I love the Porsche key fob, I'm going to have to do that mod.

It took me a while to like this machine. I figured out there was a problem with the sound when I cranked it really loud.

Previously I couldn't hear any sounds when the poppers or other targets were hit. Once I turned it up it cam alive. There is something wrong with the volume control and I nee to tear it down and clean it to get it fixed.

Also, there are a lot of air balls, any mods to reduce them off the center target area?

You guys inspired me to go home and play CP last night. Set my personal high score of 9,800,000 and loop record: 9.

Not world class, but I finally got may initials on the board.

Yes, drop targets especially, but seems more prevalent across the entire game than others.

Had the basement full of kids last night, the first time I've had all the machines on at once for a while.

CP was really dark compared to everything else. Is this normal, I dont remember it that bad.

Not up for an led swap right now. Anyone have similar experience? Could it be something with the machine or am I stuck till I upgrade?

Backglass and palayfuled seemed dim. Will have to check out the gi wiring I guess.

No. CaptNeo cleaned up and cc'ed a NOS pf I bought from another pinside.

Great news, then I will have my winter project parts list almost complete:
NOS pf
NOS Plastic set
New Decals

All I need is a new potentiometer for the sound. Mine is a little touchy and it is hard to get both channels working at the same time without turning it really loud. Has anyone replaced it in this machine? It is a dual unit not a single and I haven't seen one anywhere.

That looks great! Cant wait to do my decals.

How did you pick that color for the rails & legs? I would have never thought of it, but it looks amazing.

#246 7 years ago

Wow, I hope mine turns out 1/2 that well this winter

Why are you using those leg protectors? They create wrinkles, not prevent them.

Any pics of these installed? I was always thinking mirrored blades to brighten it up a bit, but these look great.

Is there a good pf scan out there?

I've got a NOS pf that I had cleared and getting ready to do a swap over the winter. I'm happy to get it scanned before I start work, but not sure where to get it done.

I'm in ATL, any ideas?

Airballs - Yes. Check the pf wood behind the drops. Mine is cracked/broken badly so when the drops are down the rubber standups give a little bit and catapult the balls back in the air. It's the primary reason I bought a new pf.

Check yours and make sure it is stable. If it is then you can play around with different sized rubbers or placement.

Ultimately this is a design issue. The flippers are pretty strong and that area takes a lot of abuse. My damage is from gameplay, so I assume it will happen to all pfs eventually.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

I’m trying my best to restore it,

If you give up on that pf I have a nos pf that Neo cleared for me.
