Quoted from Calfdemon:

Still looking for the lower 2 ball guides by the flippers... Any ideas?
On a side note, I posted a request to consider reproducing the JD ramps which are next to impossible to find. He says he will consider it when he is less busy. So if others jump on this one, we may finally be able to get some brand new ramps made! Anyone potentially wanting some new ramps may want to voice their wishes here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/freeplay40-ramps/page/64#post-5005597

Quoted from Calfdemon:

I am not at home right now, but going through my older photos, it is these 2 guides that separate the inlanes from the outlanes and edge up to the flippers...[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Davi:

New member here, looking for help. Can someone please send me some good high resolution pictures about bottom side of populated playfield? I would like to restore a JD, however the bottom side of playfield is almost empty... Please contact me in PM.
Thanks in advance!

Quoted from Baron_VonLoppnow:

Hi Davi - I too am looking for the outlane divider that you show in your pic in post #3085 - left side only. I just noticed that one of the tiny brackets that feature the screw hole is not there, causing the ball to bounce a little as it comes into the flipper. Would be easiest to replace it rather than rig something up or try to weld something. Feel free to reply to me privately if you have something you can still sell.

Quoted from KenM:

Does anyone feel like measuring the height of the topper? I'm tired of searching. I have a short basement ceiling and hope it'll fit.
Thanks!

Quoted from SlowEssy:

No one?

Quoted from PinRob:

Same thing I experienced. And then the decals lifting up after awhile

Quoted from PinRob:

Hole not needed. Like to see some more pictures of yours

Quoted from C_Presley:

I’ve tried to find that washer in the manual to get a size, if you place a ball under that nut that holds the wire form is there enough space between the two for the ball to fall down? I’m assuming this issue is why that washer exist. I’ll take a few fender washer and see what I can do. Thanks for the pics and help!

Quoted from EvanDickson:

Holy cow, did you build that cad model just for this thread?

Quoted from ragefactory:

Do you know where i can find the 3D of the plastic crane + metal arm + magnet?
Working on a mod to replace all, here the concept.
Thanks

Quoted from Thor-NL:

Going through a parts-bin I found some JD parts.
But have two questions, the lamp-boards, is this a complete set?
About the pursuit-assy's, is there a right and left version? or do these come from two JD's and are they both for one side?
Thanks[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from TicTacSeth:

Anyone know what size the screws are that hold on the opto switches on the stacked wire forms (that connect to the ramps) in the upper right?

Quoted from TicTacSeth:

Awesome, thanks! I was in it last night and saw I was missing one of those spacers. It also looks like the black side of the optos barely creep over the wireform rail, is it supposed to clear it better than that or is this normal?

Quoted from MagicPockets:

Real life got in the way so only just getting back to solving this. Is there an openly available parts list/tear down for the machine? I'm mindful of asking lots of n00b questions and prefer to avoid that if possible.
From the advice so far, I need the following parts -
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/A-6306-2
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/03-8561
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/4106-01152-06
But the comment above about the pin has me wondering if that's the correct plunger and/or if I need a different part? Happy to order whatever parts needed if somebody can either confirm or point me to a schematic/manual. This is really not my forte so thanks again for all the help.
[For context as been a few weeks - the plunger in the Sniper Tower (which is plastic in mine) has come free and appears to be broken where a pin clips to or runs through the plunger]

Quoted from o-din:

Is it just the motor? I was wondering where to get those myself. I know the gearbox with motor is super expensive but available at Marco.
PBresource rebuilds them so they may have just the motor. Another option is if it is the same motor as the crane uses which I have not checked, that assembly is only $89 at Marco.

Quoted from o-din:

https://www.pinball.center/en/shop/pinball-parts-by-game/judge-dredd/1541/motor-for-judge-dredd-14-7985

Quoted from o-din:

They are hard to order from anyway.
I searched as best I could. Best bet is to contact PBresource. They rebuild these things. If they don't have it, might try to post a wanted to buy ad for a used one. It's gotta be out there somewhere.
http://www.pbresource.com/motor.html
Otherwise, it's bite the bullet time.
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/14-7985

Quoted from o-din:

Lucky to have it available at all. A few years ago there were none.
Again check with PB resource. When no parts were available to the public, they were to whoever is doing the rebuilds for them. That is the best advice I can give.

