Love mine, picked it up for $300 3 years ago. Replaced a rectifier, cleaned up the main board & it works fine.
Great game!

..... Or maybe a nice overlay for the "wheel" in the upper right that is always worn....

That's a tough play field to touch up. A lot going on there.

Damn that playfield looks nice.

What's with the add-on white button on the front?

#77 10 years ago

What was the approximate cost for HSA to do this?

Nice!
Has anyone done any decal work on the "wheel" yet?

CPR rocks!
Thanks Stu

Quoted from Pinwiz1985:

SWEET! For a low production game (~2250) this game sure has been receiving a lot of attention lately.

That's because it's a kick ass game...

Anyone used the translucent blue super bands on their Embryon yet?

Quoted from Pinwiz1985:

There are staples that hold the bare ground wire to all the under PF lights (GI and CPU) where you need to remove them.

Uhh, that's NOT ground as you would expect.. That is the power side.

Coil could have a broken low power winding. If it is "machine gunning", then typically that's what it is. Normally they break right where the low power winding wire attaches to it's lug & you can just carefully unwrap it one turn, sand off the insulating varnish on the end, & re-solder to the lug.
If the low power winding is broken the coil will behave as it should thru the high power windings -- but when the EOS switch opens & power is sent to the low power side of course it just falls back & closes the EOS switch, thus endlessly cycling the flipper coil.

Quoted from Pinwiz1985:

Everyone, Brian at HSA has completed my PF. I invite everyone to please help me look over the before and after pictures. Just spent 20 minutes going through them and so far I cannot find any major inaccuracies of the artwork. So far I am VERY IMPRESSED!!!!!!

What was the cost on this job?

#273 9 years ago
Quoted from ghostbc:

Does anyone know if there are any small overlays available with the art work on them for the usual worn area's like the top where the ball enters the playfield ? If so where should I look. I just got this game and put 7 digit display's in it.

Yeah, it really should have had 7-digit displays from the factory. Debating if I want to do that to mine or not.

That was nasty

Quoted from Stu:

Ok guys ( and gals )......We are now ready to announce that we have released our new Embryon Plastics.....

Stu - I see on CPR's website that you guys now have a 50" sander. Big enough to do the widebody playfields. Any plans to reproduce Embryon to go along with these plastics?

Has anyone received the plastics yet?
Want some feedback on quality before I order.....

Hit the two lower inlanes A & B, then the "flip save" feature should light.

Quoted from Hazoff:

I'm in, finally. The wait was long but worth it.

Welcome. I have had mine since 2010 & it still gets played with vigor. Great game, gotta love those early 80's Bally's!

The sound board probably needs to recapped.

CPR needs to do an Embryon repro playfield. Seriously.

Playfield looks pretty good!

#458 5 years ago
Quoted from TooFiddyMan:

Maybe its on here somewhere but, why did the play field wear so bad on the inserts up in the right top corner? Seems like there is a lot of area that the ball could go other than just over the yellow multiplier insert.....just curious if anybody knows of a reason other than the obvious high traffic area....
[quoted image]

Super common wear area on Embryon.
It gets a LOT of action up there. Loose & or sunken inserts are the main culprit.

Quoted from classicgamefan:

Yes, those original Embryon concept / backglass artworks have been getting relisted for several months. Would be very cool to have, but I can’t justify the prices myself. For future historical reference, there is a $4000 BIN for the backglass artwork and $680 for the playfield concept art.

Correction - several YEARS they have been relisted

Quoted from Jon9508:

Joined the club today. Playfield has major wear. But it still plays good.

Congrats! Embryon was my first pin 11 years ago & will never leave.
