What is the build date on your machine?

#39 6 years ago

550 plays already, that was fast!

3 weeks later
#49 6 years ago

How often will you wax/clean the playfield?

#55 6 years ago
Quoted from Okarcades:

I went to the location twice and there were some people playing it both times. Same group. It must be working well. I'll have to update at a later time

Must have a ton more plays on it by now.

#57 6 years ago

Still looking good. Thanks for updating us.

I've have the spotlights fall out on my ST as well. Are those the ones that fell out on the Met?

Lot of magnet wear. Do you plan on replacing it?

Thanks for the updates!!!

Around what point/plays will you replace the sparky magnet?

And they say dimples level out over time.

#133 4 years ago

It was at 4,119 last time. Most likely double by now.

Quoted from Okarcades:

Sorry this thread is so boring. The dang thing never breaks. The only thing that broke since last time was the left flipper button wore out so I replaced it. Took 1 minute.
Since the game plays reset at 7089. I'll round up to 7100 plus 8100 so over 15k plays now.[quoted image][quoted image]

You are making out on this machine.

Quoted from ita47:

Looks like you might want to change out your magnet core there in front of Sparky. It looks like it is pretty mushroomed. I change this out periodically on mine. If you have access to a metal lathe the magnet cores are easy to reface and they look new again. Or you can buy a new one for $12 at Pinball Life.

How hard is it to change out?

#146 3 years ago
Quoted from Okarcades:

Alls well and nothing wrong! Havent had to fix anything with this game in a really long time!
And remeber the last count stopped at 7089.
Add 2304 and that comes out to 9393 plays!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Did you replace the Sparky magnet yet?

#148 3 years ago
Quoted from bernieberg:

Yup, one of the first things I did when I got it.
When I got the machine I replaced the sparky magnet core, adjusted the drop targets, cleaned the playfield, and replaced rubbers. Sparkys right foot is broke, so I have to find a way to secure it, otherwise everything is working great.

How many plays on it before you changed it out ?

Any update or photos?

#152 2 years ago

That sparky magnet does not hold up well. For the speakers you just need a subwoofer.

#168 2 years ago
Quoted from Chrizg:

I’ve had both feet break off. Took a coin box lid and cut out a bracket the shape of the bottom of sparky and bolted the feet to it and secured it to the base of him. Can kinda see the bolts coming up in this pic on his feet and it is ugly but works. This met has around 180k plays so a little more wear than most.[quoted image]

180k in plays!!!! Must have been a routed machine? If you could snap a few pics from the playfield. Would enjoy seeing how the machine is holding up and how it looks after all that.

#170 2 years ago
Quoted from Chrizg:

Still on route today. All but 4 of my listed machines in profile are on route. This met not my highest played machine either..

My guess would be Iron Man for the most plays.

#174 2 years ago
Quoted from Chrizg:

[quoted image]

Any pics of the playfield to go with that? Would be interested to see the wear after all those plays

Been crickets for a year.

Maybe he will see the new request.

Thanks for the pics. I have always wanted an update.

Quoted from Chrizg:

Need to replace the sparky magnet core every 3k plays

It's time for me to replace mine. How hard of a job was it?
