I'm in! Just picked it up today. Plays 100% but needs a new helicopter. I have it set at 7 degrees and can hit all three ramps from the left flipper. Fun game and a great value.

I'm in! Just picked it up today. Plays 100% but needs a new helicopter. I have it set at 7 degrees and can hit all three ramps from the left flipper. Fun game and a great value.
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:What's the secret to tightening loose screws that go directly into the plastic ramps?? The (sheet metal?) screw-types used to hold the metal protectors onto the sides of the ramps are not tightening- would one of those "toothed" washers do the job???
Would like to hear suggestions - in process of shopping/cleaning my pf.
Also, anyone use Titan rubbers? Looks like some blues and reds would look nice on the machine............
Use nuts underneath?
I like the Titan rubbers a lot and can highly recommend them.
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Was thinking about that, I would then have to swap out the sheet metal screws for a smallish hex-head screw..........
Thanks for the suggestion.
It's better than going with larger screws.
Quoted from lemonski:Hey astropin, where did you get that helicopter? I assume it is non-standard, but it looks really good.
Mine is an original, but has one blade broken off...which I'm sure would be a good candidate for someone doing 3D printed replacements

Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Ok, checking the boards helps when you have issues - no? I/O board "fried!"
Weird because I never smelled/saw smoke, and machine is still functioning except for the magnets..........resistors literally "exploded" off the board, and transistors blackened, fuses burned at connect points, some pins from connectors black - wow.
There was no warning, the magnets just stopped working, but game was operating - GoldenEye owners beware..........I have requested a diagnosis on the board, I assume you can get a replacement for big $$$.
*SIGH*
You could send the board to Pinsider johnwartjr and he could repair it. Got to be cheaper than a new one.
Quoted from Pintucky:Out of all my pins I've owned, Goldeneye and Avatar had the greatest improvement after adding subs. Fish Tales was next.
I thought it had a bigger impact with IM but definitely helped Goldeneye.....helps every game really.
