What size ball is used in the backglass for catacomb?

#1150 2 years ago
Quoted from cottonm4:

Did you get it running?

Not yet. Just trying to pull together materials so I'll have everything when it's time.

Also, I was lucky enough to have the brackets intact. But Im going to need help fashioning a wire gate for them.

Quoted from vec-tor:

Looks like it is time to get in contact with cottonm4.

Lucky for me, he is a local friend.

#1159 2 years ago
Quoted from cottonm4:

No. Worse. He got the lights all lit up with perhaps the lowest score possible to claim such a feat

Im pretty good at the bagatelle. Not so much the gameplay on the playfield.

Was a decent game though.

Quoted from Agent_Hero:

Where can I get the pop bumper cap (decal?)? My caps are plain yellow.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/catacomb-club/page/14#post-4764347

CottonM4 made them, or had them made. I was wondering the same thing though.

#1170 2 years ago

Had to buy the 20 count bag of 1" wooden bagatelle balls. Probably going to spray them all yellow.

If anyone wants a spare or needs one for another game I'm happy to help out. 5$ each.

My new gate fits perfectly.

Thanks cottonm4

Quoted from cottonm4:

Glad to hear that. When you get this Catacomb up and running I would like to give it a whirl. And sort of compare the two.

I'll let ya know when I get it playing. May be a while. Still waiting on the rectifier board parts. I am done painting and clearing the first batch of wooden balls. I may bring one over to compare the color with yours. It may not be spot on, but it looks pretty close.

Looks like Catacomb made the Outside Edge list for Hardtop titles.

Quoted from bluespin:

Toast mod available for Catacomb!

I got a little excited. I was hoping it was the mod to add letters instead of numbers on the toast.

RATS!!

#1247 2 years ago

Doing a deep clean on this Catacomb. My son even decided to jump in and help for a little while. Playfield isn't the best, even has a giant decal on it. But as fun as this game is, I was glad to have the chance to tear it down and get it working again.

Quoted from cottonm4:

I'll make you a hell of a deal

You'll have to talk to Todd on that one. I'll just make this one playable. He's gonna have a lonng way to go on this machine. He may not want to foot the bill. The head has water damage and is swollen. Plus the door is sagging as well. May be common with the weight of the bagatelle and flipper mech.

Finally got into test mode after throwing an alltek mpu in the head. Looks like all coils work except for the bottom coil. Coil ohms out fine. Transistor tested good too. I will inspect wiring tomorrow as I suspect bad connectors.

Also all of my playfield controlled lamps seem to have a flicker to them. They are incandescent. So im not sure why that's happening. Ideas?

#1252 2 years ago

Do all Catacomb machines make a really loud screech when the power is turned on? I think cottonm4 machine does this as well.

The catacomb I've been working on is coming along nicely. I believe all the solenoids are working except for the lower pop bumper. I've got the game to play properly otherwise.

I noticed that I have no speech. All my background sounds seem to work properly. But the speech is non existent. Need to start hunting down that gremlin. Is capacitors on the speech board a good place to start?

#1260 2 years ago

Glad to see a reproduction is out there! I'll have to see if the owner wants to go that route. Since he sells and stocks all these capacitors, im guessing he will want to try that route first.
