Quoted from Fremen:

I think that I need to replace the Opto 45 (center enter). I tried cleaning them off awhile back but didnt seem to change anything. Thoughts? Thanx!

Quoted from Fremen:

I have one small thing on my machine that I still need to take care of. It has always been this way the 3 years i have owned her. I think i know the answer but wanted to throw out there before i do this....
When the Dogfight/Hurry Up is lit and i hit the center shot to complete it, it will only recognize the shot and give the bonus maybe 1/3-1/2 of the time. When it doesnt it puts the ball back out in the idol and the countdown for dogfight continues. But every time i otherwise hit center shot it will always register a locked ball.

Please give me your opinions, I have the opportunity to powdercoat my indy in 3 colors, gold, silver or black, which one should I choose? Thanks[quoted image]

Quoted from Jireteg:

Hi,
Need some advice.
Single drop target is malfunctioning on start up test IF the drop target is down when I power up the game (tries three fast attempts to raise, then stops and generates an error report)
Works fine in test both up and down.
IF single drop target is up when I power up the game it drops and gets up in the start up test without problem and is working in play without a problem.
Any ideas what can caus this and what to look for / adjust.

Quoted from wolfemaaan:

Clean the target and/or replace it including the coil. You’ll most like need to remove it first. I find tho if you exercise it (lift it manually and hit the drop level) over & over several times it will work. But that lasts only a short while.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Did you install a cliffy there? I had the same issue. On my machine, the drop target was hitting the cliffy. Readjusting the mech solved the issue

Quoted from Jireteg:

Thanks for you suggestions,
I’ve already removed and put it back with small adjustment to be sure it doesn´t hit the Playfield in anyt way, Will try to give it some massage.
Had a cliffy that is removed with no change.
The strange thing is that it is only malfunctioning when the game is turned on and the droptarget in down position, if it is in up position everything on power up it works perfect during initial test and gameplay, and also in test mode. That for me is an indication that it is not hitting anything but is some other strange problem.
Any more thoughts,

Quoted from Ricochet:

I was originally going to go with brass. I still like the polished brass finish but I saw a few in black and I really like how it contrasts with the artwork. I'm in the middle of restoring mine right now. The color I have is actually "gold"... its almost black. It has gold flake but you cant see it very well in the pictures.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Black pearl powdercoat.

Quoted from Ricochet:

This is the actual powder I had done:

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Replace what you can, and make it new again.
Check for loose, frayed, burnt or corroded wire on that circuit, to make sure you are getting enough power.
Check IDC wires at the driver board and clean or renew. Check the pins thete if they look bad.

Quoted from Pinkitten:

Does anyone know where to find the airball protectors that go above the 3-Bank drops and single drop? I’m getting some wicked air.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

I got one from djshakes on here, he made Indiana and tales from the crypt

Quoted from Davi:

I have never seen a nice powdercoated gold (mustard is not gold).
Silver doesn't fit.
Check Ricochet's Indy in black, that's nice. You can also find black version in HEP gallery.

Quoted from Trogdor:

Hey all,
Ball goes in subway trough, only registers at ball check- no ball lock. Do optos register in switch test? I can’t get optos along path to register when blocked. Yes, they are clean.
Thanks

Quoted from wolfemaaan:

So I contacted CPR the other day about releasing an Indiana Jones Williams playfield and the response was interesting.
"Sorry, we currently do not have digitized artwork available for this playfield."
I was expecting the response to be licensing issues. So I made me start thinking, well - somebody might have the digitized artwork for this playfield or how do we get this? I for sure would buy an Indy PF as this machine is bolted to the floor.
So anybody interested in pursuing this?

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Mirco Playfields has stated in a few threads that they are making them. Its been at least a year since announcement, and there was a working on it still few months back.

Quoted from wolfemaaan:

Ah, nice. Ok - guess ill check in with them

Quoted from okgrak:

Let us know the results. I’ve been painting every couple months as well.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Optos do register in switch test.
They are on until triggered, then off.
They work the opposite of regular switches.

Quoted from Trogdor:

Thanks. So all subway optos failed at same time. Opto board fried?

Quoted from Jazzbouche:

Hi all,
My mini playfield just started stuttering when moved to the left. Does the same in switch tests. Having done a quick search on here it looks like the culprit will either be POA optos or flipper optos (or both). Any recommendations on how to proceed. I’m also not sure where the opto boards are on the POA!
Thanks for any help.

Quoted from Energyspike:

I had the same issue, swapped the flipper opto board and the issue persisted. Bought the Williams Indiana Jones Path Of Adventure Dual Opto Board #A-16657 and all is good now.[quoted image]

Quoted from Jazzbouche:

Thanks guys - much appreciated. I’ll sort the opto board. With the effort of getting the POA out I might as well swap in a new component.
Cheers

Quoted from Davi:

It's not - but very similar.

Quoted from Energyspike:

Yes, I snapped a pic from this link...

Quoted from pinballinreno:

You might swap out the motor controller board too for durability.
They seem to go bad in pairs for me.

Do you have a part number for the motor controller board? Available at pinball life as well? Thank you.
