Hi everyone, I don't officially have mine yet it will be here Tuesday. I've played Turbos Flintstone and had to get my own. Took some searching and a little more cash than I wanted to spend but it will be worth it.

Hey there Spooky how are you?

Where do you find the alternate translate? Everyplace I go it says "Not For Sale"

That looks really good

It's not very hard I usually pull power from an existing GI lamp socket, you can solder it in or use small insulated alligator clips to make it easily removable if you don't like it.

You need bigger wheels and tires to go off-road with a pin
Mine will be here tomorrow, I want to go sit on my mailbox and wait. Ii's driving me crazy only 10 miles from me sitting in a truck

Wow what a long wait, I bought mine Thursday in N.J. Be here tomorrow

If it's not too bad of a scratch, you might be able to polish it off with Novus, 3,2, 1

Bummer, I'll keep an eye out for one and let you know.
Bob

I don't suppose this would work

One other thing you could do is what we do to plastic headlights at the body shop. Wet sand it with 1500/2000 grit sand paper and then have it clearcoated at a body shop

Don't see anything on Ebay

thanks

Turbo is a great guy, he will try to help you with anything

LOL, I'm a little disappointed with one side of the cab, it has a bunch of holes in it like a sign was screwed to it, but all in all it's nice. Started up with no errors, couple of cracked plastics, and rusty balls but no big deal. I ordered the ball launch button, granite plastic and bowling pin targets and decals. YABBA DABBA DOO!!!!!

Nobody else wanted to play, I can only play by myself so long. I forgot to order spot lights too, and Terry is out of white 3 in 1 leds

Hey Spooky, those sound cool, if you make some I'll take two sets. One for me and a set for my buddy Turbo. I'll be more than happy to send some $ your way.
Bob

I will cover the cost of two sets, just let me know how to pay. You are the man Spooky

Can't wait to see it

I'm thinking I need three more spot lights, two for the houses and one for the right rear, to light up the plastics

I thought about taking the back board of the playfield off, removing the plastic and cut an oblong hole in it and lighting the plastics from behind

the other side is what I'm talking about up by the lane guides

One flasher and one GI I have a 3 in 1 LED in the GI and both are together under the logo, I'm thinking of adding more lights under there

I honestly don't know, but I've never heard of using a 906 for GI.

906 bulbs are 12 volt, so no you don't want them in GI, as it runs at 6.5 volt

How cool would that be as a golf cart???

Got a favor to ask you guys. Can someone go into their test menu and see if there is a knocker test in solenoids? Should be test #7 mine doesn't show one and I can't get my knocker to work, and it's driving me buggie.

Thanks
Bob

that is supposed to be riveted on, most likely someone drilled out the rivets to chance the bowling pins, and replaced them with nuts and bolts so just get new nuts and bolts and put it back together.

Bumpity bump bump

what game rom are you running? LX4 or LX5

I haven't done the Dino mod or the rockcrusher I have been adding spot lights. five so far.

flintstones_001.JPG

Just connecting them to the GI light sockets under the playfield, everything is LED so as to not overload the circuit. Oh and there is 3 in 1 LEDs in the pop bumpers so Dino does light up pretty well.

Here's the Dino ramp.

flintstones_dino_001.JPG

There is also a spot light up there, shining on the back board and the Dino's back half

Now I have to figure something out on how to light up the left side under the shops

I hate to beat a dead horse but, back to my cabinet knocker. I just installed the newest rom, LX5 and still no solenoid test for it. It's listed as solenoid test 3 7 in the manual but it goes from # 6 to # 8 I really want to figure this out any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

Thanks I'll try that, that's not where it's supposed to be but who knows

Thanks I'll try that, that's not where it's supposed to be but who knows

Ok I found the problem, it was so simple I feel really dumb. It was turned off with dip switch settings

Looks great, that ramp area is very dark

Where did you get the cartoon translite?

Thanks I sent a message via Ebay, I just hope he reads English.

