Nice! Keep them coming!

PS remember to check on the top side of the coil (PF side ...)

I’m thinking it is NO DIODE but if that is the case and there is one on there, I don’t think it would do any harm.

Picked up a heavy project. Motor was shot and needs a bunch of little stuff and A LOT of cleaning. It came with a bag of NOS plastics and island decals. I need to find new cab decals but that will be the last thing inpr Baby do.

I just picked up a Gilligans Island I sold to a friend three years ago. Glad to have it back. Does anyone know if new playfields are going to be reproduced or if any are available anywhere? Nothing turned up in a quick search. Or, does anyone make insert decals? I have a few worn off in the center of the playfield rope, shell, etc.

Out of curiosity, how hard are NOS plastics to find or what’s a set go for?

Very hard, almost unobtanium. There are a few sets floating around out there but they will be expensive. I paid $300 for mine a few years ago.

Oh wow. I have a set but I’m not sure if I want to put them on. The game isn’t very nice and the plastic that are on it are not the worst but also not the best.

Just joined the club. Typical cabinet fade and usual battery damage from previous owner. Threw in a new MPU and repaired a burnt GI connector and mines good as new. I put comet 2smd sunlight in mine. I think it looks great! Dont even have insert wear! Next up, Titan rubber!

I have a partial set of Gilligan's plastics still. I know one of them is the massive plastic that sits to the left of the ramp entrance. I can post pics tomorrow.

I like the original but a new one with a LCD screen would be great . Great theme , great theme song and so many options for modes .
Along with Get Smart I think it would be a winner .

Here are the plastics. This is a used set. The first pic shows the broken plastics, two are broken in half and have crap repairs, the top one has a broken corner. (Thurston plastic and the two immediately above it are the broken ones) rest seem ok. I do need to clean them, and some will need to be flattened. I purchased these just for the parrot and the large plastic that is to the left of the ramp, the only ones broken or missing on my old game.

If no one takes those plastics and you would sell individuals, I’d take the parrot, the eggs cover and the pineapple pies plastics

Looking at all your plastics and comparing to my machine there isn't any that I need as the one's you have broken are about the same on mine, so going to pass and let the next person make you an offer. Thanks for posting them.

Quoted from dnaman:
It's been awhile now but my island acts up and seems to hang up causing a misalignment of the entrance from the ramp.
I have video here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/KrDVGYtVQioeLwoo6
If the island goes around a full cycle, I believe that it does re-sync at some point (do. n't recall at the moment). Also, I have removed the island and even raised it up a bit (on the rod) before tightening the set screw in hopes that it wasn't maybe pressing down too hard on the post which is coil controlled (pops up into the holes in the island track.
The one opto on the playfield under the island is brand new.
Let me know what to try, please share any pics that you might have of underneath your island etc...
Thanks.[quoted image]

Recently watched a video on this issue. Fix was to paint underside of turn table black so the optic could read it better. Problem was light reflecting off shiny green underside and messing with the optic. Hope that helps.

Does anyone's game have a white plastic piece below the shrunken head target? It looks like its just there to fill a hole. Is there supposed to be a post there? Or was it optional? I'm confused.
