Quoted from Tomass:

I know it was used on several games. Just need the decal if you get one. I think even Marco had them.

Quoted from jaytrem:

Here ya go. Mine looking a little toasty...

Quoted from goggleloy:

Does anyone have any used plastics? Specially looking for the ones around the Ferris wheel
Thanks

Quoted from jaytrem:

Thanks for the flag info. I think I have 16 out of the 17. Figured I was missing more than that since my sheet starts at #8 (see post above). I can clean up that page and scan them if anybody would like a copy.
Now should we move on to the left monorail vs. right monorail debate? Left monorail rules!!!

Quoted from Tomass:

Can you post a pic of your aux driver board? Also I would put that fuse back in line on those 2 blue wires.

Quoted from Lovef2k:

Is this an actual Cyclone part? I didn't see it on my game...

Quoted from Budnik74:

Anyone know where i can buy a playfield? My cyclone needs a new playfield and so far i cannot find one instock.

Quoted from TheSoftBoiledEgg:

So I am dumb. I was replacing my Cyclone ramp sloppily with a new one and ended up doing so without turning the power to the game off. I didn't think the replacement of the ramp would require anything electrical, neglecting to consider the blue flasher at the top right of the machine. As I pulled the ramp up, blue flasher wires make contact with siderail, spark, and blue flasher doesn't work. At first I hoped all I had done was fried the flasher, but upon firing the game up I have new error with center drop target switch, and the ball does not launch to the shooter lane.
Does someone smarter than I know what I likely did to the machine and what I should consider starting with? I believe the two problems to be caused by this same spark....
And yes I know, I always turn my games off when working. I have no idea why I didn't in this circumstance.

Quoted from jazc4:

I plan on starting a full restore on a Cyclone in a couple of months. It will get LEDs, new rubbers, and either a hardtop or new playfield. What MODs are there for this game and which do you recommend? Thanks!

Quoted from mark532011:

I love the metal flake. And that clear plastic ramp looks amazing too. Did you polish it somehow? I've tried using the stuff they recommend for car headlight covers but it doesn't seem to have done much.

Quoted from JOESCHALL:

Thanks for the prompt and helpful replies from PDX_Pinball and Xenon75 as well as the PMs from another pinsider. I will try CPR as well, just in case. As much as a PF swap intimidates me, I have done those before, and because of the insert damage I'm thinking the hard top might not be any easier or achieve the results I want.

Quoted from JOESCHALL:

Thanks for the encouragement. That is now my plan--I just have to find a repro playfield. I also have a rotisserie, so that helps as well. The new element to me is dealing with the stapled-down braiding, but there isn't too much of that.

Quoted from mark532011:

I like the ferris wheel but mine had broken pins and was pretty dull and scratched. I wanted to paint it a candy apple red with glitter to really make it look fancy but I was worried any future owners might want the original so I created a replacement ferris wheel and 3d printed it, then painted the replacement.
It looked great but the clear plastic side seemed a bit unimaginative so I whipped up a graphic using struts from a ferris wheel and stuck it onto the plastic. Now to put on the replacement stickers and it is done!
3d print file on thingverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5763124
its just a little bit bigger than the original as I was reading in this thread about how the ball sometimes doesn't come out when its supposed to.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

My new to me Cyclone came with displays not working well. I knew this and it was factored into the purchase price.
They seem to come to life after the game has been on for a while.
Top left display is on right away although dim at first and with some segments missing.
Next display to come on is the lower left one. It comes on after 1-2 minutes of turning the game on and is again, weak on some segments and missing for others. This display eventually comes back fully with all segments bright and working.
Third display to come back to life is top right and it comes back dim and some of it stays that way. The last three or so characters stay dim or not there at all. This is all after about 45 minutes of having the game powered on.
Last to come back to life is the lower right display. Say around the 1 1/2 to 2 hour mark. It eventually comes back mostly complete, although a bit dim.
So, my displays aren't working well. Is there anything I shiould be trying on the power board or the fuses or connectors to improve this? I can measure voltages to confirm things with a little guidance. Or are these displays simply toast and a new set of displays is going to be required?

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Yes, please do. Send pics that is, or more details. Still weighing my options of whether to tackle the high voltage power supply issues or get new displays that don't use the high voltage power supply.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Does anyone have a source for the airball deflector plastic piece to go across the Spook House drop target? Are they for sale somewhere or were these only custom made? I'd love to get one for my game as a direct hit to the drop target almost always careens up into the glass and scares the sh!t out of me every time!

Quoted from justler:

Anyone have pics of the mpu board decently close up so I can see the color of wires and connectors to make sure mine are in the right place?
Could also use a pic of the board mounted to the left side of the backbox (not sound board) and the one below the power supply? I think I have the right locations. But just want to check!
Here’s what I have so far.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Has anyone here bought the replacement ramp set from Starship Fantasy for Cyclone? Could you share some photos? Starship doesn't have photos up for these ramps and I would like to see for myself exactly which brackets and decals and whatnot come with them. This would be for the Cyclone ramp, the Comet ramp, the ferris wheel return ramp as well as the subway underneath. Thanks.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Thanks for posting the photos. They do look great.
The riveting is the main thing I am concerned about. I had thought that all riveted brackets came new with the replacement ramps and that you would not need to reuse anything off your old ones. The two obvious ones above the flipper inlanes on both return ramps plus the flaps at the entrances to the Cyclone and Comet ramps. It is not clear to me whether the bracket that is riveted to the top of the ferris wheel return ramp would come new with the replacement ramp or whether you had to reuse your old one? This is the one which screws down the top of that ramp to the playfield and which the ball falls out onto when leaving the ferris wheel.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

I couldn’t find those parts on Marco, that’s part of why I asked. Do you see them there, in stock? Send the link please if you do.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Great. Thanks for the link. I messaged him through the website as it won't let me select an address outside of the US for shipping.

Quoted from steve8091:

I printed prototypes of the Ferris wheel ramp stickers, to add some color to the left side of the machine. I made them separate pieces as a mock-up because I was able to do it for almost no cost, but the full design would be a single piece. I am pretty pleased with the result. Cheers!
