Hello,
I pick a cyclone on Sunday for 200.00. I found it needs a cpu board because of battery acid damage. I tried to see if the board could be repaired but everyone is telling me to buy a new one. Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Rottendog has one for 405.00 plus shipping. Can someone advise me on a replacement?
Thanks
Quoted from TheOnlyest:And of course you have to live on the east edge of the country! But best wishes on your surgery.
Thank you for the well wishes.
Quoted from J67ab:Woot looking better everyday!
Nice Job 
Quoted from PDX_Pinball:You set what the reward is in the menu settings. Options are xball, score or credit. I bet yours is set to credit so you never notice it.
I will check out my settings.
Thanks

Hello
You were correct the special was set to give a credit. I did spend some time learning what each setting does in the menu.
Thanks for your help
Quoted from toastbot:It looks like the decal is mis-aligned, as the wheel itself should always line up correctly. I had the same problem with my Riverboat Gambler, all the adjusting in the world would not fix, and I couldn't find a replacement sticker, so it was always off by just a bit.
That could be my issue. I tried adjusting the wheel by moving the wheel by unlocking the set screw on the mystery wheel. What a pain to do.....but I could never get it align with the back glass
Quoted from Yesh23:Does anyone have any inserts for the playfield I could buy?
Did you look on Marco specialties?

Quoted from 72Devilz:I just picked up a Cyclone the weekend before last that a friend found for free in a driveway during a community yard sale (original post here: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/it-pays-to-have-friends-looking-out-for-you ). The machine was only about 20% functional with no working GI, no working controlled lights, no working slings or kickers, no working ferris wheel, a burned up power supply socket and just absolutely filthy however everything was intact, after working on it almost every night for the past week I've fixed all the issues and it is back to it's former glory. I've added a few lighting mods to the Tram score, subway skill shot tunnel and under some of the right side plastics to make them more legible. I have caught some heat for the GI lighting but the phone makes it look far more blown out than it really is and I am still experimenting with GI placement to find a happy medium. I am bringing this one to the GSPF in Lodi Ca. this coming friday - sunday to give her a proper break in, hope to see some of you there!
Congratulations on your find! I purchased one for 200.00 and it had a missing back glass acid damaged mpu board and many other things that needed repairs. I'm happy to say it was a fun project to repair. I invested 1400.00 in parts. My wife loves this pin 
Quoted from DropTarget:Hi again,
This can't be right......
I'm reassembling my Cyclone after replacing the rubber. The Spook House plastic does not seem correct. Hard to tell from the pics, but the plastic is not level, it's bends down toward the front right. I'm assuming that's because there is no shield to stop the airballs. Is that correct? Should there be another piece of plastic there to prevent them? That would raise the plastic to a level position.
Also, there is an oblong hole in the upper right of the Spook house plastic. I don't see why it's there. Am I missing something?
Thanks again.
Sorry I'm out of town. The Dracula plastic is correct. I installed a airball deflector. I will upload a photo in a couple of days.
