Sorry if this was already covered here, but what’s a good fix that doesn’t involve solder arc for this broken side on the chute bracket? Epoxy glue? Metal plate?
BCE37D5B-A4E5-43BC-BF29-00188CF9D54B (resized).jpeg

Replace the whole thing (available). Or have a buddy who can weld this thin cheap metal without blowing a hole in it. Very common failure.

If that's the scoop across from the middle flipper - it needs to be mig or tig welded . Because with that flipper so close it takes a pounding . Who ever fabed thoes up just tac welded them all and never went back and welded them up .

I welded mine. I believe Marco has these presently in stock. And they were only barely tacked from supplier back in the day.

Not sure if related, but yes, resistor in SW4 should be cut in DM.

Does anyone have a set of triggers for the guns they would sell me? Mine are beat up and I would like to chrome my guns. Would look horrible with raunchy triggers.

I have a row of lamps that are always on, looked in the manual and it’s the red/gray line. What does this mean when it’s always on rather than off?

A shorted transistor?

The corresponding transistors Q83, how on earth do you find the part number?

The transistor type is printed on it, so you could look them up online to find where to get one.

I bought one of these shakers at the same time I bought my Demo Man @ the York show. It's awesome! I have to dial it almost all the way down so it doesn't shake things off the shelves in my daughter's room above the pinball room. I bought a 2nd one for my Space Shuttle.

I’m almost done with my DM restoration. I thought my claw would be working after I fixed the elevator opto. Turns out that once it picked the ball, the claw somehow freezes halfway through. I read it was a common issue that could be fixed by installing 370ohms resistors. They’re on their way.

Anyway, I’m starting to look at the « nice to have » stuff. Would one of you be kind enough to share a picture of the under playfield setup of an additional lamp under the saucer? It’s my first time adding lamp so I don’t want to mess it up. I’m also considering adding lamps behind the rear playfield plastics, so I’d also be interested in pictures of that as well

Next step, replacing FL-11630 coils by FL-11629 but this thing already plays great!

Thanks!

Ramps & plastic sets available anywhere?

I’m very surprised that ramps and plastics haven’t been made ? I’m sure
These are in demand?

They had plastics a while ago, are they just out of stock? I got a new set last year

How is the shaker for demo man? Do you have examples of when it goes off? Seeing if it’s worth the money. Appreciate your time!

The Pinshaker brand one uses dipswitches and can be set to go off whenever you want pretty much. I like mine going off when the pops fire, the slingshots fire, the crane moves and a few other switches trigger. Pinshakers has a PDF on their website that shows all the possible dipswitch settings for all the games they support. I whole heatedly recommend them. I wish I could have mine turned up more but it literally shakes my daughter's Nick backs and make up and things off her shelves in her bedroom a floor above where I have my machine.

I have some leftover used plastics from my DM shop out and restoration. Not great, but may be one or two in there that are better than what you have. Totes free, just pay shipping to whomever can use them. I would prefer that you take them all.

CLAIMED

PinballCenter seems to have stock for the unobtainium 31-1919-16 plastic: https://www.pinball.center/en/shop/pinball-parts-by-game/demolition-man/3967/plastic-for-demolition-man-31-1919-16?number=43622

Lower your expectations as PinballCenter plastic quality is far from great, but it’s still better than no plastic at all.

Hey there,

I’m looking for all 8 sound ROMs and the cpu rom!! Machine came with profanity ROMs installed and owner doesn’t have the old ones.. trying to put this machine on location!!

If anyone out there can help me or point me in the right direction?!

Thanks

I believe the profanity rom is only one chip. Also, you can turn it off in the menus. Custom menu, I believe.

New Soren Custom ROM is out for this game.

Better implementation of the no re-pick rule of the previous patch released.
With fixed Computer award sequence added.
Special thanks to Ron Hallett.

Why it rocks

Great shame to see the Claw, as the major mechanical feature of the game, disabled in competition setup.
Better strategic control over when to spend the light multiball/start multiball trumph.
Modes selection according to player preference.

