Quoted from transprtr4u:Any updates on the mode hole mod?
If you are referring to the problematic bounce outs this hole is plagued with, the ultimate solution is right here:

Quoted from PtownPin:I tried that....didnt work well at all + the foam kept needing replacement...the new deflector design is money
My solution isn't foam, ITS THE BLUE SQUARE BUMPER. It is used on wire forms as a stopper in multiple games and has high wear resilience.
Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:Something like this? And drill out a hole in the metal to wedge the nub into.

Yes you could do that. But I went with the Titan version because it is extremely sticky, easy install and I had them in stock.
Quoted from Manny65:More likely this one with the adhesive backing https://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch?SEARCH_STRING=23-6629
That would work as well but I had the Titan ones in my stash readily available.
Quoted from radial_head:I was assuming it was one of these.

Ding ding ding! We have a winnah! =)
Getting very close to done with this resto. Went with al feature lights incandecent, all GI Comet warm white as well as some green and red 1smd led.
Clear Titan rings, colored posts / flipper rubber.
Now in playtest.
Quoted from Scandell:Probably a trough opto issue. Have you done a switch test?
I'm having opto issues as well. No subway optos, idol entry, up kicker, left ramp entry, right ramp entry. All other optos working.
Replaced the LM339s on the opto board but still no success. Unplugged the trough boards and same issue. I can see the IR from the optos with my camera so the transmitter is sending but these receivers aren't working it seems
Quoted from Marco1973:Hello everyone.
Today I wanted to play my favourite pinball (IJ as well), but after turning on the pin and launching the ball I pushed the flipper buttons and the pin turned off.
I've tryed many times, always with the same final.
I remember I had the same problem with the star wars pinball.
But this is a Williams not a DE.
Could someone help me saying what kind of problem could cause this ?
Thank you.
You need to replace the 5V reg with this:

And change out the 100mf capacitor at C4 while you are at it on the same board.
9 times out of 10 this fixes all low 5V problems on these boards without changing out the bridges and big caps
which can be problematic to replace if not done carefully as you can easily pull out the "tubes" which then you'd be into looking at a stitching repair where these solder in.
Update:
My IJ subway, left and right ramp entry, idol entry optos not registering were all fixed by replacing the opto board. Yay!
Now the only issue remaining is the Idol mutliball issues as seen in the short video below.
Locks all 3 balls but only releases 2 back into play. The Idol doesn't turn to release the 3rd ball and the elephant sound keeps sounding thinking that is releasing the last ball over and over again. Pushing the ramp exit switch manually when in this error, makes the idol turn to release the 3rd ball into play.
Idol test passes in test.
*FIXED*
