I somehow convinced a friend to buy a roller disco as his first pinball game! He isn't a member here, and I will be doing the work to get it up. I wanted to make this club to get any info, tips and talk about the game going!

I'll post pics of the game we picked up, but it is pretty clean! Little wear on the pf, some planking, a tad bit of flaking on the BG if you look close. Boards look ultra clean.

Here is the IPDB link

Looking for anyone with pics of there game with LED's or color rubbers to give/get an idea of what it looks like.

Here’s the game

They ran a remote battery pack and put a diode through....

1 Ball game. Not sure why it says 3ball, maybe for a normal game.

I haven’t look through tsb’s, but they did ground those two boards via solder points to the ground on the backbox!

The game doesn’t boot, found the big transistor on the controller board is locked on. Newb mistake, I touched it by accident checking for hot/locked on things and it burned my finger....

Ok, so I actually have a problem with the game...Never posted that!

Bought the game with it "lights up but doesn't work"
Upon checking the game out, the J2 plug to the driver board on the PSU was not connected. Got it to location and plugged everything in, that transistor Q45 was hot as all heck.

Dug into the game:
Left drop target reset coil is burned and the sleeve must be melted, mech will not move.
Under PF transistor has wire not soldered to it
Not all lights on PF come up
Displays do not light up
coin up wouldn't work

Went today to test PSU
all fuses tested good
J1 on PS had correct V's
J2 was missing 12 or 14
J3 IIRC was good
(I should of wrote this stuff down)
Tested both bridge rectifiers in cabinet - tested good

I ordered the full PS rebuild kit from Big daddy
Will order coil/sleeve for left drop reset
Looking to source quality 2N3055's for the driver board and under PF remote

Anyone know what length the A17891 coil uses for the drop target reset?
Anything else I should test/look at? I am gone for 1 week so I will not be able to see the game again (good for waiting on parts!)

Ordered the PSU rebuild kit from BDE, but no schematics to help.. So I am waiting to hear back from PBR if they have that, otherwise force flow had a good link on the pinwiki that sort of helps.

Ordered all clear rubber (per owner)
Installed new transistor under PF and also found the knocker coil at the front right of the cab was seized and disconnected.

I haven’t seen one I person, but I have on eBay or a vendor selling the game I think!

I’m checking dip switches etc and flipped a few and now forgot what the old settings are.

What is on vs off?

Not able to find a good method for removing these pins... I have not purchased the molex tool but I’m about to.

I got it finally! Posted in the sys1/sys80 thread as well. Ended up having to dremel down some paper clips (my small jewelers tools were at home). Re-pinned and now the switches are working! still need to figure out the sound and game start. I think there are some hacks as it is in some weird freeplay.

Glad to see other owners/members! Ordo is the owner and my coworker, but I'm helping him get into this crazy hobby. He is excited to play.

The game is in a book!?

I’m picking up a roller disco, getting it functioning and putting it on route!
I’ll prob get a flippp all in one to get it going and then try to build a lisy all in one as well.

However the backglass broke,
ISO: backglass
I did email Mayfair to see if they had anything and I’ll contact bgresto if a original cannot be found

Just ordered the flippp x1 all in one board.
the game had an issue where the ball eject coil would fire/hold and after troubleshooting I think it was a mpu/cpu issue. We will see with the new board.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/roller-disco-gottlieb-sys1-coil-issue#post-6931890

backglass is ordered!
Can't wait to get this all back together.
i have rebuild kits for for the flippers and pops, and I'll resleave it all. Should be fun on route. May have to get those back legs up though to get some speed going.

mayfair nos. BGresto can make one, but they cannot do "mirror" so they turn that to gray.

flippp board is in. need to get to the game and start installing and testing. can't wait to put this game on route!

ISO: plastic set
My roller disco on route just had a chunk come off a plastic :/ not sure if or how often pbr runs plastic sets

I will update on my issue of the game locking on the outhole (trough) coil.
Flipp board has the game working 100% but the sound was eh, not always playing. I decided to get the flipp sound board as well. Game is 100% now and went to 2d con in the cities and has been on route!

Brought the game home, cleaning it up and will be selling to make room at the location for a new game though.
