I have no lower and upper light´s on the playfield... Can it be because of this connector?

#15 11 years ago

Thanks all, today im going to replace the fuses, but unfortunately i dont have the tools to replace the connector yet....

Regards

Hello again

For reference the connector that is burned controlls only the backbox lights... I just remove the burned connector, change all the fuses for new ones, remove and put again the connector that controls the playfiled lights and voila, its working...

Next step check slingshots and bumpers, i guess they are a bit weak, any tips!?

Hello,
Last night i was trying to "silence" my pinball machine using this tecnique:

Im going to try to silence my machines using this tecnique:

http://tuukan.fliput.net/shutup_en.html

Coilstop damping

Much of solenoid noise is cause by plunger hitting the coilstop. However most work is done during the pull in phase. By softening the coil stop, solenoid noise can be reduced. One way is to glue a soft plastic part onto coilstop. This can be used on flippers, bumpers and slingshots.

If you have recently replaced the coilstops with new ones, the thickness of plastic may cause problems. This damping method is best suitable for slightly worn parts.

But now if the bat is up and the ball hit´s it he goes down again, is looks like he as no strengt..
Any ideias pinsiders!?

Regards
