Quoted from dmacy:

Minor progress while parts are incoming and tumbling. New pop bumper plastics, springs (and eventually) spoons. Targets cleaned, adjusted and tightened. GI lighting is CT 2SMD cool whites.

That cleaned up great.

I put Comet 2 smd clear dome bulbs in all the inserts, makes a world of difference.

What are ya gonna do about the plastic ramp? Flame polish?

#32 6 years ago

That looks to be a custom part, might have to make it yourself of buy the whole assembled part. Did you try to find that #3 part?

Quoted from dmacy:

Progress pictures. One of the allen bolts snapped on the right flipper pawl before it was even starting to tighten up. I guess it isn't just WMS machines this is prone to happening. But it had a non black oxide bolt on that side which I should have realized was going to be an issue.
Ramp cleaned up great; I don't think we will need to do any ramp melting. I mean flame polishing.
Waiting on the parts Grimes found for us that should be here today and then should be able to start testing.

Yeah you can get those Grade 8 cap screws at any hardware store. Coming along nicely.

Quoted from dmacy:

We ended up lightly flame polishing ramp. New mech parts installled and assembly in place. Flipper mech replaced and installed. Some solder work and should be ready to test.

That's shaping up nicely.

Quoted from dmacy:

Hopefully you can see it ok. Will try and get another picture more specific. Not sure if this is correct, but how it came off. It is under the rubber FWIW.

That wire should be sticking out, that's what deflects the ball, yours is worthless like that.

What does that control? Maybe whatever it controls the diode blew and took it out. That's what happened the the diode on my shooter coil on my T3. The factory fix for that was to put 2 doide's on it.

Quoted from dmacy:

Spring installed and does help big time. Unfortunately after many games (30-40) the transistor failed and locked on for magnet. So something is up. Worked fine until I had heavy use of magnet with multiball.

Aw man that's a bummer, time to pull that board in the bb and see what's up.
