Quoted from SUPERBEE:Welcome to the club! What mylar do you speak of ? Mine doesnt have any and im pretty sure it never did.
here are the before pics of the failing broken down mylar.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Wow, what a difference. What process did you use to remove the failing mylar, how difficult was it and how long did it take, and did it damage the playfield anywhere? Overall, looks like A+ for Diamond Plate.
Since my playfield is a diamond plate, I knew there was clear under the mylar. I used a sharp razor blade to gently lift he mylar on the edge. I simultaneously pulled back the mylar horizontally while assisting the separation with the blade. I made sure to keep the blade as flat and almost parallel with the playfield as possible. I made sure to go very slow and kept an eye out for any lifting of paint or clear. After all the Mylar was removed, I used a combination of flour and ethanol for the residual glue. The alcohol makes the glue softer but gummy and the flour binds to it so it doesn't stick back. Total process took me about 4 hours. I don't recommend using a blade on a surface that has no clear though.

Hey guys, I'm getting a diverter error on the loop. Coil test shows diverter high works but nothing happens with diverter low. Has anyone had this type of error or suggestions?
Quoted from Charger500:Sounds similar to an issue I had. My problem was the opto on the entrance ramp was bad. A switch test determined which opto was not working. I replaced both the tax and rx opto just to be sure and the diverted error went away. You should also do a supercharger test.
Thanks, I was about to rip everything apart and focus on the diverter which works, just hate those damn error warnings. I will check entrance optos tonight.

Quoted from TheOnlyest:1/24 is way too big if your going to mount it over the lock wireform ramp. 1/43 is what you want.
crap, the one I got is 1:18. That thing will cover half the playfield. 
I'ts a bit pricey but I ordered this one once I found out how big the other one was.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:You'll have to replace that Euro license plate with a good ol' American "KINGPIN" version.
You read my mind 
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:there is some irony to an officer loving a Getaway pinball machine since the entire theme and goal is speeding and avoiding the law.
Why not have the best of both worlds.
Quoted from TheOnlyest:I wish I knew about this when I was mailing stuff to you, ida sent you enough to do your whole game...
FYI, you can buy the stuff cheap in rolls at Home Depot, its just foam weather stripping with adhesive on one side, for doors, windows, etc.
You can use the extra to put a new seal under your lock bar!

Thats a great price. My local distro charges me that by the foot.
Quoted from SUPERBEE:I would cut out the headlights and put lenses in with leds. Have them flash when the chase is on !!!
I already have the cop lights that blind the player when the chase is on. If I put headlights on and connect to GI, it might blind the player all the time. external spots shining on the car might be better.

Does anyone know what the part number is to the switch for the outhole? I've been through the manual and the switch is not listed anywhere.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Manual p 2-40, line 55
Sorry, its the switch for the burn rubber outhole. It doesn't appear in the list of switches on p 2-40 nor does it appear in the detail for the kicker outhole on page 2-22.
Quoted from tiltmonster:this is the one I used from Marco....

I was thinking this one maybe
Quoted from MustangPaul:Uhhh, while your at it clean the red plastic or get a new one then light it up with a dual head red flex led.
Great idea, didn't think it could be done. Will do.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Uhhh, while your at it clean the red plastic or get a new one then light it up with a dual head red flex led.
Outhole washed and clean and I soldered up a new socket for it. I didn't have a red bendy on hand but I put a 2smd premium diffused bulb for now. As an added bonus I took apart the switch since I was there anyway, cleaned it and adjusted the arm, now it works perfectly. Gotta love pinball Karma.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Sometimes I'll turn them all on just to look at them.
I'm guilty of that as well.
