As I will tell anyone they are bolts screws and nuts.

Hardware store has what you need. Same as springs, washers, eclamps, cotter keys, cletus keys etc.....

Just go to your local store with the part you need to mount. Or if you have a manual look up the actual part description in the manual or online.

Problem solved and it is way cheaper too.

Yeah, a simple trip to ace hardware would handle this issue.

The ones that screw things into the cabinet are just wood screws, the ones that mount to the motor are just a standard size of machine screw, just take it with you and try a few.

Any help would be gr8 peeps

You're gonna have to go to a hardware shop or somewhere that sells washers/screw.

You need to improvise a little here I think.

#11 11 years ago

Any washer will work, just make sure it fits on the bolt and doesnt go over the head.

If I get home early enough tonite, I'll open the backbox and tell you what you need.

Unless someone here beats me to it.

You may have the shaft of the motor touching the sides of hole it goes through. I just had this same problem on mine. I added a couple washers to one side to make it centered in the hole better and now it rotates great.

Someone replaced the motor on mine though and it is not the right one, the shaft is too short. I also can tell they either made new washers or cut down ones that were there already and it didn't help.

It could be a multitude of things. for displays that age, mostllikely gassed out. I would replace it with a pinscore LED unit. You rarely use the fourth player anyway. So it would be worth saving for.

the flashers are governed by a flasher board. these resistors can get hot and degrade over time. that could be the blue flasher problem too (most likely coincidence, as the flashers are not isolated by color) Check your bulbs too. the Beacon bulbs are kind of uncommon and often replaced with the incorrect type that is prone to burn out.

the motor could be burned out or dirty, there is well documented fix documentation out there

Flasher boards look like this

And I know this is nit-picky, but punctuation would make your posts way easier to read.
