Yup I picked this up like a week ago. She needed some love hahahaa... Lots of flasher issues which made me have to end up rebuilding the flasher boards under the play field, needed new decals for Yagov and lock/ landing. The Yagov Kicker was broken (Wire was disconnected and needed a new sleeve as it was super broken). Lots of Incandescence still to be replaced in the GI also sort of an odd mismatch of cool and warm white leds where they had been replaced. Needed a cleaning all the way around and particularly in the cabinet (The amount of dirt and grime I pulled out of that thing is impressive). It also needed a right ball gate for the kicker by the pop bumper). It has some audio issues (Like when I turn it on it just plays music, I still get the bong noise when it boots but it just seems to start playing sort of like carnival music). Otherwise though the audio works without a champ. Someone drilled the speaker panel cover into the panel with dry wall screws and the translight is in very bad shape and has been super taped or glued to the glass. (These parts have been ordered from Pinball Center from a friend in Switzerland). The PF will need to be swapped at some point as the dirt in between the mylar won't come out (Any ideas on this I am all ears, I've tried Naptha, 97% Rubbing Alcohol, and Clorox Wipes (Weird thing to try but you'd be surprised those things are strong). All in all though it has been a hell of alot of fun to play and has been a super fun project. Happy to have joined the club!

Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:

Not mine but I know the guy.

Question, I think the answer is no but I figured I would make sure before I started digging into it. When I boot up my F-14 should the only thing I hear be the bong from when the sound board boots? Currently when I turn it on I am hearing some music. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

What is the correct color for the beacons? I think its Red, Clear, Blue but some people think instead of clear it should be yellow and other have told me instead of clear it should be white. I bought clear as I already had red and blue.

Not sure if anyone has these but I figured it can't hurt to ask. I'm looking for the left in-lane plastic and the right sling plastic. I have both of them but sadly they are cracked and or chipped. If anyone has these left over from where they've replaced their plastics I'd be happy to buy them off you

Does anyone have a used right sling plastic without broken corners? It is the last piece I need in order to finish my F-14 shop job Thanks!

#3528 5 years ago
Quoted from InfiniteLives:

could any of you fine f-14 owners let me know what the fuse value is for the in-line fuse box? cant find it anywhere in the manual or im just dumb.
was thinking its probably an 8amp slo blo but dont really want to blow stuff up.
got a game that was missing it so want to make sure i dont wreck stuff on it.

I'm pretty sure it is an 8 amp slo blow. I can check when I get home. To confirm this is the one that is in the metal box in the cabinet right? Thanks!

#3530 5 years ago
Quoted from InfiniteLives:

Yeah, the one in the metal box where the power comes in next to the service outlet
thank you!

You got it! I'll check when I get home (A few hours from now)

#3533 5 years ago