Quoted from ragefactory:

Hi, since my PURSUIT pastics was broken and cannot find a new one, i made a replica.
If someone interested i made it availbale in my shop.
thanks.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from ragefactory:

Hi, the original "small" hole is fragile: a strong ball hit can crack the plastic around (that's the reason mine original reached the status you see in the photo).
If you put 2 washers, the area that absorbs the impact is greater, so no risk to crack the plastic around the hole.

Quoted from grantopia:

I'm hoping someone can help me track down a part. I've had a few balls get lodged under the plastic on the left side of the subway entrance. It looks like there should be a little wire "gate"/rail to keep the ball out of there...there are two holes in the playfield for it. There is one on the right side of the entrance...anyone have a size, part number, etc on this? Hopefully the pictures illustrate what I'm talking about...[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from grantopia:

Sorry, it's actually the wireform that's under the plastic. It looks like there is one on each side of the scoop entrance to keep the ball from getting under that plastic.

Quoted from wizard_mode:

Hi all, I am running the deadworld mod and trying to adjust the crane lifter wheel but I found it to have a blown out set screw. I would like to buy a new lifter cam wheel but see that pinbits and pinballspareparts are both sold out. Anyone know of a boutique part maker who is making these? Or, is anyone aware of a 3d cad file I could use to 3d print a few of these? Please PM if anyone has a lead. Thx

Quoted from Davi:

I can help, PM sent.

Quoted from wizard_mode:

Davi install a helicoil for the set screw. Looks awesome. I replied to your PM!

Quoted from o-din:

Right. I figured it out. Don't know what else to say.[quoted image]

Quoted from Shredso:

What happened with this project? Will it be for sale or are you sharing the file? I just got my 3d printer back online, this would be a great one to test out the setup.

Quoted from robotron911:

Really nice job. I have the metal crane mod from the guy in the UK. I think it is excellent. This may be an even better execution of a crane mod. I guess the question is the plastic durable enough, particularly from any random air ball strikes that could happen over time.

Quoted from TractorDoc:

There should be a new thread in the near future to provide details. I'm sure a link will be posted here in the Dredd Thread.
I'm still trying to provide the designer/creator a few minor bits of info to make sure production cranes are bug free.
A few more pics to highlight some of the detail under the truss.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Davi:

Here is the separated thread about my crane mod:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/judge-dredd-active-3d-crane-modification

Quoted from durgee7:

Hey Guys,
Do you guys recognize this ground? I can try finding it in the Pinside Shopout pics.
Any info on these items is greatly appreciated!
[quoted image]

Quoted from legendpin:

No I think the shop is closed right now and everything is out of stock.

Quoted from luckymoey:

And if you take the plastic off of the crane, there will be a switch where the magnet grabs the ball. The switch interferes with the Davi crane mod. You can remove it since it's not essential to game play. Believe it just reduces magnet voltage once the ball is grabbed.

Quoted from Davi:

The crane mod for proto/sample games is almost done, hopefully I can reveal first pictures in few days.

Quoted from BeeGeeMtl:

Hey everyone! I was looking to powder-coat the JUDGE DREDD legs, what color would you guys suggest? Also, if you know of any online pictures of other JDs that have power-coat already, I've love to check them out since I'm more of a "visual" guy. Thanks!

Quoted from AntennaMan:

Would someone tell me what the posts on each side of the Subway Entrance are? Model/part#. The ones that hold the double rubbers on each side and the wire form and plastic above the entrance. Both of mine snapped in half.

Quoted from Langless28:

New to the group. Super excited. I have a demo man so same era but does this opto board for my left flipper look correct? In use to the black plastic photo interrupters. Issue is this metal one is extremely stiff compared to my right flipper.
[quoted image]

Quoted from fosaisu:

Other than patching the L7 rom to support the Deadworld mod, anyone have thoughts on glitch fixes or scoring/balance tweaks that’d be nice to see? If we put a good list together maybe we could pique soren’s interest and jump the line a bit.

Quoted from durgee7:

Here's another video after restarting (powering on) the machine without pushing start. Maybe I need to check the fuses.

