This should be the right side of the p/f. Correct?

I count only 17 on my HS right side p/f. That should only draw 4.25 amps max on a 5 amp slow blow fuse.

Correct and I have 18.

AC Amps is 0.1 with no bulbs. Ran out of time for more testing, will try tmo.

See if there is a light under the star rollover or the freeway kickout hole. Those are frequently added.

Hi All:

Maybe you can help me with this issue:

Wife is not impressed that I cannot get her beloved High Speed working!

Thanks for any assistance, or sympathy! Take care, Bill

Hi all! Just joined the club a few days ago and am now in the process of fixing mine up.

Wondering if anyone has any plastics lying around that they wouldn't mind selling me? Specifically I'm looking for the big piece to the right of the left freeway (with the 55 mph sign) and the smaller piece that covers the top of the center 3 targets.

Definitely willing to pay a fair price just can't justify buying a full set when I only need 2 pieces.

Thanks!

Ends up it was a bad socket, same socket that I mentioned before.

I've left this club as of last night.

Sold my HS...but gotta hang onto my Getaway.

Hey guys. So I'm having trouble with my machine I recently got. I got it playing with a few minor issues for a couple weeks. It seemed the out hole switch would stop working intermittently. Then the power went out completely. I replaced a fuse in the power supply and it powers on fine again. Problem now is it will only start a game now and then. When it does it won't eject the ball. Switch test seems fine on all of them. Checked them with a ball to simulate game play. The coil test isn't working how it did before. Some fire off but others don't. It doesn't flash that any are bad or anything after the test though just like the switches. I went through with my fluke multimeter and did resistance tests in all the coils, they all had at least 3 ohms which I think indicates they are good. This machine is all original and probably hasn't been maintenced in fifteen or more years. I'm at a loss to diagnose the problem or problems. I've traced continuity through a lot and tested all the fuses. My troubleshooting has led me to much frustration. I made the rookie mistake of buying my first machine as a project and really am regretting it. Any help or ideas what be really appreciated. On the upside I'm getting a lights camera action that works perfectly next week so at least I'll have a working pin while I try to get high speed fixed. Please help me figure out what I can do. I've gone through guides for system 11 to no avail. When I turn it on it doesn't show anything on the display that would indicate a problem. Super frustrated after spending hours (again) trying to troubleshoot it.

Make a list of all coils that don't work.

Did you check for voltage?

I was trying to fix a high speed where the #1 thru #4 flashers won't come on.
That's the left and right blue inserts just above the center circle on the playfield, and the red flashers on the left and right side plastics. The strange thing is I figured it was a bad plug or something because they are all on the one plug from the header to the playfield, but I tested the continuity from the playfield to the cpu and it's good. There must be something obvious I'm missing. Any ideas?

I have a pair of new Getaway sling plastics for sale. PM me.

Hey guys. Looking to help a friend get his HS flippers' EOS switches replaced. Here is what I am going to use for the upper flipper and lower left flipper:

http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=262

What I need help with is the right flipper. I know this one is a stacked switch, but can I just replace the EOS portion of it with one of the above EOS switches and leave the rest of the switch stack alone?

All three EOS switches are the same.

Yes you can. Also clean the lane change contacts with a new dollar bill while your in there.

Awesome. Thanks brother!!

+1

There better be a stacked switch on the left one also. Great players like me need to put there name up for high scores.

I'm sure there is haha. Just figured there would be one on the right too because of the upper flipper. I always wondered why my fire! Had the stacks on each flipper. Now I know!

I'm in the club! I got a restored High Speed at the Ohio Show this past weekend. I'll read through this thread from the beginning as soon as I have time!

Anyone out there installed a shaker motor?
I really like it on my Checkpoint and was thinking it could be a nice first mod.

Just recieved my flasher mods from arkissun they look great!

Just joined the club! Wanted this one for a bit... Love the flow! Hopefully, someone will make new playfields again someday... Mines not trashed, but would love to make it look new again!

Same boat!

Does anyone have a list of all the inserts (sizes/colors) for the HS playfield? I need to replace them, or have somebody do a playfield restore, and can only find one supplier who sells by sizes, shapes, and colors.

