THis may be a dumb question... but I can not seem to find an answer. Where in the test menu can I define the requirements for the high scores??? On a Stern, for example, you can easily change the 1-5 high scores and grand champion score? Any help would be great
Quoted from Seatmandan:Here are the after pictures. I did a ton of cleaning, refreshing and replacing playfield items that were yellowed or broken, as well as re-building coil assemblies and installed all Comet LEDs
Great job! Where did you get the factory stickers for your lock bar receiver? I'm restoring mine and can't find them anywhere. Thanks!
Thanks for all the kind words! This was my 3rd machine that I've done this level of restoration on.
Quoted from Rondogg:Awesome. Where did you get those instruction cards?
The came with the game. This particular machine's history includes being owned by Clay (cfh) at one time. guy I bought it from bought it from him.
Quoted from Rondogg:Did you sand (regrain) the lockdown bar?
Not on this machine. I usually do, but this one looked like it was at the bottom of the ocean for the last 20 years, so I replaced it with a new one (pinball life)
Quoted from KornFreak28:Where did you get the factory stickers for your lock bar receiver?
Bought them in a sheet with other stickers from Marco. Looks like they are in stock at the moment:

Very nice!
What is the source of cabinet decal set?
Quoted from Davi:What is the source of cabinet decal set?
Left over stock from Illinois Pinball. Bought them second-hand, but from what I understand, the Australian outfit that has screened decals offer the same ones. They are by far the best decals I've installed, hands-down. The Next-Gen ones I've used in the past are a close second

What's the name of the Australian vendor?

Thank you!
Now I remember... A thread battle between Retrorefurbs and Australian vendor in other topic. That was funny 
Quoted from KornFreak28:What's the name of the Australian vendor?
This guy I believe
ebay.com link: Indiana Jones Pinball Cabinet Decal Set Genuine from Mr Pinball
I will say it again- these decals are of unbelievable good quality, colors, texture and the ease of installation. If I had to guess, I wouldn't be surprised if Bryan Kelly and HEP use these on their restos
Hope these weak Williams Clamps will work, I swapped to STERN Clamps.
And the cheap plastic bearings are very bad, I swapped to bronze bearings, too.
Quoted from Seatmandan:KornFreak28, Those look great!
Thank you! Lots of tumbling, sanding, and polishing. Well worth it
I so badly want to restore/refurbish my Indy but I can't stop playing it!!!
Anyone else so in love with this game they've thought of buying two? One for a project, one for playing? Should have stocked up in the early 00's...

Ummmm... yes!!!
Quoted from LitzDoc:I am a new Indy owner as of a few months ago. I must say it is the best game I have ever played. I love the colors, music and call outs. The ramp shots are sweet as well. The toys are great. It reminds me of my TZ.
It's my grail for a reason.

You're the one that restored a Bally Atlantis. 
Does anybody know the correct type and size of screw used to screw the opto (housing) to the plastic ramp? They are super tiny. Thanks!

If am not wrong, you are talking about right ramp assembly, A-16319.
This contains opto assy, A-16909, where I see 1 screw type:
SMS #4 x 3/8 P-PH-A

Hot Babes on dolphins,yeh what was I thinking. 
Fellow IJ owners, Cliffy machined brand new cage brackets and he still has some for sale! This particular bracket is very hard to find! Big thanks to Davi for providing the exact measurements! Big thanks to Lior as well for all the help! I love this community!!!
Quoted from Skypilot:Hot Babes on dolphins,yeh what was I thinking.
I was thinking more of Skittles.
Quoted from Averell:This bracket should be golden to apply perfect with the ramp.
And more helpful is the little cliffy behind the drop target to protect the playfield.
You mean like this? Got it covered my friend 
Honestly, the hardest part of the restoration so far has been trying to install led's on these POA sockets. The main lamp board has some too.
In some sockets, the led's will not go in! I really don't want to crack or damage the board by pushing any harder. Should I unsolder the sockets? Yes, I still gotta clean the board
I remember same issue at the POA.
I carefully distend the sockets, but it's very important that you first test the LED of function.
I had the experiece that often the LED need to be turned into the socket if they don't light.
It will be a lot of work if you assemble the POA and build it in and then you dicover that some LED don't work!

Yeah. I had an incredibly hard time getting a few of the 555s out of the socket. And it was impossible to get the bendy lights into some sockets, had to use regular leds.

I just trimmed the led base to fit it took a min.

Wow! Great tip! Can you tell us how please?

Do you suggest I test each led in a different machine?
I'm not at home right now, but I've noticed the same thing some led's are near impossible to fit in a socket. but if you look closely at the bottom of the led there sometimes too thick or blunt, and wont spread the connector open. So with a dermal just trim down the thickness of the bulb (plastic ) . If your not sure where to do it ,try putting some magic marker on the bottom of the bulb then quickly try and fit it in .then pull it out and see where the marker has rubbed off , that's the spot.
Quoted from Averell:No, if you finishid the POA connect it to the wiring and check all LED.
Thanks! Your restoration looks beautiful