Quoted from durgee7:

Hey Guys! I just got another Dredd and decided to clean the playfield and replace balls before playing. The machine has decided to continuously fire the Left Launch Coil after pressing start. I turned the game off and powered up again, but that same coil continues to actuate. Any ideas on where I should start? The rollover micro switch is not getting activated by accident. I did notice a few loose wires (one of which looks to be from the side of the supergame switch). The red-green wire has a terminal that probably needs to connect somewhere. Maybe that's causing this issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated...even photos showing locations for the loose wires in my pics.
Thanks!
[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from durgee7:

Ok, I attached the green-red wire to the coin door switch and soldered that loose yellow-orange wire to the supergame microswitch (that still doesn't seem to light or work). This video is afterward. Notice how at the end I get a ball to load after pressing start a second time. Unfortunately, I kept getting another ball loaded, and it didn't end until all balls were in the shooter lane. I restarted and pressed start twice to speed up the process but no ball would load in the shooter lane, but game thought I launched a ball after pressing launch.
Full disclosure: The person who sold this to me said they had issues with the ball trough and had to fix it prior to sending me a video. I'll never learn my lesson of buying pins without actually playing them. I have a feeling my homework is only beginning for ball trough issues.
Thanks again for all your help. I'm wondering if new ball trough boards are needed.
[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from durgee7:

Yeah, I tried that well before and it tells me to open coin door to enter menu. This game is something else. My previous Dredd was easy to enter diagnostics. This machine is suspicious in that no credit dots appear ( too good to be true). The battery area on the cpu was altered with trace repair wires...not sure if that's involved.

This machine seemed worked well on Wednesday with no ball trough issues. I didn't check diagnostics until today, and now diagnostics are not even pulling up.
I removed one of the trough boards (great lakes) and there have been wires extended using shrink tube. Maybe the wires are kinked and not allowing a good connection to the board.
I am able to play a game with 2 balls (no joke). When a 3rd ball is added, the trough automatically kicks it into the shooter lane, and I end up with 2 in the lane. Same occurs for every ball I add in excess of 2.

Quoted from ibis:

So has anyone ever found a replacement motor for the planet mech? Not talking about the gear box, just the motor itself. It appears to be removable. If not, Steve Young offers a repair service for it, has anyone ever used it before? Cost, time frame, etc? Thanks in advance!

Quoted from ibis:

Its got an open winding according to my meter.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Question for the group. I am trying to figure out how the target bank reset mechanism works, the one that knocks the drop targets down. The one that lifts works fine, but at the start of Safecracker it goes nuts. The solenoid works and is firing, but it does not knock down the targets. It has not worked since I acquired this "100% working and solid" machine... Figures.
Am I missing a part or is there an adjustment I am missing?
In any case, thanks!
[quoted image]

Quoted from Davi:

Looks like the wire is missing.[quoted image]

Quoted from BobLangelius:

Nice 3D drawing, If i do say so myself

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Of course... does anyone happen to know where I can find this part? I can't find a parts number for it or even the item in my manual. Thanks!

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Thank you for the assist!
Can you tell me how big the square in red is so that I get the scale correct?
[quoted image]

Quoted from BobLangelius:

[quoted image]
The PDF should print out at 1 to 1

Quoted from Davi:

20x20 mm.

Quoted from BobLangelius:

Yes

Quoted from flipkidflip:

This is the vertical upkicker assembly for the Sniper Tower, which has broken somehow. From the digging I’ve done, the conclusion I’ve reached is that the longer cylindrical part was part of the plunger assembly and has broken from the the lower metal part of the plunger.
I believe I need to replace the plunger with this: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/02-4668
Can anyone confirm?
Thank you![quoted image]

Quoted from Jmckune:

Just picked up this game. Mine came without a topper and I’m going to be ordering soon. My only question is, what type of hardware do I need to connect the eagle to the bracket and the bracket to the backbox? Thanks

Quoted from Kneissl:

Dredd has a custom piece for the left? switch

Quoted from Calfdemon:

Could I ask a favor please...
Can someone take pictures and measurements of the parts needed under the shooter lane plastics please? The shooter lane plastics on each side are elevated (for an apparent reason I found out) and I need to know what parts / sizes are used to mount those plastics that high off of the rails underneath. I mounted mine low when it was rebuilt and do not have the riser parts anymore. And just to dissuade anyone from lowering their plastics, apparently on the launches (more on the right), they happen so quickly (multiball) and with enough power that some of the balls catch the end of the plastic and will rip them right out of the wood rails. This is obviously why they raised them originally. They look a lot better low, but no bueno...
Thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT: And it has been a while since my JD was torn down. Are both sides elevated or just the right side? I know for a fact that the right side was, I just cant remember if the left side was done to match? Anyway, again, any help is appreciated.