I have a problem with my right flipper sticking on mine, haven't figured it out yet, I've changed the plunger and link, coil sleeve, coil stop, that usually corrects this. Any ideas?

spring is fine and I have plenty of play in the flipper (Fred set it up) it was double sprung when I got it and that made the coils get hot

the one thing I haven't changed is the bushing I have new ones here

I cut the slot in the plastic dino bigger and that fixed the stuck ball problem about 99% of the time

I would like to know that as well, looks much better that that plastic with some guys on it

Waddaya think? yes or no? Fred, Barney, Pebbles, Bam Bam, and Dino keep the where they are or move them

Also got the missing buildings mod coming, got it off ebay for $10 w/ shipping

glued them in and found a place for the car

Wilma has to have a car too...lol

same here Spooky count me in for a set

Never thought about putting one under the dino, nice touch

From what I have been told, the guy that made the alt. translite and playfield decal, has been told by the powers that be, to stop. If you find them I and Turboderf are both looking

Went out this morning looking for neon paint, all the craft store (Michaels) all they had was washable kids paint in neon. Where did you get yours Spooky?

First, that is the translite I want most, second is the other cartoon one, third who cares who's hand is on her ass, it's funny

Make you a deal you send it I'll wear it while playing and have Turbo take a pic

I heard from him once telling me to call he wanted to know how I got his name so I dropped a couple names on him and called but never heard back

First off let me apologize for my sucky camera, I did a little work today

Thanks, I think it came out pretty good, I made a new platform for the house mod so it's totally a reversible add-on

Walmart has a pretty good selection of neon paints

Something tells me I should know who you are.

download them and do it yourself

I have 3 in 1 orange led's in my out lanes also, I think they look really good

I like that, I'm going to have to go through all the stuff I got with mine

I went through the box of stuff I got with mine and found this.

Hope this one is a better pic

That looks great I really like the village topper, you did a good job on that. What about old fashioned paper mache for a big bolder, and then just paint? Looks like you have the talent.

had an idea for your rocks for the topper.

something like this?

I like last week pizza for breakfast

It's a great pin, lots to do and shoot at. Turboderf, has an apron mod that keeps the ball from falling off of it when it rolls across it. Send him a PM

Turbo's the man. I have one of his very early prototypes and it works perfect

I might be able to dig one up as well, I found mine in a box of pinball parts I bought, still rolled up in the original paper and tube, brand new. Pm me if interested
Bob SOLD

I'm running LX5 and every once in awhile the ball will launch itself. I don't know if it's a bug or just a glitch in the machine

I'll tell you right now that the Pins are one PITA. If ever I was going to do it again, I would grind the rivets off that top plate change the pins and replace the rivets with aircraft bolts and teflon nuts

I put mylar over my decal, I was worried about the same thing

Mine is fine, but I cut it a little short on one side, did my friends and it is still looking like new

Good Luck getting "That" White Water

I have the Adult X rated translite I "Might"PG 13 Translite 001.JPG be willing to sell

Thinking about selling mine, I have all three translites, cartoon playfield decal, installed house mod, figures installed, spotlights installed to light up the play field. House mod and figures are totally reversible. Very nice cab, some scratches on the head, very nice playfield. $3100, or trade. Can send pics.

Those look familiar

I got three white LED light strips from Art (old pin guy) this week end and lit up my apron. What do you think?
Flintstones Light Strips 001.JPG

PM sent

You can get the characters fro Toys R Us

Mine look exactly like that.

I don't have a problem catching and trapping balls on mine

Mine is back up for sale, plenty of mods, all reversible, all three translites, cartoon playfield decal, house mod, spotlights added to light up the playfield.
I'll take $3000 for it, send me you email address for pics,

Yep, it's a 906 flasher

Turboderf made a mod for the apron U turn. Might want to give him a shout. Hard to see but here is a pic of it installed.

Flintstones Light Strips 001.JPG

Oh ok that U turn on mine is fine

It's a very fun and under rated pin
