The cannon doesn't rotate and has some wear. Other than that all is well.

Just noticed the playfield has some planking. Not terrible but not super awesome either.

It is an auction buy. I just need to figure out how to fix the cannon. It does not rotate. The previous owner says it did before he moved it to the auction place.

Haha... I looked inside and see a loose wire at the cannon. So it seems believable.

Thanks! It may or may not be a keeper for me. I may have paid a little too much but that is part of auction fun.

PM isn't working at the moment. Something to do with "tokens."

Sorry for the clunky pictures earlier. That was my first experience uploading them from my phone. With iOS 6 on the iPhone, that is now possible here (wasn't before).

Everything checks out in test mode other than the cannon. Technically it may be a board issue but I'm betting it is a problem underneath all of that electrical tape in the picture. I still need to move the Red Bull machine I bought.

I am having a party in two weeks and need to fix this cannon before then - I hope. Can anyone please post a picture of how the wires on their machine look?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. What does JB weld mean though? I did put the game for trade already. I wish I got the DE Star Wars instead. It had a lot of issues though. This one is fun but I don't think it will last long in my collection.

Thanks all. The game really grew on me today. I probably have too much $$ in it, but I fixed the DMD so that saves. I'm looking online for JB weld and the cliffy protector now.

I pm'ed cliffy to see if he has one. Apparently, Pinball life and Mad Amusements don't sell that part.

I just watched the video. My launches don't hit that side ramp like that. They just BANG off the post. I figured they were supposed to go up that ramp. I'm not sure what I need to adjust.

Thoughts?

Thanks... I was looking at the side metal on the ramp but not at the ball launch. I also properly leveled the game. It will be tomorrow before I'm back at it.

Let me know if you get yours going and what you did to fix it. I did just peak at the metal parts of the shooter lane. They look fine. The metal guide next to the post by the Davey Jones Ramp has been hit by the ball so many times you can see an indent in it.

Okay. Do you mean the metal piece on the right hand side of the ball launch? It is extremely tight. However, it could be extremely tight and placed incorrectly.

I think it makes more sense now. Thank you for the link. I believe the guide has some maneuverability up/down when the screws are loosened. Mine may be tight but out of alignment. I will mess with it tomorrow.

Now if only I could get to sleep.

I picked up JB Weld kwik dry and some ePoxy today. The cliffy protector for the cannon has been ordered along with some new pinballs, three flipper rebuilds and some LEDs.

All that's left is fixing this ball launch angle.