Dear JD owners,
I have the L1AT rom, the ring, replaced both of them. Guess what happened? Nothing changed.
Oh, no, after the second virtual lock the third ball "locked" virtually too... Great.

I have checked the diverter and the left ramp optos, they are working fine! Except in the test the left ramp optos switch 67 says "not used". But it is working.
So, now I have the DW mod, but unusable...
I have read something about the switch 67/32 problem, but everywhere said that the DW mod is working fine without any further modifications.
Btw I have a normal production game (left ramp opto is halfway up on the ramp, no gunner just crosshairs on the snipertower).

Quoted from ReallifePin:

I am final done shopping this beast out. It was filthy when I got it but I'm happy with how it turned out. I have one molex connector to add and then I'm ready to play some games and really get everything fine tuned.

Quoted from OldTor:

Hi, has anyone got any advice for getting this nylon locking nut off? When i turn it the post spins, I can't see the bolt under under the playfield or get long nose pliers under the plastic to stop it.[quoted image]

Quoted from PinballSTAR:

Did Judge Dredd ship from factory with Gold legs or Chrome ? I see Chrome in most promotional items but see very many games with Gold legs with chrome siderails / lockdown.
I know World Cup Soccer had Chrome and Gold (legs only) mix from factory - curious if Dredd was the same or just something that caught on in the aftermarket.

Quoted from PinballSTAR:

TY - the only thing that threw me off was the flyer shows chrome... interesting they switched before production.

Quoted from ReadyPO:

The Soren thread has a key post (#2) that shows the updated ROMs, Post #1 lists authorized dealers. Dredd has not been done yet (as of July 4th, 2022).
Soren Updates:
CFTBL
Junk Yard
Road Show
Mousin Around
Theatre of Magic
Radical
Demolition Man
Keep an eye on that thread, it will be updated with any new ROMs.

Quoted from Days:

The motor of the underworld doesn't work, i think is because of one of the cogs, i saw that there is new motor selling in the USA, but i can't find any in europe and the shipping price from USA + Vat would be a bit expensive.
there is someone making it or selling it on Europe, or making just the cogs? or the cogs of other motors can work , like the motor for world cup 94?
Thank you for your help

Quoted from Days:

it's the motor gears, the motor turns but one of the gear doest turn because of wear off with time/use i imagine.
But if needed i buy a new motor, wanted to see if i could repair first.

Quoted from Days:

yes, it's one of those "wheels /cogs " near the numer 6 and 20.
hooo we can buy just the gear box? would be nice there is a name or a reference for it? it's the same as for world cup 94?

Quoted from jetmechinnc:

I just got this cool pin in my house and I’m doing a nice restoration with new decals, powder coat etc etc. However the big ramp is cracked out on the right side and has been “fixed” using a pencil and some tape lol. Normal searches from Marco and other sites show no stock, is there a pinsider making reproduction ramps for this cool wide body pin?

Quoted from Robotworkshop:

There is also rampomatic. He makes different sets of ramps and does good work.

Quoted from PBlank:

So I ran into an issue with the “Extra Ball” button lamp not working. The button works fine, just the lamp is out. Tried other bulbs, nothing. Even switched out the bulb holder, nothing. I traced the 2 lamp yellow and red wires back to the 5 DIODE SW LMP & SPCR ASSY board and I don’t see any burn spots so I’m not sure what’s goin on. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Quoted from Langless28:

I know the dead world motor info is pretty scarce. I recently had the motor completely seize up enough to bend one of the gear teeth. The two small idler gears on the outside of the motor are supposed to free spin but I had to use a small press to get them off.
30+ year old grease finally collected enough debris and dried out to cause too much friction between all the various shafts etc.
I had to completely tear apart everything, clean, fix the tooth and rebuild.
I am dumping all the photos so hopefully it will help someone else one day.
