From the photo I saw, it's the Williams one. (phew)

I haven't gotten a detailed list of what exactly was wrong, but there was something with a flipper - either sticky or doesn't work at all. (it was at a wedding reception with an open bar that I got the umm details)

I downloaded the manual, might buy a schematic if I can't find one for dl (anyone got one to share?) and I'm trying to put together a rubber kit and fuses. I didn't see in the manual where it says what fuses it has; just not to replace them with ones of a different amp. Anyone know what fuses it has? Also looking in the manual on page 6 where it shows rubbers around the center http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/2265/Williams_1972_Spanish_Eyes_Manual.pdf it has 2" around the top area, but it doesn't say what's on the sides of the center.

So if it's just the flipper coil or cleaning the contacts, yay, easy, makes me look like I know what I'm doing more than I do lol. Any tips, information or notes on pecularities to this machine would be appreciated.

Buy the schematic and the rubber kit from Pinball Resource. They'll send you what you need. The fuse ratings are on the schematic, you can get the fuses at a hardware store.

Any EM is dependent on the stepper units working properly. If they don't, the game will never work properly. After that, it's a matter of checking switches and relays for proper adjustment.

I'd opt for the free version myself. Whenever they are available.

Hi Sharon
about the rubbers: I look in ipdb-schema-page-8, around top area: 2 inches, the ones on the side are shorter - I look at the drawing of 1 inch rubber / 1.25 inch rubber -> I suggest 1.25 inch rubber.

Schema ? I say "to every pin there should be a schema and a manual". GREAT, it is a Williams pin - I always like the Manual: http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/2265/Williams_1972_Spanish_Eyes_Manual.pdf -> starting at page-15 (Number Match Unit) -> -> -> page-22 the relays (starting with "Lock Relay"): a description of the switches and the colors of wires - (I LIKE Williams Manuals).

For to start (fuses ?) Start-up procedure / general like "making 10 points and such": The best 1-player-pin with a schema I can find in ipdb: Super Star: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2446 (maybe You must make a copy (down) onto Your computer: "Righthandside Mouseclick" -> Save Target as ...

Manuals, yes. Schematic, no.

It's in there.

I meant I don't use online schematics because of the size of them and the issues printing them. I'm fine with paying for those.
