Thanks!

After spending some quality time, I have a couple questions.

1. Is there any version of the code that will red-light you for hitting the gas too soon in the drag race mode? The drag racer heart of mine thinks it's cheesy to just hold the flipper down as soon as the mode starts.

2. The kickback sometimes seems to kick too early or soft. Anyone had a similar issue, was it just a switch adjust to get the ball closer to the coil before firing?

Can someone test there engine and tell me if it looks like this in the video?
mine does not. does anyone know what ver is it? my graphics on the screen don't look like that and I can't adjust the amount of shaking with the flippers.. Thanks

I´m about to reassemble my playfield and I stumbled over a mismatch between the manual and my pictures. It´s this area:
P1030849.JPG

According to the manual there should be a post with a sleeve somewhere behind the VUK hole:
Untitled.jpg

Can somebody help me out with a picture what this area should look like?

My second question is: which plastic was here before it broke off?

Check my pictures in post #14 and #28, Gate #2 has a post on it:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/corvette-problem-with-engine-entryexit-gates#post-2710446

If I'm not mistaken, it's a long screw with a red plastic sleeve. It goes on top of the plastic that covers the area next to the engine.

The post you are referring to looks like letter K in the pic from the manual

You are correct and BigLebowski is missing it on his gate #2.

Hi Dennis,
thanks for the hint with the plastic!!!

Re. the post: Are you sure that´s the one? Because it´s left of the VUK, not behind. Unless the drawing is totally off...
Yours could be the "K" in the drawing, but it doesn´t have a ring.
BTW, that post is also missing in my game. Instead somebody put a post on the left side of the ZR-1 ramp....

That extra post is probably what's supposed to be J.

that´s what I´m thinking, too. Thanks everybody, I´m sure I´ll be back with more questions....

I need to get the "Catch me if you can" decal for the vets plate in the lower playfield. Anyone have this as I do not need a full set.
Thanks

.....and here comes the next question:
I´m putting the engine assembly back together after I´ve zinc-plated everything. When I put the Shake Weldment into its bearings it´s sitting pretty tight and unfortunately I can´t remember if that was also the case before I took it apart. I believe it moved quite easily so maybe the zinc-plating did something to the bearings?

If your asking if it should move easily. Then the answer is yes.

Put a separate post up for this but hoping the corvette community can come through with a little part number help.

Thanks in advance.

Does anybody have a nice scan of the racetrack decals? My racetrack is broken in many places and I got a new one from PSPA, but I´m afraid that my decals will not survive when I tear them from my old racetrack to put them onto the new one......

The decals themselves would of course be even better but so far I wasn´t able to find a source for them.

A question re. the clear plastic that sits on top of the Skid Pad ramp (holding the exit switch): is it sitting on two or three plastic posts in your machine?

I'm thinking this x-mas tree mounting bracket is incorrectly bent. Isn't it supposed to be 90 degree? If anyone has a picture of one, the way it should be, please post.

Thanks.

I have made up some Route 66 mirrored acrylic to put on the Corvette speaker panel. I think they look cool. They are held on by magnetic tape. If there is any interest in getting a set, I have just listed some on E-Bay. $28.00 Shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

Anyone ever installed a light in the top right pop bumper? I have mine apart right now and thinking of adding a light there. I know there is a plastic over the top of it, but plan on using those evo lights on the pops.

I don't have a really good picture on my phone but I lit all 3 with the comet lights.

Looks good, what wires did you tie the third light into? I see the first two are on different circuits. I'm sure it doesn't matter much, can just hook them into the standard GI as well.

If I remember right the Corvette bumpers are just GI and not in the lamp matrix. I'm pretty sure I just tied it into the nearest GI circuit.

Finished cleaning up Corvette last night. Changed out the lane guides and pop bumpers to blue. Also installed the evo lights on all 3 pops.

What are some creative mods for the pin, picking up one this week.

Here are a couple of ideas for you:

I'll have my Corvette Pinball tomorrow. I look for an alternative translite but nothing seems to have been doing on this side. Did someone is able to make a sexier translite ... like the Mustang ...

There's a hidden feature on the Corvette translite that I feel would have to be incorporated into an alternate translite for this game.

Can someone tell me where to find the LT-5 ramp protector ? I looked all over the net and they are all back order....

Looks great. Time to sell it to me

Thank you. I will check but I don't think this protector will match the LT-5 ramp.
Why this hole in the front of the ramp ???

The hole is for an opto to shine through...

Have a look at mantisamusement.com. Their Corvette protectors are great

Hello everyone!!
I do not have photos of this or why it does not match up with the whole. I think this to be a proto since the translite is. Can anyone help me with this?

Also looking for a bracket that holds the rt 66 sign above the rt 66 ramp.

It actually should line up:

The bracket looks like this, don´t know if it´s available anywhere:

I need the sign on the right ramp. Anyone have a scan to send me , or the actual plastic?

Thanks for the info. I order the ramp protector set from Kerry at Mantisamusement.com and it's a perfect match. I'm more than happy !!!

I even polished them up and they look great

WoW !!!! I think I will do the same thing !!!

Looks great!

My corvette has been long gone but I came across some Corvette Race Track decals in my parts that I am getting ready to list for sale in the market place. Any ideas on what something like this goes for?

anyone have the plastic I seek / or a scan of it ?

Does anyone know where i can find a black lockdown bar?

I will probably have mine available soon as I think I am chroming it out.

Alright, that would be awesome. Keep me posted.

I just openend a new topic about an Engine fix: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/corvette-engine-fixed#post-3556907

Just in case somebody needs it......

I have a recently shopped my Corvette game and now the race track isn't functioning. During the re-build I had the track partially disconnected, started it up to check on other issues. The left car wen't down the track 3/4 the way and the right car didn't move. I have since completed the re-build and the test shows a failure in the track. I have looked at the track boards and they don't look like they were damaged. I've also tried re-setting the track via the menu but have been unable to do anything with the settings.

Is there anything else anyone could suggest I should try to check before I order new track boards to see if they are the reason for the failure?
