Quoted from eyeamred2u:

No, it is not my game and the owner did not want to against my strong advice to clear it. So, I will just put it back together well cleaned and waxed.

Quoted from eyeamred2u:

I get that, but these are clear like the transmitters

Quoted from Jakers:

Both flash lamps that aren’t working are socketed, not on boards. Both have continuity to the sockets from the driver board.

Quoted from Jakers:

Anyone have insight on this? I have a new TIP102 transistor coming this weekend and if the predriver transistor is a 2N5401, then I already have a couple of those from a previous display repair.

Quoted from eyeamred2u:

Shorting is not the most accurate way to prove a bad transistor. Beat way is to test it with the meter

Quoted from Xantari:

I finally got one of my shipments from Ministry of Pinball (unfortunately it appears that my first order is lost in the postal system as I put that one in 1 month ago for the time expander decals and ended up getting my later order just today).
Guess I am going to have to break down and get a better printer and print my own time expander decal, which thankfully I can do now that I have good images of the decal.
Here is a comparison of the dalek plastics now.[quoted image]

Quoted from pinballinreno:

its truly plug and play

Quoted from Tophervette:

First, I direct your attention to the Doctor Who manual page 3-20 Power Driver Board, Connector J104 is printed as supplying 50VAC to the Fliptronics board at connector J901. However on page 3-26 Fliptronis II Board, Connector J901 states it is getting 50VAC from J105 on the Power Driver Board. Now my game plays with J104 connected and my connector is labeled J104. I measured the voltage on both J104 and J105 pins 1 and 3. They all read 70 volts. The 4 fuses on the Flip board also read 70 volts. I know there are errors in the manual. So which plug is your game on?

Quoted from Tophervette:

Second, I have a Power Driver Board from 2005 from PINLED in Germany. While it plays the game successfully, I have noticed that several of the lights in the playfield flicker on and off during the game. The W-H-O score dots, The ESCAPE triangles, and the multiplier diamonds. I read that the PINLED board suffered from ghosting. Has anyone else experienced this or have this board installed?

Quoted from Tophervette:

Third, I bought a Pinball basement Power Driver Board in hopes that the ghosting goes away, as it is advertised to be a direct copy of the Bally/Williams Board.

Quoted from Tophervette:

Claimed their board was a glorified expensive MP player.

Quoted from Tophervette:

I appreciate all the help and hints I get from Pinsiders. Your experiences and advice and gotten me down the road of pinball service.
Here is an interesting story about how the Doctor Who pinball machine has a mind of its own. I know that it stores high scores and loop champion, as well as a long list of audit history. Like how many games it has played, how much money it has made, how many free games it gave away, etc. Still learning that set of things.
#Pinballreno gave me hints on how to build a ladder, of how to get higher scores. I went into the software and manual. I set the game to Easy. I adjusted a bunch of the values. I set the WHO ramp "extra ball to 1". I set the Video mode to Easy and "Extra Ball to 1". I had replay set to 300,000. I was getting better at ramp shots, and multi-balls. I finally got a 1 billion score. Then several weeks later, my game changed itself. Video mode changed to the 1st version of wave 2 instead of 1. I have no idea what the WHO ramp changed to, but it is not set to 1 anymore, after I got several extra balls with it. Replay keeps going higher by itself and now is around 500,000. It is like the machine is learning that I am winning and making itself harder and harder.
Does any of this make sense? Has anyone else noticed their machine doing this? I guess, if I had it set on standard settings, I would not be seeing these changes....
