Does it only happen with the right flipper on and not the left?
Looks to me like the interruptor for the flipper button opto is super sensitive and right on the edge and when the launch happens it causes just enough vibration to cause it to flicker.
Swap flipper opto boards and see if it corrects the problem.
Quoted from TheCapn:I have found that getting a complete set of JM plastics is difficult. So I would like to gauge interest and see if we can escalate this. If a company were to make replacements would anyone out here be interested purchasing a set?
Pretty much every game needs the same broken plastic. The one over the left ramp.
An easy break set is probably more desirable.
Quoted from gliebig:Just getting some time with this pin and really enjoying it. Definitely and underrated game.
I see on the DMD, it says something about items. What does that mean?
When you finish a mode completely, shoot crazy bobs for an award. 1st award is a Pemex Doubler. It helps during the Power Down wizard mode.
Quoted from damadczar:Speaking of plastics and things to need, I need a speaker panel plastic.
Mine came with a nice blue repro, but it's not the original one (which looks better to me).
If you end up selling the Blue one let me know.
Items are available at Crazy Bob’s when you successful complete a mode. the further in the mode also gets you more GBs. Without 320GB you can not start Power Down.
Johnny forces you to play the modes and not time them out. The 50GB award from the matrix is pivotal if you stink at completing the modes.
Quoted from TheCapn:Here is the mirrored Backglass from CPR, guys.
It looks amazing. Bought a bunch of backglasses recently, waiting on delivery.
Can you go over what trim you used with this new backglass?
Quoted from allsportdvd:Hey all
Has anyone installed the new CPR speaker panel on their game?
The instructions on their site state that you use double sided tape over the existing panel.
That doesn’t make sense to me. Would it be then too thick to fit into the channels?
I would assume the original panel needs to be removed
What’s curious is they also sell speaker panels for games that don’t have a U channel like MM and MB with the same instructions
I have the CPR panel. It is not a direct replacement for the black plastic panel. This panel is larger and sticks to the H Chanel as well as the lower c channel. With double sided tape.
The panel also has a cut out for the dmd. You leave your old black panel in place and the clear part of that panel covers the dmd.
For this game they should have made it smaller and made it a direct replacement for the boring black panel. With no cut out.
Quoted from GraniteStatePin:Anybody know if these 5 red bulb condoms are the only ones? No other bulbs had them.
I have also seen a photo where the one under the left ramp is on the lower bulb and not the upper like mine? thanks
[quoted image][quoted image]
They were the only ones on my game when I got it as well. No other dome covered bulbs.
Quoted from FullTilt_Pinball:I just got my JM and noticed there isn’t a left post for the outlane. There’s one with a double ring on the right side. Is this supposed to be how it’s played or is mine missing? If so, does anyone have the part #??
When I first got my game 20 years ago, that same post was missing. Probably to keep ball times down.
#02-5107, $4 from Marco.
Quoted from rvermeire:BUMP, anyone tips ?
Sounds like your magnet in the hand is not working. Test the magnet in coil test and make sure it is actually grabbing a ball when you hold one under the hand when you activate the test.
Ok. I would check the launch ball button switch. If the launch ball is always activated it will drop the ball immediately instead of letting you place it in the matrix.
If the ball launch switch tests fine, test each switch in both the column and row that ball launch is in. Could be a switch short or diode.

I would like to amend my comment on the CPR speaker panel replacement. The panel is a DIRECT replacement for the factory black speaker panel plastic.
I had one of the first ones every made by CPR and the dimensions were to a wpc95 panel, which is why my original was too big.
My new CPR speaker panel plastic is perfect. I event cut the panel wood to light up "The Ultimate Hard Drive" red portion.

What is the error?
Quoted from PoMC:Anyone else make their game harder? I removed the adjustable, left outlane post completely. Right outlane post is in the middle position, didn't change that.
Extra ball memory is off. You need to collect the extra ball before draining. I prefer this in general with all my games because it gives the extra ball a sense of urgency. Otherwise if you know you can drain because it's lit on your next ball, that's not fun.
Mnemonic Recovery, left outlane ball save memory is off. It's lit for ball one, but every ball after you have to re-lite the ball save. Does not carry over to the next ball, every ball starts with it off.
Those are all excellent changes. I have seen many JM missing the left outlane metal post.
Before the changes how often where you reaching PowerDown?
Quoted from allsportdvd:Has anyone ever tried to recreate the topper in this pic from the Pinball Compendium?
I have the promo board shown on the front but not the side pieces
[quoted image]
Please post pics of the promo board.
Quoted from allsportdvd:It finally uploaded!
[quoted image]
Anyone have one of these promo posters for sale?
Quoted from jazc4:I couldn't get them in mine without cutting the inside laminate to sink the blades into the cabinet.
Did you router a recess into the cabinet? Is that how you cut it?
Quoted from Gorgar666:Looking for an Johnny key fob.. Does anyone wanna sell?
At Allentown, they had repros for $7. They are larger and made by ClassicArcades.

I think I like your orange bumper caps and rings even better.
Quoted from rdrapeau3171:Any one know if this post, located under the bottom arch is supposed to have a rubber on it?
Thank you.
[quoted image]
I put a rubber on my post. Doesn’t interfere with ball ejecting to shooter lane.
Quoted from GreenMachine19:Just joined the club. I passed on this title years ago and went with Super Mario Bros. for the same price. That was a fun game but always regretted making that move. Very nice condition and plays great. I only had a handful of games on this before. I plan to bring to Pintastic this year. Any tips for bringing this game to a show? Open the outlanes? Disable the glove?
Just make sure the glove rods are lubed up and the XY nuts are good and Johnny will be problem free.
The left ramp plastic that is on top of the ramp takes a beating and is usually broken or graphics worn off. If yours is good, I’d put a plastic protector under it.
Quoted from GraniteStatePin:So I just burned through another glove rebuild, this is the 2nd time. I'm getting like 100ish games maybe out of the bigger main glove nut and then it's smoked. The weight of the glove makes the rod eat through the side of the nut. Yes I keep it nice and lubed and moves freely. I guess maybe it's time to try replacing the rod itself? I've only been replacing the nut.
Also, does anyone know if the original nut was brass? These replacements definitely seem cheap. Thanks
Send a pic of your threaded rod. Notice any burrs or sharp edges ok the rod?
Where are you getting your nuts from?
