Can I join the club? I picked up my first solid state game recently, a Gottlieb Dragon. It was fun to bring it back to life. Clay's guide was invaluable!

I have a display that is working except for a blank ones digit. Does that mean I need the UDN6116 chip?

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Does the display exhibit the same symptoms when you move it to another player position? Or does the problem remain at the player 2 position?

I hadn't even monkeyed with it yet so I swapped the player 2 and 4 displays, then 2 was perfect and 4 had all digits now but was missing the top segment on all digits. I figured it must be a connector thing then. Reseated the connector and viola, all displays are good! Thanks!

Going through Clay's guide to bulletproof my Dragon after getting it going. Incredibly helpful BTW, thanks Clay if you're reading.

He recommends adding 3 fuses to the small transformer (mine doesn't have its own line fuse). Is there consensus on this? I'm just curious because the large transformer doesn't have its own line fuse either, just uses the combined 5A fuse. Will the large transformer pop the 5A before burning up its primary coil but the small transformer wont?

Hey polyacanthus

You must have me confused with someone else, I no haz parts!

Thanks, I wasn't searching with the correct terms apparently.

A couple other questions, hopefully they're fine here, I don't think they warrant their own threads. First, these finish nails in the playfield, what are they for? Are they original? To prop up saggy plastics maybe? Three in this pic, probably half a dozen more.

Second, I need to add a battery to the mpu, I have holders for AAAs and 2032. How long does a coin cell last in these vs AAA or AA?

Quoted from ForceFlow:

They're factory. They prevent balls from getting stuck in areas where they aren't supposed to go. They're usually found under slingshots, but can be found elsewhere too, as you've discovered.

Oh yea, I guess I heard that before. Makes sense.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Go with a coin cell battery. You won't have to worry about leaky batteries.
You can usually safely go 10 years with a coin cell battery before you should change it out, as long as there isn't a problem that drains it prematurely.

Cool! I know they last a long time in computers but thought maybe these old electronics would eat em faster. Good to know.

Thanks!
