Hi guys,
Joined the club recently and was wondering if you knew where to get the plastics.
Tried the ones from Pinball center, they are crap... blue ain't green!!!

Well I would for sure be glad to buy it as I have no chance of going to expo, being om the wrong continent

Looks good!!
Where are the art blades from?

Anyone has tried the mew cpr mirrored backglass for FT and would have a feedback?

They are listed directly on CPR website

Hi guys,

Have started to disassemble mine for a good clean. The fish is really sticky; any known way to solve this?

Hi guys,

having an issue with mine;
the drop target latch was not wired.

I wired it, and now the coil that drops the target down is activating as soon as I switch the machine on. (I guess that's why the previous owner unplugged it...)
I changed the Q50 associated to it along with the diod; same issue.

Any idea?

Also changed the pre-driver. No change.

Should I swap the LS? :-s If so, which one is it?

well, now that I changed the transistor again (it was tested bad; looked liked it fried before I swapped the pre-transistor) it's now not activating at all.
In test it's not activating.
If I put the tab to ground, the coil works.

Have changed the diod, transistor, pre-transitors and both resistors.

It is better than before as it is not locked on anymore, but it's not triggering now ...

Unfortunately not It is a real issue.

Inkochnito: yes? Shout out

I already checked all the traces and continuity to no avail unfortunately

Awesome, thanks for the info!
Did not find which U was linked to it

u4 changed : drop target down is now ok!

However that started 2 new issues that I don't get; both the right sling and center jet are now never activating.
When I pull them to ground, the coils activate.
Transistors are fine, continuity is fine.

Any idea? :-s

edit: center jet issue was no continuity between R74 and U4. Solved.
Still looking for the right sling issue

edit bis:
U5 changed by a new one, all continuity is ok all the way down from U5 to Q64...
And downward it's ok as Q64 to ground activates the slingshot

Hi guys,

Have been having an issue with my FT that I am finally willing to tackle.
It works flawlessly, except for one issue at a very specfic moment.

When in MB, and the caster's club has been hit, we aim for the jackpot. When I do, right when hitting the monster fish spinner, about 50% of the time the game will just instantly Tilt.
Tilt bob has been removed, behaviour stays the same.

There is something strange there that I really don't get.
Was thinking of a software bug, ordered a new Rom from the latest version, same behaviour.

Any idea?

Will check that, thanks!
But that's weird that it does it only in the MB, not at any other time.

thanks a lot for the feedback!

I actually found a screw in the jackpot saucer, I guess that was doing the short.
Removed it, tried like 6 multiballs, no tilt.
Will keep on doing some tests, but finger crossed that was the culprit!

After more testing: issue is still here and been completely pin-pointed but still no idea of what's causing it.
Nothing is shorting anything, all switches behave just fine.

So the tilt occurs if and only if: MB is ongoing, one ball has been drained, one ball has hit the caster club, other ball hitting the monster fish spinner

This one is so puzzling that I am wondering if it's not located on the mpu board?

Thx.
In test mode everything is showing up as it should and each of those switches behaves normally, but I'll check again and check also D3.
thanks for the link!

nope it does not
I just tried and the fuc*** tilt switch never appears.
I am completely puzzled with this one, and as I am getting tired of it I just ordered a new MPU. Will report afterwards.

new MPU did not solve anything.
At least I have a spare one now just in case.

I am 100% lost here.

Nothing is acting weird in test, or in game except for this very specific issue....
