did for the cannons. You are bang on in that those should stand out more.

Check out what's hiding behind the drops. Polished plastics look clearer in real life oddly..

You guys with multiple machines, do you notice big guns a bit harder to nudge as its just heavier?

Had a couple episodes with the fanthom odd ball unlock, but trying to figure out if its the trough switches or the left canon... aside that, waiting for leds.

Has days of no issues and then I had the ball lock hunt 2x in 2 days.m

I think the switches were too sensitive. I adjusted the levers and I Think Its better now after playing for 2 hrs straight, no issues.

Anyone notice there are 4 bulbs in the wall here at the top wall here on the right? I have only ever seen 2. So I'm going to check these tonight.

I don't think I'm a weakling but I find the newer stern machines so much easier to nudge... big guns is like planted...

Anyway, u guys think this would be worth more than a worn High speed ? Pop bumpers have an issue and the playfield has moderate wear.

U guys ever feel a fan-layout would be a nice complement to bg? I kinda want a nice fan layout game but finding an affordable one is Canada is impossible...

Anyone willing to ship?

Oh finally, what is that plastic trim that cramps onto the bottom of the backglass? Looks like mine is cracked where it could contact the side rails on fold... I imagine it's not too expensive to replace, right?

Been really enjoying bg, when it plays great and is well.lit its awesome.

Added accent lights to mine and I'm wondering if its worth trading up for f14....
What do you guys rhink?

Re flasher behavior, you are right on.

It also rings off in sequence with the ofher flashers in attract mode or when the game celebrates when you ended the game after saving the queen one or more times.
Ill see if I have any video

Well done sir!!! Good job now put the glass on and step away else ur gonna try and tweak something and end up breaking 6 other things in the process!!!

When game overz it fires out the held ballsbjust before match displays

How many balls are loaded in the machine? Id check trough switches
