Alright. I'm officially in the club. Mine is a bit of a mess though. It will be reborn as a P-ROC project. Minor modifications 
Anyone have an old playfield they want to sell? I'll also be selling a driver board and the backglass in the not too distant future....
While HS is very modern in many respects, there are a few more subtle details that are (naturally) dated if you go looking for them: those ball blocks, the star rollovers in the back orbit, the leaf switches on the diverters... Personally, I'm planning to undo all of these things with "modern" alternatives. It's not it's fault that it's almost 30 years old!
Quoted from CASTHOF:P.S. I may want a refund from CPR... the colors are wayyy off! Hahaha
Not sure if the picture is hiding major wear, but many of us would do swaps to get something the condition of your old playfiled...
The new one is just insane.
Any way to tell if your switches are low voltage or high voltage? I found some new switches in my stash, but I don't recall what type they are...
Quoted from lordloss:I'll go take pictures tonight and post what I find.
You should buy it. I'll buy your "divertor" ramp if it's not broken. I'm sure many others would too. I also need plastics. Lots of them, but they don't need to be new.
Quoted from Lovef2k:The only thing I can think of that might cause a reset from the flippers would be current draw. Perhaps your flippers had really sticky/dirty plungers and bad coil sleeves to make the mechs very sluggish. Does/did your game have the caps on the EOS switches? Mine doesn't but I have them in the rebuild kits. Anyway I'm glad your game doesn't reset anymore because it sucks when that happens.
My upper flipper seems to mover freely when lifting by hand. Not sure what ails it. I'm going to look into the 50V flipper power supply next.
It could have also been a failing diode and a voltage spike from the collapsing EMF...
Wow. That ramp looks epic. I wish I'd expressed interest in buying one before now! I'm sure the line is a mile long. If not, let me know. It makes the machine look at least 5 years younger (I.e., '91 instead of '86).
Take my money?
Purists: please look away.
Has anyone ever made wire ramps that deliver the balls to the inlanes instead of in front of the slings? The former seems far more civilized to me...
Okay, here's one:
I can play for hours with no problems. When my son plays (he's just under 4 years old) his rapid flipping blows the flipper fuse. What should I check? EOS, diodes or both?
Thanks.
Quoted from Pac-Fan:Check to ensure the right size and type of fuse is installed for the flippers/solenoids. It needs to be a slow blo. Also you could check the EOS and ensure the contacts are clean and there is a 1/8" gap at full extension of the flipper.
Never trust ANY of the fuses in a game until you've inspected every one. Often times they put in larger, other times they may have put in smaller or fast blows.
Thanks. I know the fuse is correctly sized. I've replaced it twice, and consulted the manual before doing so.
I'll measure the gap. It's probably his quick flipping isn't letting the switch open so the total voltage draw is too high. Thanks!
Quoted from Mocean:Thanks. I know the fuse is correctly sized. I've replaced it twice, and consulted the manual before doing so.
Turns out I consulted a misplaced errant williams 2.5A sticker instead of the Sys11 repair guide. 5A, not 2.5A. Problem solved! Thanks. I'm rarely so happy to discover I've been so stupid.
