I wonder the likelihood of F-14 getting a hardtop. I’ve not seen anything mentioned from OutsideEdge about it, but I’m sorta holding out hope that one will be made. My F-14 needs one and I can’t spend the cash for a new playfield.

What do you guys think? Pipe dream?

#3911 4 years ago
Quoted from FLASHBALL:

Never hurts to email them and inquire. Im sure the club would like to know if its a future possibility.
If your playfield is that bad there's always the option of just selling yours and waiting on a good one. That's what I did. 2 years later I found one that had been clearcoated and abandoned because the guy left the GI bulbs in the game when he cleared it and it basically glued the bulbs into the sockets permanently.
I still need to solder a bunch of new sockets in as I find the time. But my playfield is gorgeous and 100% better than my first F14.

Yeah, I'm sure they're bombarded with emails of "When will you produce a hardtop for [my game]", but if we never contact them they will never know if demand exists.

Quoted from Phantasize:

Theres always the possibility of a really nice repro playfield. Top quality work:

I don't doubt the quality of Peter's work one bit! He and I did exchange some emails, but the price for his gorgeous replacement playfield is more than I can afford at the present. One of his playfields would be amazing, no doubt.

Good Morning F-14 family! While I'm well versed in arcade tech, I'm still a little green with Pinball troubleshooting. Hoping you've had a similar issue that I am and can tell me where to start.

From a cold start, my F-14 plays great! After playing for half an hour (give or take), the pin shuts down. It doesn't matter where I am in the game, and there's no nudging of the table when I play. If I try to immediately power cycle the pin, it will not work. If I walk away for a minute and come back, it plays like a cold start (plays fine) and the cycle starts over.

Any ideas where to start chasing this down? Power supply?

Quoted from bobukcat:

Most likely the 5VDC power supply.

Thanks everyone, I'll check this and report back!

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

Coming from the arcade game side, I imagine you'll have no issue capping that PS and doing a reflow on the headers. I'm sure it needs it anyway if it hasn't been done prior.

Cap Kits are all day everyday on the arcade side!!

Were you able to locate these on EBay? I wasn’t able to find any listings

Quoted from athenspin:

Does anybody know where these stickers are available to purchase? Thanks[quoted image][quoted image]

#4174 4 years ago
Quoted from Phantasize:

I don't think he has a listing on Ebay anymore. This was the original one: ebay.com link » F 14 Tomcat Williams Pinball Machine Yagov Sticker Decal Mod
You can try contacting the creator here on pinside to see if he still have some available? User Dreg604: https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/dreg604

Will reach out with a PM. Thanks!
