Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow. Have to save Maggie, have to save Jack. Hook is back. I've literally seen this movie 1,000,000 times. Haha. Would like to own this one day.

Quoted from Its_me_aj:Joined the hook club last night!!! Everything works great except for the pop bumpers. Sometimes they barely work, most of the time nothing at all. Any ideas?
Run the solenoid test and make sure they fire there. If that goes smooth, should just be a switch adjustment/spoon adjustment. Good luck. "Don't mess with me pal, I'm a lawyer!!"
Quoted from agodfrey:Hooks needs an LED DMD option... COLOR DMD!! Ha........let's bug some intelligent people to get this done!
Doesn't the Xpin DMD work in this? I mean you have to choose one color, but still.
Quoted from agodfrey:Looking at a F-14- Hook trade.
Both are in good shape.F-14 has very clean mylared PF, a topside tear down and clean, new balls, LEDs, great cab, new glass, new rubbers where needed, superbands on all 4 flippers, great translite, and the history of being Rob Berks old machine (ha). Plays fast.
The Hook has a clean PF, SOME LEDs but not many, superbands on both flippers, great translite, a little damage to the right side of the cab, nothing big, some switch errors that should be fixed by trade time.
Thoughts?
I say go for it. Not a huge fan of F-14 though. I Think most on this thread would agree to make the trade. Seems fair to me.
Got to play for the first time at a friends house last night. Put about 10 games on it. Pretty fun! Love the call outs and the artwork. Multiball was cool too. Didn't get too much else going since I was stinking up the joint. Haha
Quoted from Crash:I think the ramp just sits on it.
Thanks. Next question is what’s with Marco listing two different flipper rebuilds for Hook?
The one I was given with the game was this one:

But the flippers on this game do not even have EOS switches or extension springs.
This seems like the kit that should be for Hook but it’s not list as compatable:

Weird. Haha
Quoted from lowndes8:Hey Guys
In the pirate ship there is three LEDS that light up the extra ball, ten million and special. On each light there is a resistor. One is out but i cannot see in the book what Ohm it is. Can anyone help as i want to get a replacement one so they all light up.
You mean a diode? Black with a silver band on them?
If so. They are 1N4004 or 1N4001. Either type will work. Just make sure your putting it on the right way.
Quoted from lowndes8:Thats the one thanks so much. How did you know that?
Just replaced one on one of the bulbs not too long ago. Those should be on every lamp that is controlled. Buy a ton of those diodes. They are the most common ones in pinball.
Adjust the rubber so that it’s pulled extra tight at the corner that the spot target is near. That will give you some more clearance. Worked for me so far. Probably just a temp fix though.
Quoted from V_piscopo:I've been playing this game.......A LOT. It was cheap and I thought it would leave quickly......I can't get enough. What a great value in pinball.
Growing on me too. The windcoaster ramp is so hard to repeat that keeps me coming back. That and seeing how high I can get those clock bonuses. Got one for 75 million last night.
Quoted from ChadH:Thanks for checking.
Looks like this is the one for Hook actually:
http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/515-5339-00
Make sure it’s right. The one in the picture looks different even though the part number is right. The back of it is angled when the one in the game is straight. Also the games that are listed as compatable doesn’t mention Hook.
Do you have an approximate price you paid to do all three? My buddy’s pops are a little sluggish and they could use a rebuild.
Quoted from bobwiley:Is the sensitivity of the pop bumpers adjustable?
Yes. You have to adjust/clean the switch that is under the playfield for each. Make the switch blade gap extremely close. That way when the ball just barely touches the pop bumper skirt, it will fire.
Never played the Chad code, but default settings extra balls off, my high is like 350 million. The stock high scores on data east are so hard to beat. 400 is the stock high score on the one I play.
Quoted from Chalkey:I've had one game that was around 450, i think my next closest is around 350 but after that I rarely even get above 150. Lots of repeat multiballs and jackpots.
That and I try to jack up the clock millions as much as possible. Had it as high as 100 million before.
Sorry if this has been covered. Does Chad’s code fix the crock time bug?
Apparently if you build it up to over 100 million it resets. So if you’re up to 105 million, you only get 5 million.
Quoted from ChadH:Yep... that bug and many more.. including:
Fixed bug so now Croc Clock is prevented from rolling over from 99 to 0 Million.
Fixed bug so now Fast Scoring is prevented from rolling over from 99 to 0 Million.
Fixed bug so now Bangarang is prevented from rolling over from 99 to 0 Million.
Fixed bug so now Jackpot is prevented from rolling over from 99 to 0 Million.
Nice! Those bugs are serious. Haha
Quoted from Chalkey:If you play like me you never knew they were there. What's your GC?
Moved the game onto my buddy’s house so only had it for like a month. But I got like 350 million I think.
Quoted from Chalkey:If you were getting croc time over 100k i figured you'd be in the billions!
I wasn’t getting that. I thought I was, but the bugs were killing me. This game doesn’t have chads code on it.
