Hi, new here. Does anyone have a lamp board for the back flashers. I picked up a Tomcat and it is missing this part.

Okay, so I bought this flasher panel for back flashers off ebay. Put new 89 bulbs in. Flashers 4 and 6 did not work. Flasher 4 had cracked solder where bulb socket connected. I tried to add solder to stabilize. I am complete rookie at soldering. It didn't fix the problem. So, I thought, well 4 out of 6 flashers isn't so bad. I replaced all bulbs with led' s including flashers EXCEPT for back panel bulbs. I did this because heard would still work if left bulbs in back. Now, none of the bulbs in back flash even in test. Also, all but the flashers above pop bumper stay permanently on (330 ohm reistor issue, right?). Any ideas, also anyone want to take a crack at fixing the board if that is the problem?

Connector was still on and tight. 4 and 6 flasher on table work fine. It was strange, 1,2,3,and five all worked. Then I swapped to LED's (leaving 89 bulbs in back panel) and now they don't light up either. Tonight I'll pull the resistors. Think that will bring the others back to life?

#2499 6 years ago

When pulling 330 resistors, do I pull ALL of them? That is, each one that is next to the longer (5 ohms) ones? I guess, I'm also wanting to verify how many of these resistor boards there are. Afraid of disconnecting something I need.

#2501 6 years ago

Thanks for the help. Cut the 330's and flashers working. Played around and with LED's the back flashers worked again as before. Playing with #6 got a faint glow, so think the socket is bad...will try to clean it and see what happens. Pretty sure #4 is a solder issue. I stink at soldering and after 3 tries have failed. So, perhaps this weekend I will just take the time and do some soldering practice on some spare wires. Moving too fast for my skill level. But enjoying it. It's an addiction I never saw coming. Thanks for all the help. Will check back in when I have an update.

you could also search for "phantom tilt". That is where I found my solution. It was a bad scrc6 resistor on the MPU. The Pinside Forum Topic title for this fix is "f14 slam tilt issue...". Hope you figure it out.

BACK IN THE CLUB BABY! First time I have bought a pin for a second time. It is now bolted to the ground. Oh, how I have missed this game!

Playfield is great. Previous owner removed mylar, put down new decals, and clear coated it. Plays great.

Is the multiball music supposed to end when you drain all but one ball? Mine continues until start next ball.
