Quoted from neemypeemy:We just installed this alt translite from ebay and love it, did have to trim just a bit. Photo doesn't do it justice.

I LOVE it!
Been browsing the bay without any luck.
Would you have a link to the ebay shop by any chance?
Well if the colors still match, you can easily but tediously reassemble everything and from there see what symptoms are showing up.
Be sure that patience will be rewarded with this terrific games. Impatient people usually hate it 
Still working on my funhouse before finally starting my Dr Who big maintenance/small overhaul!

Btw thx for this pic. Loved it, and as the seller only ships to US, had my brother to order it for me.
I’ll get it when he visits. Can’t wait!
At this point I’d check the electronic parts that control the motor. It’s getting send 12V or -12V depending on the way it goes.
Try your motor this way:
Find a 12v adapter, remove connector.
Disconnect the motor engine from the connector.
Put (through crocodile plugs or whatever you want) the cables from your adapter to the motor.
Put back down the playfield so that it lies as when you play
If it behaves as it should (meaning going up and down as these are the ibly things you control with this test) when receiving power this way, then I’d say the issue is on the board or logic and not the motor.
If it does not then you received a faulty motor, or your 12V is screwing them up.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Nice! Which ships are those? I like Davros too - is he on top of a pop bumper?
Yep, Davros sits on the bumper.
Slitheen & Cpt Shula ships.
Quoted from pinballinreno:I really like the side blades on these games.
It really modernizes them a lot with the colorDMD and alt translite.
Does anyone make a back board decal to go with the blades?
Seems unfinished without it.
Not that I know of.
Thought about the color DMD but decided against it, too expensive for a small improvement on Dr Who imo.
Alt translite will come when my brother visits from NYC; seller would only ship within the US.
Quoted from lanfeust:Hi guys,
I have some troubles with the mini playfield at this time; it gets stuck around the middle when rising or even when going down, never able to get the third level...obviously it shows the error message from mini playfield...
I checked twice and there is nothing which could block or prevent the MP from going up or down, and thing is, when in the playfield is in the upright position, when I do the mini PF test, it works perfectly fine! But as soon as the playfield is down, it gets stuck again... it's like the the all thing was too heavy to be lifted...I did apply some grease around the metal bracket to help but not efficient.
At this point I don't know what else I could do, except maybe change the motor, so every suggestions will be welcome, thanks!
Boite de vitesse morte, moteur a changer.
Gearbox's dead, can only change the motor. Very common issue unfortunately.
