Quoted from desertT1:

Anyway, rebuilt the power supply and now this is what I get.

You need to install a voltmeter on the 5 volt test points on the CPU. Retest and note the voltage for DC and AC.

Does it fluctuate when you start a game.

If I could I would let you know, but now all it wants to do is give me a “0” on the MPU, but not audio, insert lighting, or displays.

Terry from Pinball life sent me an update. The stoplight is not looking like a good candidate for the type of 3D printer they have access to. I’ll post if I hear anything further.

So I have an injection molding machine and have been starting to look for smaller things to make to get a little more experience with it. This part seems right up my alley, but I don't think I'd be able to sell enough at $31 to make it worth the effort to have the mold made, knowing what previous molds have cost.

It's a tough one for sure. Need 100's if not 1000's to make it worth while. Not sure what folks would pay but there is certainly a need. Do it as a labor of love for the community!

If I had my own CNC mill and would be able to make the molds myself it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm wondering if there is even a chance at getting to break-even on that. I design my own molds, so it's not nearly as expensive as you typically read about. When you get to that stage, it's no different than any other job to the machine shop that makes the parts.

Consider it on the table. You are actually the exact person I thought of when debating pros/cons of taking on the task. Can you make any ramp you want as long as you don't add decals? Just wondering how many hoops there are to jump through.

Quoted from Pin-up:

How many people need one of those?

Also, anyone got any ideas in my issue above? MPU shows a “0” (RAM passes) but won’t continue the boot process all the way.

#2263 5 years ago

Why can’t the guy who makes the Getaway light on a 3D printer sold on Shapeways do the same for High Speed I think he goes by swinks

A zero is booted.

Quoted from desertT1:

I would start with checking voltages. 5,12,-12,100,-100,18 and 32. If you don't how or where to check let me know.

Terry has not given up yet. He’s getting a quote from someone with a high end printer . Probably won’t be cost effective but he’s looking in to it. I’ll keep the club posted.

Thank you sir. Can I confirm your suggested location for the negative lead on the DMM? Ground braid? Ground plane of the power supply board? Elsewhere?

#2271 5 years ago
Quoted from desertT1:

When testing DC voltage, black lead always to ground. That being said you can use the ground braid if in good condition, any circuit board screw head or the back plane as its metal in this game.

I see that - thirty bucks just for the WALLS of Donut heaven? That's high. If I could find the STL I'm sure it wouldn't take more than a buck to print those three walls. I just picked up a Getaway - and it needs some love. Maybe that will be my motivation to make the design cheaper or even put it on Thingverse.

There’s a big difference between a professional company printing laser sintered parts on $40-$80k machines and a hobbiest printing parts on a $400 extrusion printer. I’ve printed stuff the size of a cupped hand in a pretty common material and they were $150 a pop. Amazing surface finish, which is what I wanted, but the good stuff isn’t cheap.

Reconnect all the connectors on the power supply. Turn on the game.
Now check the blanking signal with your voltmeter set to DC volts, black lead to ground and red lead to a silver spot on the CPU board that says BLANKING It's written upside down just above U-20 pin 2. What do you read?

Leave it to GRUMPY to have the cleanest power supply I have ever seen in a Sys11... fresh header pins, new caps, shiny heat sink...Bravo, sir!

#2278 5 years ago
Quoted from xeneize:

I don't want to mislead anyone here, this is not my power supply. I rebuilt this power supply for heni1977 when he was having problems with his F-14.
His bridge rectifier shorted out and he said he wasn't ready for that much just yet. So I gave it a once over for him GRUMPY style.
I believe the single most important thing you can do when you get a new machine is to rebuild the power supply, after that you will have very few electronic problems.

#2279 5 years ago

Hiya... I just picked up a High Speed so I'm happy to be part of the club. This is my second pin and the first one that'll need some work to get going. My plan is to get it operational before I work on the aesthetics.

What is the best way to protect the playfield from further damage?

I’m sure you know there are playfield protectors.. I have one and am happy with it.

#2282 5 years ago
Quoted from MJW:

I have heard that the newest version playfield protectors are very good. Is yours the new thinner version?

