Quoted from Kahanaohana:

if you repair pins, ill fly you over for a couple days of sightseeing and maintenance.

Quoted from Lermods:

Picked up a really nice IJ last week, plays great. One issue I have is the flippers are very strong for the ramps, balls fly off them, mainly the right flipper hitting the left ramp. Common? Is there a fix for this? Previous owner said he had rebuilt the flippers not long ago. The coils used are fl15411 (left) and fl11629 (right). The fl11629 looks much bigger.
Thx

Quoted from Skypilot:

Astropin,
Is that a heating plate you used to remove the decals?

Quoted from paynemic:

Beautiful. Did your red lines not line up on the left front of the cab or was that just my set of decals?

Quoted from koops:

Very nice.
Have you considered cabinet protectors ( http://www.johns-arcade.com/#!product-page/c1cs/237c0859-05c6-3b0c-ce9e-76af5bb8b0a8). The suggestion is to cut around and remove the decals that would be under them to stop the decals from becoming wrinkled when the legs go back on.

Quoted from Kronlar:

That metallic bronze powder coat looks amazing. Can you share ballpark
price it cost?
I need to find someone to PC my parts after seeing that.
Thanks

Quoted from Kneissl:

My orbit shots seem to rarely make it past the roll over lane area (seems like the ball spins out into the lane area). Anyone experience this, and how did you fix it?

Quoted from DeeGor:

Looks great Astro. Is that a brown?

Quoted from JosiahCox:

I am having a hell of a time getting into this club. Been waiting patiently but so far no luck.
If anyone has a lead an IJ please PM me. I don't care if the cabinet is faded or if it has bullet holes in it. I just want one that plays decent and I am fine doing a little work if the price is right. I am on the west coast and don't mind doing some long distance driving either.
Hopefully I can join you all someday soon. Cheers and I'll go back to lurking in the shadows now.

Quoted from Jgaltr56:

I'm getting the same stutter in my POA. It seems to work normally soon after start up, and I can usually get through the POA test but then later during gameplay it will start to stutter. I reflowed the connectors and the large copper coils on the bridge driver board A-15946-1 . It seemed to help for a while but now it's stuttering again. I'm not having any luck finding a replacement. Marco, PPS, Ministry of Pinball are out of stock. Has anyone had luck repairing this board or has a spare they are willing to sell? Am I looking in the wrong place? I don't believe the set screw under the POA is loose because it works normally sometimes too.

Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:

Just joined the club yesterday! Picked it up from a non-collector so I'm sure everything is not working 100%. I only had about 10 min on her yesterday before bed and have one question. With the path of adventure - what type of movement is normal when engaging the flipper button? Does it move fluidly one full crank each way, or should it move two cranks each way with two flipper button pressed. Not sure if I'm describing it right, but basically mine moves about halfway to one side with one button hit, then a full tilt to the side with the second button pressed in the same direction.

Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:

Can someone do me a favor and post a picture of the wiring to the drop target bank coil? I removed the mechanism to clean and have some confusion on if my wiring is correct. I appreciate it!

Quoted from lanfeust:

more pics...
unfortunatly pictures don't show but colors on cabinet and playfield are still bright and deep, just very dirty...

Quoted from Pinphila:

Anyone wanna sell one ?

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Let me ask you guys something: When you play a game and for example you lock 2 balls during that game. Then you drain and the game is over. When you start another game, and you lock a ball (2 balls are in the idol from the first game) Instead of a ball popping up in the shooter lane, the idol just spits a ball from the 2 that were left in the idol from the previous game. Is that normal behavior?
Are the 2 locked balls in the Idol from the first game supposed to drain before the start of a second game? Thanks

Quoted from PeterG:

So there is no spitting out after a game is finished (like Ghostbusters).

Quoted from DANGERTERROR:

I was getting too many fly balls so I made this protector for the drops. Thought I'd share it -- works like a dream. Just bought a sheet at the hardware store and cut it down, ground the corners, drilled some holes and no more balls to the outlane! Made one for the right ramp as well.

Quoted from Elevatorman:

Does anyone know where to buy gold or brass colored pinballs besides Pinballdecals where they are $19.00 bucks a piece.
That's a bit crazy when you need 6 for the game plus the captive ball.

Quoted from per3per3:

What's up everyone! I'm excited to have joined the club earlier today but have a few issues that I'm hoping to get help from you guys to solve so I can fully enjoy this sweet pin. I will caveat the first one by saying that both trough boards (transmitter and receiver) were replaced less than a year ago from Great Lakes modular:
1) a ball will sometimes take a while to register a drain and/or not load into the shooter lane at the start of a new ball without lightly shaking the machine a bit
2) on a few occasions, a ball randomly gets placed into the shooter lane during a game but doesn't launch. Once a ball is drained and it's time for the next ball, a ball is loaded into the shooter lane so there's now two (the game doesn't recognize the initial one that was already there from the middle of the previous ball.
3) more than one ball is launched from the trough or from the idol (usually after a ball has been locked but not 3 to actually start multiball) so there are multiple balls at play but there isn't supposed to be. Once a ball drains, the game registers the end of the ball which confirms that the other ball still at play isn't legitimate
Are these all connected? All of the trough optos as well as the ball lock and idol (entry opto and exit switch) all seem to be working correctly in switch test.
Is it possible I need a new trough? Could the newer trough opto boards be broken? Both?
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!!

