How did insert behave with the mylar removal ? Mine is quite ok but mylar is not my cup of tea

Really well. No art was lost at all. Just make sure you use freeze method. Pull gently as you spay a lot. Have 2 cans on hand, as one was not enough for me. It's better to use more, than risk pulling decal on insets. I've used the heat method before on my Elvira pin, and right off the bat it started pulling decal on inserts, which at that point I switched to freez method, and everything was fine. That's just my experience. Once you remove, you'll see how cloudy the Mylar was, and no more air pockets on inserts. It looks awesome.

At that point you have 3 options. Clear, Mylar, or leave as is. Clear is the best choice, if you have the means. If not you can re-Mylar, which I haven't done before, but thinking of doing. Or just clean and wax, which is just fine in home environment, but I feel like the ball movement is a bit slower. More friction between ball and playfield wood, than Mylar, or clear. Since I don't have a way to clear, I'm thinking of trying Mylar.

Thanks a lot,
i've used heat method with success on my judge dredd. i'm not a fan of cold method, but more because of the use of cans just for that, not really ecological method

I think system 11 playfields are more prone to having issues when heat is being used. In the past, I have used heat to remove some Mylar on white water without any issues. May want to do more research on this before using heat.

Are cabinet decals available for mousin around ???
Thanks

PPS said they were going to get made , nothing so far...

You need to use a jump wire and get power from another working light.

Do you have a wire with alligator clips on each end? I would try some jumpers and see what happens. I know who used to own that game and that light board was looked over by a professional. It should not be the board.

Did you get the coindoor parts? I am the one who shipped those to you.

It is a really fun pin. As you get further along in the hobby you will want some deeper, newer, faster games. Great first pin!

Was working on some metal posts, and just wanted to show how nice they came out after some cleaning.image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpg

Of course the pics are in wrong order!

One thing you can do when you have several pics is upload them as normal, then click the '+' sign in each thumbnail in the proper order. It will put a link in your post for each pic and they will be in the correct order.

Cool, thanks for the tip.

Anyone buy cabinet decals for mousin around? Looking for a set
Thanks !!

I installed a Playfield Protector on Mouin' Around. It had to be cut to accommodate the two cheese locks, but that was OK.
I am having a problem with the lip of the protector and the shooter lane, as sometimes it makes the ball bounce and even get stuck in the shooter lane gate. Anyone had more success?

Contact pinsider 'jbyrum' for a set. If he still prints them.

Does anyone know where I can get a ball gate assembly (left ramp entry, part number A-13288) for Mousin Around?

Hey guys,

hopefully someone can help me with a simple rules question

above the top rollovers that advance the bonus multiplier on the right there's a gate. this gate keeps the initial plunge above the rollovers and can be opened by a solenoid.

on my mousin around that gate is open the entire time a ball is in play.

i thought it was only supposed to be open momentarily when hitting the left loop? (aka trap lane)

can anyone confirm? all you have to do is start a game and plunge and watch that gate while the ball goes into play. thanks.

Back in the club as of yesterday. My second time owning the game. My old one had a center post and my new one has no post but a hole for one. Should I add it.

no

Hello guys,

my mousin is gone is gone. but that's temporary ^^

Up to you really. I got mine and it had the post in the original bag still. I played a few games and although it plays fast, ball times seem long enough and fair that I decided not to add it. Mess around for a few days and see if you feel like you need it. Easy swap in and out either way though!

Mine still has the aa batteries, what are my options for eliminating them? Links?

You can just remote batterie the cpu. Device with dummy batteries and terminals and you velcrow to side, and wires go to it. I have several if you want one. You will have to wait a few days till i get home. I can send pics then to. At airport checking pinside. I love that pinside is global!

Wisker : otherwise, go for Lithium AA ; no leak

Does anyone have a rubber ring list for this game?

The manual just list sizes, and not quantities (or locations).

I'm looking for a replacement set of ramps for Mousin' Around. Does anyone have any to sell or know where I can buy them?

Thats a very good question!
Let me know if you find Two sets.

i am a new proud owner of a former used MA. Been doing LEDs today.
Got a question: how do i reach/replace the light in the toplevel of the playingfield (million letters ad jackpot).
I cant reach them, not thru the backboxdropping and trying to reach them there and not when uplifting the playfield.
anyone a got tip?

Backboxdropping??
I think this is what i was going to suggest.
Lower head(top) down to playfield, Now you may more room.
I had to remove playfield on BTTF to do the back panel. May be same here.

I removed my playfield when I was shopping it/changing bulbs. That’s the easiest way. Plus, that’s also a good time to clean the mechanical stuff back there. I guarantee there will be a bit of buildup.

how do i remove the playing field, disconnect all the connectorsand then lift it from the brackets?

Correct. Label all the connectors going through the head into the cabinet. Then disconnect them.
Then I lifted mine straight up and out and gently leaned it up against my game and worked on all those hard to reach sections.
Oh, and lay a towel over the side of your cabinet before leaning the playfield against it just to prevent scratches to the side artwork.

Id like to join your Club, If anyone know where there is a Mousin Around for sale in / around PA? Broken/non working machine ok, but working ok too.

Hmm. I just lift my playfield up a little and I'm able to feel for the bulb sockets and twist them in and out. You might have to hold with one hand and remove with the other.

I have a question for other Mousin' Around owners.

When watching this tutorial:

at around 6:35, the balls are ejected from the traps for multiball.

When the ball is ejected from the left trap, it seems to be directed towards the pop bumpers rather than coming straight down towards the flippers.
This happens at other points in the video as well. Is this normal?

My machine always sends the ball directly at the flippers (often STDM) making for a very difficult multiball. I do have a yellow rubber post near that spot, but it rarely affects the ball at all, and certainly not to the extreme amount shown in the video.

Any ideas/comments?

Is there any interest in reproduction Ball Eater bracket. I have designed it based from a great condition never used NOS assembly. It would be solid laser sintered 3D printed solid nylon.

Shapeways would make them as one offs in Black and Blue for Mousin Around and Secret Service games.

Due to the size the price works out roughly at $70USD from Shapeways.

Would people pay for this?

Swinks... I've owned 2 MA's. One had both sides cracked (still functional tho)... the other game both were solid.

With the amazing glues available, I'd probably glue a cracked / broken one first. IMHO: At $70 each, for me that seems like alot of $$$.

Thanks!
Kerry (one of your past happy customers

yeah, it isn't cheap but Shapeways has a new pricing algorithm and everything is going up in price so that is out of my control unfortunately.

thanks for your thoughts though, much appreciated.

Finally managed to join the club with this super nice example after years of looking, happy days