Just joined the club today! Excited to have a system 11 game!

Mine works besides the displays. It has been narrowed down to a bad displayed driver. I can't get the machine to go into attract mode and take credits. I was able to do it by randomly pressing sequences of the adjustment buttons and then it worked and took credits and played games. I have seen some posts about this issue so I will try to hunt those down and see the solutions.

I'm missing the revolving light as well.

Mine did not have the beacon as well when I got it. The factory beacon was a 26 vac unit. I could not find one so I bought a 24 vdc unit off the internet and installed and purchased a factory red dome. Simply put a bridge rectifier in line with the two 26 vac line to convert to DC. Has worked great for 9 years.

I found the solution to my attract mode problem; for the purpose of documenting issues/solutions. Turns out the battery holder must have not made good contact. I did the remote battery mod today and on first startup it did not go into attract. I fiddled with the adjustment buttons again and rebooted the game. It now turns on in attract mode. My thinking is the memory kept getting corrupted since it did not backup and since I don't have displays, It was probably in that adjust memory state. Rebooting the system corrected the memory errors and now it's saved by property hooked up batteries.

Hi folks, I've posted on the marketplace, but thought I'd check with fellow owners here. Anyone know of a source for the traffic light housing? (B-10999)

Marco and the other usual suspects are all sold out, and I presume that was NOS. Mine, like many others' it seems, is melted. I'd love to pick up a replacement! Any sources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I had to order over seas last time. Here is a site in Australia that has some in stock: http://shop.mrpinball.com.au/product/traffic-light-sub-assy/

Could someone shed some light on the differences in rom level upgrades? I have L-2 in my game now. What's the advantage of buying the L-4 roms?

How do you know the difference? What are the markings?

Sticker on the rom chip.

Caught this today because I recorded the original teenage mutant ninja turtles last night.

It's impossible to watch the first two ninja turtles and be in a bad mood.

Sweet. Love it

* Sale Pending *

Just listed my siren motor and light cover in the Market for anyone who needs one. Excellent working condition. I also have the brand new, reproduction topper that goes over the top. Send me a message if you want it.

You need to be able to wrap it around the back. I did mine with the playfield removed from the machine. Since it was already all apart to be rebuilt, it wasn't that bad. If I remember correctly, you need to unscrew / remove the ramp. So to answer your question, yes you have to remove stuff and it's a pain in the ass to do with the playfield in the cabinet.

Sorry I couldn't give you any good news.

Just to further clarify, there should be two rubbers installed. Removing the ramp, or removing enough to get it out of the way is best. You will see the diverter mechanism has a plate on the back side. The rubbers go around the back plate of the diverter....they would end up between the diverter plate and the back wood panel.

Can you post pics?

Has anybody bought and installed the padded trafic lights for HS being sold on eBay? How are they? Can I get a realistic pic of them on your PF so I can see how bright they really are?

Got a link?

ebay.com link: itm

The eBay pics make them look quite good. Would be interested in seeing them installed too.

I'm gona order them tomorrow I'll let you know. The ball does have a tendency to bounce pretty hard off the front and left target banks.

Does anyone have a stright awncer on what bugs the L4 rom chips fix?

Well the decals came in today from eBay. They are well coushined. They are not as bright as I had hoped but still an improvement over original targets. The ball does still have a tendency to "jump" but not quite as much. Overall a good product at a decent price. He threw in an extra light for each (ryg) *use a razor blade as recomended* I wasted one of my green decals by trying by hand.

Hey guys wondering if I can get a hand here? I just did a flipper rebuild on my HS! By the time I got to the last flipper I had a pretty healthy buzz. Pretty sure I hooked her up wrong. Can anyone verify if this is correct? It reads fine in test mode and plays fine but coil is burning hot after half a game. My other coils are reading at close to 4 while the suspect coil is reading 86 lol. What wire did I fuck up?

image_(resized).jpeg

It looks like your lug on the left is missing the wire to the eos. Do you have a loose wire somewhere?

Since it's getting hot, it makes me think your eos is not engaging and only the main coil is holding the flipper open. I'm surprised it haven't blown a fuse.
