Quoted from mof:Is there another sys80 like Black Hole that has pops in the middle of the field, or the outlane, that can hurt you?

James Bond, Haunted House, Panthera, Counterforce all have them, although maybe not quite as obnoxious as Black Hole.
Has anyone had success doing both the reset mod and_ the supercapacitor mod on the same MPU?
I have a Counterforce I got a few weeks ago. The computer had a battery. I cleaned it up and thought it would be a good idea to install a memory back-up cap and do the reset mod (I used the substitute for the Dallas chip). This seemed to work, but the computer wouldn't maintain memory. Looking at the schematic, there is at least one connection for VB (the former battery voltage) to the IC that's removed in the reset mod.
(It's also possible I had another mistake here that I haven't found yet.)
Quoted from Robotworkshop:I’m not particularly a fan of the super caps. While some of the 5101 chips barely use any power others can drain that cap in a short time.
I had good luck in the past, and a few caps waiting to be used in a drawer. In this case, I was getting only a little voltage at the cap with the power on_ so I was looking for an additional issue.
This is mostly for my curiosity. Now the game has a nvram.weebly.com NVRAM (which I also had on hand) and it's staying that way, but I still wonder.
Quoted from REGNE:And i know it’s not this thread, but none the less a Gottlieb…ISO a rebound bracket for an EM I got that was missing it. Image also attached. Let me know if you can help me out with one, or the other, or perhaps both!
http://pbresource.com/signatur.html Pinball Resource has reproduced them in the past, although they currently show as out of stock. I suggest inquiring; I strongly suspect they will re-run them when they can.
Quoted from Robotworkshop:I'm going to order two of those new flipper bats but I'm not sure what shaft it uses. The thin shoe and shaft or the thick one? Will either work and if so which one would be better? The thin one if it is lighter?
I believe the SS games all use the thick shoe and shaft. Thin won't work.
