Picked up BK today not working
Cab and playfield seem to be very nice
Boards all that real clean
Hoping the repairs are cheap!
My question was about the backglass
I know they are hard to get
This one has some cracking at the bottom and a little in another area the size of a baseball
Only on the back but it’s cracking
My question is are these like just impossible to find?
Thanks
Really excited about the game

#1038 5 years ago

Always wanted one love Ritchie games

Quoted from northvibe:

#1053 5 years ago

Got my BK up and running I picked up last week for 320 bucks
The cab is fantastic don’t know how to judge conditions of playfield on this game
40 pin checked out boards are pretty damn good
Weak bottom right flipper never played the game this game is dope wish I had the power on that flipper I want to smoke the left ramp BAD
Great game a friend is coming back to address the flipper after inspection believes it’s end of stroke

So I was looking at the EOS switch that corresponds to the weak right flipper
It is not the right one the metal leg is 2 inches where the good one is 1 1/2 inches
Is this the problem? Whoever put it there moved it back a little so it would hit in the right place
So,if that is a problem,should I just go ahead and change them all?or leave well enough alone
Annnd I want 2 displays just the glass display part anyone know a good place to get a couple all I can find are LED ones I would like to keep it original
Any help would be appreciated

#1063 5 years ago
Quoted from Pintor:I’ll post back when I’m done but I’m sure it’ll be a huge improvement

Please do...thank you for the replies
I am going to change the switches but now I am really wanting to get this kit ha ha thanks again for enlightening me to this I love this game I want to be the best it can be
I want to keep original though
I guess it’s a lot to think about
At least I made a decision and got a Mayfair backglass
Peace

After joining the club and being so pumped I then went on a rollercoaster back and forth getting this game 100% and considered selling it
I have come to my senses
I need to replace a display
Part of me wants to stay original
But with the price a display is I have to consider all new all the way with the LED displays
Anybody have an opinion on these
I think the orange would look dope

#1089 5 years ago

Bought a set this morning pumped!

#1090 5 years ago

As I posted earlier I picked up BK for cheap and the cab is fantastic,very clean inside and boards are sound for the most part.
I ordered a new plastic set today,got the Mayfair backglass,and put in led displays.
I heard a playfield is coming out from micro in September so I was thinking I couldn’t have got this at a better time.

Back in the day my brother always preferred Flash Gordon over BK where as I prefer BK

I really enjoy the game and love the feeling it emotes.
It’s like in that moment I am back in time and I feel like it’s playing defender or tempest way back when.
Should I be this excited about the chance to slip a new playfield in this game?
My brother thinks it’s way over the top and unnecessary and I will never see my money back.
I feel with this game it’s not about the money.
I had a FG I parted out and a guy REALLY wanted the coin door.I could see this so I told him he could have it.He insisted on paying...
He told me he found a FG at the dumps and had restored the whole thing and was almost done and sent pics it looked amazing.
I remember thinking why would anyone go through this when you can just buy one pretty decent for 1500?
I guess it wasn’t about the money
I think this game has ALOT going for it besides it’s pinball “value”
I love bringing this thing back.
I don’t want to do 30% and just play it and sell it.

So,again,should I be this damn stoked about a new playfield?
Has anyone put one in and have an opinion?
Thanks,going to go play one more round against him

#1104 5 years ago

Thanks for the responses to my thoughts on the game.Ive decided to go all the way,the more I do the better it plays and I am just in love with the game.
I haven’t touched Star Wars or walking dead since I got it.
Mayfair comes Tuesday LEDs this weekend.
Someone even gifted me a upper playfield from the first cpr run for the game.
For some reason I can help but play one,or 5 more quick games whenever I am down there..trying to beat the Knight.

The most pure fun I’ve had in my short collecting history,I like that I don’t need to watch a video to learn how to play and the feeling this game emotes. I am obsessed with fixing him
Not about the money all about THIS game

#1106 5 years ago

Very frustrating..my extra ball up top and lower turnaround switches do not register in a switch test all looks fine
Been playing for a awhile I noticed the extra ball never comes on

#1108 5 years ago

Don’t ever...I mean ever send a fucking backglass with Fedex
This is what showed up when I received my Mayfair purchased from a good man in PA so freaking bummed

My Mayfair didn’t come from them it came from a private owner .Its insured and have filed a claim.Totally bummed
Not one god damn fragile sticker on it.
This was all fed ex.the packing was awesome someone just chucked it.
Already talked to Steve at Mayfair about getting another when I secure the claim.
Meanwhile the pile is sitting in my living room.I don’t think 3 coats of clear will fix.

Looking for some experienced insight to a problem I am having on my BK.

When the bottom right and upper left drop go down in time an arrow is not rewarded.

The timer keeps running ,expires,and resets.Nothing happens when you get them down in time.

The other 2 work as they are supposed to as far as granting the arrow.

Scratching my head over here

Thanks
Marshall

#1180 5 years ago

The drops come back up but nothing is rewarded

#1182 5 years ago
Quoted from gutz:

sounds like one (or more) drop target switches aren't working on each of those banks. All three have to work or you can't score the bank. Take the glass off and start a game. Manually trip each target, one at a time, and figure out which ones don't score points. Then inspect the switches for those targets beneath the playfield.

Well shit man.Thank you!
Couple things popped free
That made my night thanks
