Does anyone have the original Magnet Part # to replace the whole magnet?
Thank you

#1268 3 years ago

Awesome... Thank You

Quoted from JeffF:

This is the one I used on our Gorgar. Perfect fit.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Master display went out and found a burnt resistor and some other bad ones. Would you repair 41 year old board or buy a new xpin display kit and no worries about the board going out?
Have to put in new magnet and wait for Rottendog mpu driver board resistor to arrive. This Gorgar restoration will hopefully get finished at some point. Fix one problem then a new one pops up. Taking forever.

I had a similar problem and decided to go with the XPIN kit. I was able to get it for $179.99 NEW on ebay from BIG DADDY! I sold my original displays and was able to get $35 + shipping for each of the Player displays which paid for a big chunk of the New kit. I have not sold my Master Display yet but plan on doing that soon.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

I ordered the XPIN on eBay from same seller. Had in my cart and he offered it for $179. Glad I did it. You did well on the slave displays. I will do the same. Selling 4 slaves definitely takes a big chunk of the cost from the xpin cost. How do you like the xpin displays? Thanks for your reply

I sold the Slave Displays individually and they all sold within 3 weeks. My Master works but it is having issues with it's own display so I will have to try and sell that AS-IS. I am not sure what I can get for that. It works and sends the correct signal to all of the Slave Displays but the display on itself flickers and does a few goofy things. I didn't want to mess with it and figured LED is the way to go now days. I like the XPIN setup. Very very easy install. The owner of the company is absolutely incredible to deal with. If I remember correctly his name is Brett. The guy talked to me on the phone for an hour just chatting about the Pinball world. Really Cool individual.

I ordered some of the coin inserts about a month or 2 ago from UPKICK so I assume they are still selling them. I also got some of the Apron Instruction cards from UPKICK as well.

Agreed... The magnet will not go bad just because it has not been used. The likely things that can go bad without use are the Caps on the boards.

Quoted from pyrotech:

On my Gorgar there were zero lights behind the backglass, I know some lights flash but I do not know which ones can someone send a picture or tell which ones do flash? Thanks

You dont have a single light coming on in the Backbox? Is there anything displayed in the Player 1 score display like an error code?

Quoted from pyrotech:

There were no lights in the sockets when I bought Gorgar.

Gotchya.

A friend and I just went through the process of completely debugging my Gorgar. Everything was going crazy on it and nothing made sense including some issues with the lights. After cleaning up some wiring, replacing a bad coil and etc. it was still doing weird things. When the ball would go over a "roll over" in the lanes towards the bottom of the playfield the game would automatically tilt. Some of the slingshots weren't working and so on. It ended up being bad 40pin processor chips on the Driver Board. Fortunately I recently won an auction and received 5 bad Driver boards and we were able to move some parts around until we found good working chips.

Quoted from pincoder:

Check the ICs related to the switch matrix. There are four. Two are for outputs to the switches, two are for inputs. I don't have access to the schematics at the moment and I don't recall the ICxx numbers. Two of the four ICs I'm referring to are 4049s
If you want to know more about troubleshooting the switch matrix you can download these test ROMs:
https://pincoder.ca
Check out the 06-switches.txt file in the Williams/sys346 folder. Just reading it may help you understand how the switch matrix works and may help you narrow things down.

Any ETA for the Pincoder Controller?