Clear coating sounds like a real pain in the neck.
If i could find one...the official release of the new high speed playfields would probably be the best option, though im sure it would be quite expensive...if you could find one, of course.

#2283 5 years ago

Hi Club, I finally got my first pin, High Speed about a month ago and like others in this club I think it will never leave as I add hopefully more pins in the future. It works well and is in pretty good shape
I am wanting to make some mods that I have seen on the internet. First, I want to update the Police light beacon with more modern police LED light bars. I have seen that Amazon sells something that I could mount on top and trigger off the 28 VAC from the existing motor/light beacon such as shown here https://www.amazon.com/LED-Emergency-Vehicle-Strobe-Warning/dp/B00JW8MX88/ref=sr_1_20
Has anyone with a HS done this recently, and if so what did you use and how did you wire it in? I am comfortable doing my own electrical mods and have some ideas, but looking to see if others have done it.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Pretty sure mines an older one. Didn’t have to adjust any switches and no problems. Protector seems to be the Easiest and cheapest route. I think you can buy an overlay also .

I don't want to get too buried. Is this an acceptable voltage on the blanking signal?

#2288 5 years ago
Quoted from desertT1:

Yes, 2-5 volts from where you measured it is fine. I betting that you have a poor connection somewhere on the CPU board. This could be a bad socket or a loose chip. I would start by carefully reseating U-15, U-26 and U-27. I normally pull out the board that I want to reseat chips on. Then I place the board on hard flat surface and then gently pry up each end of the chip with a very small screwdriver, Not to remove but to just lift a bit. Then press the chip straight back down with firm even pressure until it doesn't move anymore. A good pic of the board set could help by getting a bunch more eyes on the situation. When troubleshooting I find 70% of my problems with my eyes.

I pulled the board, reseated those chips, put everything back in, confirmed everything was plugged in. I get a zero on the MPU, GI is on, but nothing more.

Next thing to try is replacing the CPU chip U-15.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

Bummer. I have a second High Speed that is in storage and worked when I put it away (waiting on hardtop) so I will try to pull the MPU off that and see what happens. I have to put a parts order in for various stuff, so I’ll add U15
To the list.

#2293 5 years ago

I swapped the CPU with the one in my other HS. The one I’m troubleshooting didn’t boot. For fun, I put the pulled CPU in the other HS. It booted. I think I might swap MPUs just for a short term functioning HS, assuming the issue is the MPU.

I was thinking. I was having rare booting issues on my Diner and somebody awesome suggested replacing C30. That has resolved the booting issues. It was similar to what HS is doing. GI would come on but no inserts, audio, or display. The difference being that was rarely happening with Diner and this came up all of a sudden. I bought spares, but they are in the cab of one of my location games. I get some sort of readings on C30 but they are a little bit all over the place. I get similar results with another new cap, so it might just me being a novice with this new DMM. C30 May be good for all I know.

#2294 5 years ago
Quoted from desertT1:

I get some sort of readings on C30 but they are a little bit all over the place.

A standard DMM will not test caps. You can take a new cap of the correct size and put alligator clips on it and then attach it to the old C-30 cap leads without removing it. If it boots with the new cap connected, then the old cap needs to be replaced. But your old board was booting and had a good blanking signal, so it wasn't the C-30 cap.

I'm inda club as well .
But my playfield does not have any damage, fresh clearcoat on it.

Did CPR ever make a run of these playfields?

#2297 5 years ago

Yes, but sold out. Guess they made only 125.

#2298 5 years ago
Quoted from the_one:

Yes, but sold out. Guess they made only 125.

Maybe with the new process they are switching too, they will be available. But in the mean time-

If anyone has a CPR gold uninstalled pf for available- shoot me a pm.

Welcome to the club

#2300 5 years ago

About to join, I think. Trading a working Rescue 911 for a High Speed with a locked coil. Playfield looks real nice though. Pinside shows value in their favor, but I prefer sys 11's mostly. Never played High Speed. Anyone have any thoughts on this trade? Also pins are limited in AK so hard to find specific games. Not like I can wait for the next HS.
