Quoted from Turtlemaster:

I just worked on new decals for my IJ
I had bad surprises under the apparent decals that were on the pinball when I got it. The old and probably original one were still there. It took me a while to get them off. I tried to do a neat job.
I found some nice decals in France for a reasonable price. I chose the mat finish as I don’t remember original decals being shiny. They look good but a question comes to my mind. They don’t have a same texture as the originals. The rendering is very smooth and does not have the
same grain. Have you noticed this too? Do you know where to find decals that would be more similar to the Williams originals of the time?
Anyway, here are some pictures of the result. (With some steps of the work.)[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Manny65:

Does anyone still make screen printed cabinet decals for IJ?

Quoted from pinballinreno:

PPS has 4 of the 5 pieces you will need, and they are screen printed.
I dont think any one is selling any of the screen printed ones right now, at least legally.
These guys might be good:

I would get a lot of reviews before committing to anything though.

Quoted from gorditas:

Is the "Super Ball" button supposed to be illuminated when active? The button works, but unlike the start button, is not lit. I can't find a reference in the manual. I've tried the lamp and flasher tests. Thought I'd ask before taking it apart.

Quoted from altan:

Super ball is tied to the same lighting as the fighter plane's flashers...

Quoted from Days:

Hello, when the ball pass on the left lane guide it jumps a little bit since the metal next to the pinball bat is very used with the time.
I want to replace the lane guides but i don't find in Europe any in metal as the original ones,
there is a plastic version? it is better?
Anyone can give me a link to buy it in Europe, or in the worst of the cases from USA, but i will pay extra vat.
Thanks

I forgot I had this... it's a pretty cool flyer.

Too bad that putting it in a frame hides the 3d pop out effect.

Quoted from NYP:

Or you could try these other versions that don't have the pop up:

Quoted from Williampinball:

Does anyone have a pic of when you open up the PF under the PF where the pivots are there is a metal on the back of the PF hanging down on both sides I just don't know how they go back on if I have them right or not thanks for any help

My Playfield is apart to prep for RadCals so I have the following pictures[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Manny65:

Go into switch test mode and verify the switch matrix image on the DMD shows all 6 balls are in the trough, then kick one out at a time and check the DMD image to verify the game is recognising the correct number of balls in the trough. I suspect 1 or 2 of the trough LEDs aren't working (possibly for the 4th & 5th ball)

Quoted from Manny65:

Just to clarify, the game doesn't keeps a specific count of the balls in the idol but rather uses logic to determine it - for example when the game sees the ball-in-play going into the idol, there a 3 possibilities
1. If not Lock 3 and there are 4+ balls in the trough, then trigger a ball to be kicked into the shooter lane from the trough
2. If not Lock 3 and there are only 3 balls in the trough (ie the idol has 3 balls - occurs in multi-player games), then trigger a ball to be released from the idol
3. If Lock 3 (ie MB is about to start), the game will look at how many balls are in the trough, therefore it knows how many balls are in the idol. Hence it'll release the number of balls it's determined are in the idol, and will add extra balls from the trough if there were less than 3 balls in the idol.
So my suggestion would be to fully load the idol and go into switch test mode, and post a pic of the switch matrix shown on the DMD

Quoted from Manny65:

Yep this bit wasn't mentioned before, and points the issue as being in a very different direction. I suspect that the switch on the idol's exit ramp might be the issue - if the game didn't see the released locked ball exit the idol then it believes the ball is stuck and hence why it continually opens the gate

Quoted from Manny65:

LOL have you got a gremlin running around in your machine??
Raising the PF and fixing the idol exit ramp switch, shouldn't have affected these other things and the fact that they seem to be intermittent certainly points to a connectivity issue. Anyway if you're still having issues on a particular problem then post it here and we'll see if the rest of us can figure out the problem or help in out to troubleshoot it. Good luck!
Cheers mate

Quoted from TicTacSeth:

Just joined the club, and super excited about it! Time to look through the posts and see what people have added to it if anything!

Quoted from Manny65:

Just to confirm, you are referring to the 4 service buttons on the coin - the far left (Escape), the 2 volume (- & +) and the far right (Enter) buttons; and the issue is with the right Enter button. Have I got that right?
Sounds like the button is intermittent and sometimes the game thinks the switch is being constantly pressed. You need to determine if the issue is on the CPU board, the connectivity (via the Coin Door Interface board) or the switch itself - Pinwiki shows how to troubleshoot the issue https://pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_WPC#Direct_Switch_Problems

Glad to hear you sorted the dedicated switch issue.
What are the specific error messages you are now getting? What is DRP??

Quoted from Manny65:

You'll get those if you power on the game with the coin door open

Quoted from Manny65:

Were these the error messages?

You'll get those if you power on the game with the coin door open (if you're running L-5 code or earlier)

Quoted from PinballGalore:

Just joined Today! Pickup scheduled for later in the week when I find a decent sized vehicle ! Picked this IJ up for $6500 together with a theatre of magic for a similar sum. Other than the obvious cabinet fading everything inside is in fantastic condition. This completes my wishlist for 90’s titles. Anything from now on is a bonus but the hunt is finally over.
