Just joined the club! Picked up a project and finally got it mostly completely working and clean, just need a spinner!

Is PBR's white a-3460 the correct replacement? It's the only one I can find in stock.

This game flipping rocks!

A-7861 is the spinner I ended up ordering from action pinball. Their wire looks thicker than Marcos A-7861 and looks closer to stock than PBRs A-3460. Both spinners have same plate dimensions.

I just did this on mine with the help of another more experienced pinhead.

Refer to switch matrix and note that sling switches are not the playfield upright switches, but the end of stroke switches for the sling plunger (wire colors). Slings will still fire even if switch column is out, but will not register points.

I'd bet your whole column 8 is out, including left flipper eos.

Long story short i replaced transistor q46 after confirming it failed continuity test and that did the trick. Confused the hell out of me for awhile

2n3904 is what you want. Yeah lol mine didn't look like that and it was still bad.

Bobukcat is correct in his advice to first ensure wiring is good prior to replacing transistor. Switch test is also important to verify all switches in column are not registering.
I just jumped to it because this is to the T what I experienced not two weeks ago.

I have no clue. I really don't know a ton, the guy I got it from said it is only used as an on off pass and not for voltage, so maybe? Someone that knows more would probably be able to give you a better idea.

What does the right inlane combo to the Yagov kicker do? Left to launch does launch bonus, but can't figure out what the opposite does.

Right, but what does right inline to kicker do? It gives the same light indications as the launch bonus, so I'd assume the kicker does something as well?

Right inlane combo to kicker

This has probably been mentioned, but I just upgraded my flippers to an external spring and hot diggity dog what an improvement! So much snappier. Makes the upper playfield way hotter and an already fast game faster.

I attached the springs to the bracket screws, but will likely drill holes in the bracket as per Vid's guide just because it looks cleaner.

Should the slings and pop be pretty strong?? I've rebuilt the pop, but it is much weaker than my Grand Prix pops (which I also rebuilt). Slings also seem weaker than they should be, and are definity weaker than my other pins. They seem mechanically fine though. Smooth movement, no binding. Just weak. Is there somewhere I should test to ensure they are getting enough power? Are f14 pops and slings weaker than most?

Thanks, that makes sense!

Hm interesting. Now I need to figure out why this pop is weak. I rebuilt the f14 pop exactly like I did my Grand Prix, and the GP is way stronger. I'll have to see if it's just a bigger coil or what, but my F14 pop just seems lazy and not as exciting as it could be

Anyone know where I can find the steel inlane ball guides? Mine are BEAT and cause massive flipper hop that I cannot fix with adjustment

Hot diggity dog, thanks!

On #2, I know for the spinner to register the first switch on the launch wireform must be hit. Have you launched the ball prior to testing? I know this was an issue I had when I replaced my spinner.
