What three decals are you referring to? The back panel decal is just a single sticker. The other two decorative pieces near the speed bag and jump rope are plastics and there is a sticker around the jump rope.

The side blades look great too. I haven't done the back panel because it looks quite a bit of work!

I think I have just bout everything to recreate that topper...pretty awesome!

If you want to take it on, PM me. I will be happy to help anyway I can. Its not for the faint of Heart!

I was mentioning the backpanel decal and the floor decals at speed bag and jump rope. Thanks!

Scroat... I do prefer TC backbox decal bcuz it has the gold trim line on top.

Also, the floor decals at TC (jump rope & punch bag) are really nice too!

Thanks again

"Designed to fit a Stern Pinball game"

I ordered the floor decals from there too, and took them to a sign shop to have multiple duplicates made on vinyl stickers, so now I have plenty of replacements should I need them.

The back panel decal was easier than I expected. just take it slow and steady and take lots of pictures. I have the side blades from tilt coming this week.

Thank you! I'll definitely hit you up if I ever get a round to it!

So how many of you guys use the post to hit the jabs to knock out your boxer? And do you know how to cheat to knock out your boxer? And finally, do you think it’s cheating to use the post to hit the jabs?

Oh and one more, have any of you guys ever knocked out all of the boxers by using the post to hit the jabs?

yes, I have streamed this a couple of times (YouTube - pinball Mayhem & Twitch Pinball_Mayhem_Jeremy). Using the ball saver post is a great technique to hit jabs and light knock out - then hit smart punch for a Knock Out. On my machine I have the boxers set tougher and the ball save post set to shorter. I don't have them set to super tough but tougher than standard.

So I understand your position as being: Yes you use the post, and yes you know how to cheat by using Smart Punch once you hit both Jabs with the post. I am assuming you do not think it is cheating to use the Smart Punch. Are you also saying you have knocked out all the Boxers? Did you do it with the Smart Punch Knock Out for all of them?

While I haven't knocked them all out - after the first knock out (which takes 2 jabs) the next knock out takes 3 jabs (and so on). When the boxers are set to tougher and the post is set to shorter it is almost impossible to use the post for more than 2 jabs as your opponent has knocked you silly and the post is down. And it is not cheating. It is a risk/reward shot. I also use the post for shadow boxing from the skill shot. I can normally get about 3 jabs before the post goes down.

One of the things I like best about CP is you can “taylor make“ the rules to customize the game, especially when playing others. You give other players that have less pinball skills a handicap. There are also strategy's You Can use to get you into the money rounds. CP is only pinball machine where you can finish a game with no points.

Agreed. I’ve been saying it for a while. There are several videos of this game on YouTube and they all play the game differently!

Here's a 20 min game on The Champion Pub where I wager points. Might be useful for those whom haven't played or own a CP.

You can wager points with the latest version of software?

Picked one up yesterday.

Welcome to the pub

I believe it is in every version of software but I have not checked. You can wager after you have beaten 4 boxers.

The real fun doesn't start til you can wager. But watch out, you might finish with no points!

How do you trigger the wagering process? Is it hard to miss? I've done it before, but not since I upgraded my rom version.

I remember the game stopping to prompt for a wager?

I just played and it did not ask me to wager before the pub champ fight.

Is wagering not a factory setting for version 1.6?

I believe you have to get past pub champion (this is not the wizard mode). Then it's wagering when you start a fight and picking you boxer to fight against.

Once you become Pub Champion and get all the jewels, The next fight can be a Wager fight.

Thanks for the info guys.

So there's no wagering for the pub champ fight then?

(I've enabled "special mode" in the game adjustments. I have no idea what that does.)

You can become pub champion without getting all the jewels. You must be Pub Champion to Wager fight. Getting all the jewels gets you to the ultimate challenge. Below taken from Planetary pinball rules sheet https://www.planetarypinball.com/mm5/Williams/games/pub/rules.html

Ultimate Challenge

To start this mode three conditions have to be met:

You must be Pub Champ
Have all the jewels in the belt
Have a full Life Bar

Thanks! Makes sense now.

My Pubs right sling and right inlane lights are out. Don't have the manual. Where should I check?

wiring, sockets

Looking for the boxer bracket if anyone has one for sale

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/04-11027.1

What am I doing wrong on the extra balls max set to 1? Even if I only put it for one it will give me more?

Does anyone have the service manual they can email me or where to download a pdf? I have a couple switches that are showing errors and I don't know where they are located at.

Internet Pinball Database. Make sure you enter the game name correctly. "The Champion Pub" Scroll down to Manual and it will be the larger file. You can either download it or just find the page you need.

Thank you for the quick response!

Hello! I have a couple issues with my game.

1) Jump rope motor takes 2 cold boots to stop spinning during the cold boot testing. Might keep spinning during a game too. Bad transistor? Thought? The jump rope opto tests just fine.

2) The lock post (that locks the 3 balls) is turning my game into a paperweight. It will not release the balls properly. The mech seems fine, but a 26-1500 coil is installed instead of a ae-27-1200 that is specified in the manual. My game is pitched at around 6.5 degrees, and the 3 lock switches test properly. The lock post doesn't stay down long enough to release the balls properly it seems. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Does the jump rope motor keep spinning if you repeatedly do the motor test? Transistor could be bad. You could test a couple of ways - by seeing with a meter if the game is commanding it on when it is acting up. Or grounding out the transistor repeatedly and seeing if it sticks on.

On the ball lock you may be able to get the plunger to stay down longer if you tweak the switch wire. Perhaps the switches are turning off too soon?

My edit didn't post from my phone. Bummer. I think I found the issue with the #1 issue. The lighted cointaker topper tapped into J141, which powers the jump rope motor! Once I unplugged the topper, the game cold booted fine 4 times. I also noticed that the jump rope spins faster now during a game. The interesting thing is that the piggy-back connector on j141 appears to be professionally made (for the topper). Seems like the topper company and the previous owner really thought it was OK to power the topper this way? Hm.

I see! So you are saying that the post comes down, and comes up not based on a millisecond timing, but based on the switch being released? Interesting. In this case, I would have to make my switch wires taller, right? Thanks for your suggestion (and your time).

That's my theory

It was a good theory, but it's false. The post is entirely governed by timing.

I think I found my issue. My damn balls are magnetized!!!!!!!

F me.

WOW! Thank you for the information.

Sure thing! I don't have other games with a huge magnet like the one used for the CP jump rope. Truth is, I should have thought about magnetism sooner! I spent months pondering why that damn lock post was not working properly!

Another symptom is the balls will stick in the ball trough and the game won't be able to serve a ball.

Again, obvious now.

I've just uploaded my review on this fantastic game

I was waiting for you to catch the Bar Fly! What? No Knock out? Hit your jabs off the post so you can knock out your boxer. Danger Zone Enabled? There is a lot more to this game than meets the eye!

Sold

Hey all, we noticed many decals were out of stock all over the internet. Just wanted to give y'all first dibs on a few NOS decals for you to pick up on our site! Here are some pictures of what we added.

Yes there is a setting for that. Just grab the manual it is in there I just can't remember which one. If you don't have a manual go to IPD and search the Champion Pub. drop down to manual and you can look it up.
