Hey everyone! Finally happy to report that after a long search, I am now a proud owner of a home use only Freddy machine that could not be in better shape! I have a bunch of mods and fun things I'm going to share here shortly, but first...

Can anyone confirm the proper position of the BOILER ROOM DOOR at various points of the game? I have never seen mine 100% UP. It only ever rises to about 30% UP. That said I'm not that good at this game yet and rarely get over 100,000,000 (not sure if that matters or not).

If anyone could lay out how the door should be functioning, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

JJJJJS That thing is amazing! Ever consider making more? Also, I saw another owner stick a "flame bulb" inside the house in a video and I thought that was perfect for that piece. Another awesome idea.

Perfect. Thanks for responding. Guess I have to check under the hood here.

Hey everyone, I made some custom rule cards that match the theme of the game. Those yellow xerox copies just weren’t cutting it. Let me know if anyone has interest and I’ll post the high res files!

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay. I made these things super high-res @ 600 dpi.

Since Pinside doesn't allow TIFF attachments, here are the high-res files:
Rule card #1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmihj6gwgqsd6iu/freddy-pinball-card-1.tif?dl=0
Rule card #2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dsrgv80mnvbozr/freddy-pinball-card-2.tif?dl=0

And just to check em out, here are some PNG attachments. You'll have to trim some of the black off both cards to make it fit! Let me know if anyone has any issues!

Alright everyone, what do you use to clean your Freddy playfield? I've been hesitant to use any sort of chemical on machine since I first got it, but it may time.

Any tips on cleaning up a 25 year old Gottlieb playfield are appreciated!

You just saved me days. Thank you. Trying this fix on my door this weekend!

Hey everyone. It's been a while!
Two questions for the group...

1) What is the Playfield Protector of choice for those of you who are going that route? Any issues?

2) My Upkicker behind Freddy's head, which sends the ball up the wire ramp, severely lags at this point. A lot of times during game play, the ball will just sit there for over a minute or so, and then eventually kick up and send the ball up the ramp. Beyond getting an entirely new Upkicker (which are hard to find) what part/parts should I be looking to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Thanks a ton for the reply, @newtothis. Definitely something I'll dig into. I guess the only thing I'd add is that not all upkickers fire looking for a lost ball, it's just the upkicker the ball is in. Unless of course, maybe that's the first upkicker to look for a lost ball, it finds one, and the game continues? I'll definitely report back!

I have those sideblades too, they're awesome. BTW, sweet rules cards!