Less randomisation game to game.
Fixed Computer award sequence allowing for strategic play.

Note

Claw awards un-light when the fifth one has been selected.
No requirement to play Demolition time first.

The Computer award sequence is carefully chosen: points, multiball progress, more points, better multiball progress, …

go to menu, I believe A2 there is a "vulgar speech" set to off. no need to change ROMs

Just turned it to off.. still says FREE ONLY. even when I set it to free play!

You might need just a new mpu rom then, some home roms only allow free play.

Pricing is in A3, that's where you turn off free play and set it to the coins you want.

Joined the other week!!

Play this game a lot in tournaments so wanted to get my hands on it to learn better.

Players condition but I'll spruce it up as best as I can. I usually strip the topside and clean it up as best I can. Tumble a few parts and Novus then Wax!

Few little errors but I'll wait till I've stripped and cleaned before I bug you guys!!

Went there, checkout is greyed out, shopping cart says "We do not ship to your country!". What happens for you after selecting USA as your country?

Shipping To USA Verboten (resized).jpg

Pinball Center stopped shipping to the US 2-3 years ago... Even though their main landing page says they ship worldwide! Before they stopped all together, they were trying to charge like $400 shipping for a set of sling plastics!

The "unobtanium" (31-1919-16 plastic) is also in stock here as of 1/26/2020:
At www.planetarypinball.com, which merged with Bay Area Amusements 1/1/2020, so you can come at this from www.bayareaamusements.com and also hit the merged website via redirect if your credentials are BAA and they should work.

Does anyone know what part number this might be?!?

Struggling to find it or know what it may be called.

Thanks guys

Hi, you can ask at WWW.SOS-PINBALL.COM 8 euros worldwide shipping

Interestingly Pinball Center GmbH themselves replied this via email to my newbie user inquiry at their service desk:
for USA read this on Pinside how you can order from us
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/german-mail-forwarding-workaround-for-pinball-center

Are the diamond/parallelogram shaped trigger side plates, the parts that are on the insides of the cabinet right and left, made of aluminum or steel? I found a broken off threaded standoff/stud in the bottom of the cabinet that goes to the RH plate and that stud seems to be made of aluminum. But maybe aluminum studs were pressed into the steel plate. I'm unsure if maybe both materials were used in production and what I'd receive if ordering a new one.

I have a DemoMan playfield if anyone is interested? Send me a DM.

Got positive feedback

Is Ksarcade the last part supplier still selling the Cryo Opto Board? I need a
new one but $55 + $50 shipping to Europe for such a small board is a hard pill to swallow.

I have emailed GLM but doubt I will ever get an answer.

You can give up on GLM. Have you tried pinball spare parts Australia?

Thanks. I just had a look, couldn't find the board there :/

Just wondering who you were refering to?

Hi All

New here and new to owning a pinni. A demolition man (obviously) slowly upgrading it.

Anyway Hi All and talk soon

Geoff

Marco

I finally got around to swapping the FL-11630 coils for FL-11629 and also added a piece of foam in the left scoop assembly to reduce bounce backs. It's a completely different game now! I just clocked a new 9.7B highscore.

Still no luck on the claw though. Everything registers fine in test mode but during a game, the claw picks up the ball, goes to the left and just stays there. Triggers buttons don't make it move one inch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi All

Has anyone got any plastics from that german website the pinball center? Because i got some and they look nothing like the pictures on the site. and thats only the start. they were 4 different colours. One of them was cut way off centre.

If they actually sent me one like the picture on the website i would be really happy. that's what i wanted but its not what i got.

Im so disappointed. then i send an email back to the company and got completely dismissed. I give them a second chance to address my concerns and they dismissed me again.

If you are gong to order from these people get them to send you photos of the actual product before you commit to paying them because their pictures on their website are not the same as the product they send you.

has anyone else ordered form these guys? What was your experience?
