Just joined the club! Love this game! Found one with the Big Shot intact and not a single crack on the ramp.
Can anyone she'd light on the eXcellent Ray wireform variations? I have the wavy verison, but I don't see that often? Too much cost?
Quoted from Robl45:It is also supposed to have the ridged flippers. Mine did not and I added them after I got it
Mine had the fatter 80s style flipper bats when I bought it. I put in standard 3" modern bally bats. But now I have learned the correct rigid ones are 9/64" longer. This may help with the SDTM drains. I may go ahead and order the correct style from Marco.
Quoted from Coyote:Can someone do me a flavor and grab me a picture of the area under the 'Heart of Rock 'n Roll' plastic/target there next to the ramp?
This is on file in my phone.
Quoted from bicyclenut:When I test all the lamps, they all work. During a game, it seems to only have #1 or #2 blinking. Thank You
The Dude O Meter simply measures where the player is at during any given time and carries overy from game to game on normal settings. The lights are steady on unless you activate multiball. Then the new level flashes. They do not flash in atract mode. Only shows the current progress.
I used non ghosting LEDs in my Dude. Worked perfectly. Most system 11 games require that; at least the ones I've encountered.
Quoted from branlon8:Regarding the LEDs - maybe there’s some other issue with my Dr. Dude because I also tried some non ghosting LEDs and they didn’t look right.
Sounds like a possible shorted socket. When I put LEDs in my game and turned it back on...I had several inserts that seemed to always flicker and never went out completely. Then I noticed the one dome light on the mix master was out completely (those are controlled lamps not flashers). Here I shorted out the tabs under that socket when I installed the led. Check those sockets first ...they are easily shorted.
Quoted from phillymadison:I would really love to get some kind of wire chaser lights to replace the fake wires that go to the mixmaster. I've seen phone charger wires that have it but nothing I could use for pinball.
I have tried EL wire, but it's not really bright enough to be seen when using LEDs. 12v tied into the flashers under the mixmaster.