Quoted from per3per3:

Sorry to dominate the thread but I've got one more diagnosis item that I'm sure you all can help with:
Every so often, the diverter post (the one operated by a coil that stops the ball before the path of adventure entry) doesn't pop back up when the path of adventure is lit so the ball just goes right past it and down the metal ramp back in play (the path will move right and left when this happens as it expects the ball to go there).
The post moves freely up and down and the coil and wiring seem fine. The post isn't bent and it's centered in the hole with nothing blocking its path.
Any ideas?

Quoted from per3per3:

Could someone confirm the correct process/actions of the idol once you lock the third ball to start multiball: the third ball should enter the idol, it should then rotate, the idol lock door should open thus releasing a ball, the idol lock door should close, the idol rotates, the lock door open releasing ball #2...etc.. and this corresponds to the elephant sound.
With mine, I think I'm having an issue with either the lock door and/or the exit switch as the idol motor and optos seem to work. With mine, it looks like the lock door doesn't open and close for each of the three balls and the third ball only is released once one ball drains. I found another thread that says it likely either an intermittent idol exit switch or an issue with the idol lock door assembly. Someone even noticed an issue with the corner tip of the lock plastic catching the plastic and not closing properly.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Can anybody PLEASE take a picture of the nuts that hold the gun in place from inside the cabinet? I need to see what type of nuts are used. Thanks!

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Are they covered in nylon or plastic inside? Thank you!!!!!!!

Quoted from Fremen:

Hi Everyone. after many years of saving and several months of looking, i finally purchased my first pin ever, beloved Indiana Jones! i have really been working on it the last few weeks and am ready to purchase a color display. My question to yall:
- Color DMD offers an LCD and LED display. I really do not know which one to order. Can anyone give me some insight? Thank you so much!

Quoted from Agent_Hero:

Just discovered recently on my game that the point of reference for making the mode start shot is to flip the right flipper when the ball is at Indy's bullwhip. The bullwhip pictured on the playfield at the left flipper sends it up the right habitrail. They appear to be properly aligned so this is likely well-known by everyone else.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Do you do early back hand or late back hand?

Quoted from smiley:

Check for cracked solder joints on the three drop bank where the connector goes on.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Should I swap out the 5amp slow blow for an 8amp at the inline power box?
If someone could answer that, then I'll go into how it blew 6 fuses last night.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

I didn't include all info.
That was replace the 5amp slow blow with the manual stated 8amp fast blow/normal blow?
This is for the fuse at inline power box.

Quoted from Bos98:

So I finally got around to installing a PinSound board and Flipper Fidelity speakers in my IJ with Endprodukt's reorchestrations. All I can say is wow. Officially the best use of a PinSound board by me to date, a close second is my Jurassic Park followed by my T2 then my STTNG and then my TZ.
Maybe it is just the nostalgia of hearing high quality call outs from the films mixed with significantly improved music. Either way I high suggest this upgrade.

Quoted from zucot:

Looking for a collector quality IJ playfield. Anyone?

Quoted from KornFreak28:

About that....What sort of adjustment can you make to it other than the allen screw on the motor shaft? I would really like to know....
The rest is pretty much just screwed to the playfield.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

You mean to the frame that holds the POA? Mine lacks just a hair (almost nothing but significant enough to affect the ball) of tilt to the left. The right side works great.

Quoted from delt31:

that's a nice look IJ. What are these 5-6k these days? I was thinking about joining the club -potentially trading up my fully loaded MET Prem. Not sure yet. Not a fan of widebodies but I love the theme.

Quoted from rupert7:

Just finished this I bought my own a while ago, but i recently decided to create my own decals...

Quoted from delt31:

so I'm about to join the club (finally) and was deciding b/w an LED or LCD color DMD. I know color DMD is necessary for the game but does anyone have a pref? I usually go LCD for the additional display modes but I just bought a color LED for another game that I can use OR I can return that, eat shipping costs and pay a little more for LCD....

Quoted from Damien:

And you're able to keep the POA running nicely like that? I'd think the ball would be bouncing around like crazy.
I'm going to try it when I get home and see if the increased slant makes deadens the bounces a bit and allows for some more control.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

What do you suggest? Soap and water and let dry for a couple of hours? Thanks Boob!

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I'm almost sure repro playfields were never done for IJ. You probably had a different playfield put in your machine with a serial number that didn't match the game. Who cares? HEP put in a NOS playfield in my machine during the resto. He asked me first because he said some people care about the matching numbers. To me that's ridiculous. I care about having an amazing game.
I could be wrong, but my opinion is that the buyer hosed you for 450. If he didn't like the mismatched numbers it wasn't the machine for him. Top 5 games restored with Mirco playfields don't lose value because of the playfield...they gain value because they look brand new.
