cool thread guys. I have both the goldeneye and the gottlieb james bond in my collection. want to do an awesome LED conversion on both so has anyone got any recomendations on colours etc which has worked well for them?

also does anyone know where i can buy a new helicopter for goldeneye as mine is pretty trashed?

I have a Gottlieb System 80 James Bond. When I start a game the ball is not getting kicked out into the shooter lane as it should. If I place a ball manually in the shooter lane and start to play a game the flippers don't work and when the ball drains and doesn't get kicked out again either.

What should I be looking at to try and rectify the problem and can anyone tell me the fuse and location of the fuse that would control the flippers/ball kicking out as I will start there?

Any help greatly appreciated

thanks mate. This may be a stupid question but you mean the coin switches on the rear of the coin door when I open up the coin door? Is that what you mean and what should I be looking for? A credit can be added and the game starts but doesn't kick the ball out??

I think you may be right about the coin switch and I might be on the right track as I remembered that I was doing something inside the coin door when it first stopped ejecting the ball on start. I've only had time to look at the right hand coin switch and if I move the metal wire in a certain way it sometimes blanks out the credit display at the bottom of the playfield. i don't really know what I'm looking for/how to fix it though.

is there a good picture description anywhere that shows what the coin switched should look like etc when they are fully working?

** edit** I just did the switch test and it came up with switch # 67 which I understand is the outhole

So what should I be looking at now to fix it as I'm at a loss?

I can set my Gottlieb James Bond to 3 and 5 ball game but does anyone know how to set it to the timed game instead?

Thanks. It’s an original board but it must have updated rom as can set 3 or 5 ball Game by changing a switch on the board.

ok thanks. do you know if it's just simple matter of removing the 3/5 ball rom chip and putting in the timed game rom chip? if so any idea where to source the timed game rom chip?

I've got an issue with my Goldeneye where the satellite only works intermittently, say every second time you make the satellite ramp shot. Sometimes when you light the satellite option and then the ball goes over the rollover switch which should raise the ramp to shoot at the satellite it doesn't raise and the satellite doesn't move but if you do the same thing a second or perhaps third time everything will work as it should.
Has anybody got any idea what the issue may be and what I should be looking at to fix it? I've looked under the playfield and the connectors/wiring to the satellite look fine, so just after any ideas at all.

Thanks guys

Can anyone please tell me the part # for the clear plastic ramp that the helicopter sits on for goldeneye and where I may be able to buy one??

Also are nos or replica helicopters available anywhere?

Damn. I never knew my gun was missing this decal! Could some please send me a high res scan of it so I can print it and put on my gun?

Also if anybody has a high res scan of the right hand side plastic of the guy in the wheelchair id b interested in that too!

Hey guys,

Can anybody please provide me with a high res scan/photo (suitable for printing) of the Goldeneye 007 decal that goes on the back of the gun assembly that launches the ball and also of the plastic on the right hand side of the guy in the wheelchair? My Goldeneye is missing both so thought if I get a high res scan/photo I could print them and install?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hey Guys,
I'm having issues with ALL the displays on my Gottlieb James Bond. When I power on the machine none of them light up. If I open the headbox up and go through and remove and reseat all the connectors and turn it back on, they will light up again for a few days and then will go out again. I have checked the fuse in the cabinet bottom and it's not that. Any ideas what the issue could be and simple things to check? My knowledge and skills are pretty limited!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks mate. is it easy to swap the displays around? I've never done it or looked into it.

Hey guys,
Has anybody seen this issue before with a Gottlieb James Bond?
The game plays fine and playfield illumination works fine but the displays and globes in the backbox are all out, although the Game Over and High Score To Date lights up in the back box.
Doesn’t appear to be any of the fuses in the bottom of the cabinet.
Has anyone got any ideas on what’s wrong and how to fix it?
Cheers
Johno

Hi,

Probably silly question but which board in the Gottlieb Jame bond controls/powers the displays?

thanks very much for that. So if my displays have an issue where all 4 of them go out after a while (at the same time) of the machine being on would it be a power supply issue and would replacing the power supply be likely to fix it?
