Hey! the speaker size is 6.5", 8ohm and low watts. i found some on Amazon for $5.00 each. You will pay more for the shipping then the speakers, but they fit and look age appropriate and sound fine.

I was just following what the manual said. For sure don’t want to mislead you!
Just got my first BK and have been fixing a few things (a lot) done by others. Like someone soldering all the grounds together ??? Why would they do that!!!
But speakers are working.

I’m only guessing I should leave it the way it is? Was out of town for a few days but spent a lot of time on the Internet looking for this type of grounding mod. Just couldn’t find any other examples of doing this.
Thanks!!
I will look that up today. Thanks! Next question if I may. I have no primary fuse. Should I be trying to locate one and reinstall? And do you know the angle needed for the re- Entery tube and correct length? I have new tube, was going to make a template like blownfuse had made. As you can see mine has been cut and cracked
Hope not asking to much.

Guess I need to stop working on it and jump on my computer. ha ha
My A12-P1 and A12-P are all hooked together. Still okay?

Quoted from zacaj:Get Cliffy's EOS mod, you can adjust it very finely
You will need to email them for that mod. It’s not on the website.
I spent Saturday making my own tube. Made one with rollover switch hole on center. It would jump into tube instead rolling up tube, sending it faster or not at all. As I was playing around with that tube I found If tube is offset turning clockwise about1/8” the ball seats perfect. So for the hell of it I cut a new tube offset hole for switch. Tested about 20 times working perfect no high speed ball or no coming up and out at all. The tube stop on the bracket also was to help the ball to go straight up was the thought but they forgot the left. Turning it gives it a side to keep ball going straight up tube for me. I don’t have the mod and needed a new tube. For fun you could try adjusting the tube support bracket or I remember being young at a arcade and someone had put foam pad the top of the tube to slow it down (old school) lol

Quoted from gweempose:I had a big game last night and ended up with about 1.3 million. It made me realize that I might want to upgrade to 7-digit displays. Is there an easy way to do this, or is there a board that will support scores over a million with the original displays?

Quoted from gweempose:what is the correct size screw and washer?
It’s the same size as this one. If that helps. Oh I’m sure he has it!

Quoted from Lemank:Does anybody have a spinning disk motor? Mine is starting to make some noise and I’m not sure how long it will hold up. Thanks in advance!

I do have a new 3RPM from servo city but found it to spin a little fast so I went with a 2RPM. If interested in 3RPM send me a pm

Quoted from uncivil_engineer:On the stock lower playfield up kick setup, is there any way to adjust to coil strength? I installed a new stock coil, and now the ball hits the glass on every up kick, and then jumps the gate.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Well I wasn’t expecting this, but I recently made a deal & now I’m in the Black Hole club. Damn this game is just awesome. 1981 rules! First System 80 for me as well. Luckily this game is working well & in great shape. Also has the PI-80 pascal board. I’m just trying to read through this thread & the PI-80 manual. 2 quick questions...
1). I want to put #44 6v LEDs in the lower playfield GI illumination. Do you still have to perform Blownfuse’s simple mod to change the string from 28v to 6v, even though that Pascal’s PI-80 board is installed? I’m guessing even if the pascal board is installed that power circuit needs to be modified anyway. From what I’m reading 6v LED bulbs will work everywhere except on the lower playfield illumination.
2) The motor in the backglass only comes on when the ball is on the lower playfield. Is there a setting in the menus to change when the motor comes on, or different speeds? Mine doesn’t come on during attract mode either. I just read the PI-80 manual & stepped through the game menus & I can’t find a setting adjustment for this.
I’ll keep reading tho.[quoted image]
Welcome to the club!
This should help you with both

Quoted from Pinkitten:Are there any adjustable settings on Black Hole, such as free play?
Quoted from GRUMPY:No but you can add a jumper across the switch diodes. Then it will add a credit and start a game at the same time.
I have mine set with alligator clips instead of soldering it.
