Was working on a GI issue that was blowing fuses then I put the play field down and *pop* Figure that wasn't a good sound or smell.

The good news, I have found the source of my fuse blowing issue and my GI issue all in one. A washer causing a short.

Now I need some help finding a board and where this green wire goes. Appreciate the help

Also my glove is now saying no X movement, and the start button doesn't look to work, but lights up. This happened at the same time and I plan on working on the glove this summer.

Totally fried. Anyone have a spare or know where I can get a board? Might be cheaper then fighting with it.

Marco sold out same with Bay Area A

Hey Everyone! I am sending in the parts for powder coating next week. Other then black and red does anyone have any photos of what they have done? Black looks sick, but I am debating Blue. It's going next to a T3 that's coated red. Would love to see photos.

Also going to throw some black mirror blades in. http://www.pinballdecals.com/MirrorBladesPage.html the best place?

Caught the photo of Skypilot's black w/ Alternate artwork looked great! I think I am sold on the blue! As you can see I have some fade. Thanks everyone! Keep the photos coming!

For scientific reasons only does anyone have the custom version of Adagio they used for the font?

Also does anyone have a quick tip for taking apart and cleaning the Cyber Matrix? I have most of the play field clear right now.

Thanks! Your thread was a big big help.

I can't unsee that. Dammit. Works great in the T3 as well? Sign me up for 2~

And so the rebuild begins! Thanks to Ninja Boot for the machine. agodfrey ~ Loved reading your thread.

If anyone in Canada has an extra spinner sticker hit me up. I could use one. TIA.

Anyone with a color DMD or extender on JM they can share photos and satisfaction level?

What are you talking about Blitz ...On the bad movie scale it's not that bad!
It has so much potential. It's about 300x better then the new Total Recall. What was the last 'bad' movie you loved? Next director that attempts a Paul Verhoeven remake should just not. Now... a Paul Verhoeven remake of Johnny could be interesting.

Do you have any photos of installing the repro cab decals? I am about to do mine and any photos are appreciated. Looks like your backbone arms are new... unless mine has been painted I thought they were black on the original. Looks nice!

Great idea, that would look sharp with a ColorDMD. What's next? drop a hint!

Wicked! I know nothing about holographic paint, but can't wait to see what it might look like!

I have fully re-created the cab art outside of JM himself. That said I might do an alt to avoid any static. See my thread for pictures or PM me. Can't wait to get back to work on it.

Working on my JM today. The coin door is a freaking mess. If anyone could post photos of nice looking ones I would appreciate it!!image.jpeg

That would be excellent! If you have NIB I would love to see how it should be wired up.

Happy new year!

Can anyone hook me up with some high res pics of ünder the playfeild? From left / right / dead on would be amazing! Thanks!

Got some. Thanks NinjaBoot.

Hey everyone, looking for some help.
Re-populated everything and it's looking amazing NinjaBoot did a sick job on the clear coat.

A few issues. Where the hell do these cables go? It will not let me start a game and the start button works as tested by my Mutli-M. Any help is appreciated. I'll update more in the Johnny finds a Johnny thread.

Thanks everyone. And thanks to my wife for looking after the kid for the day so I could get this back together. She is on pinside and I am sure will read this.

D20 flashes and D21 stays on.

All good. I got this & none taken. The Red is not connected and the MOLEX chances are are for the bill validator as you mentioned. So neither are required. This is also why I didn't have photos of them, but I did most everything else. Pintrix helped with the wires and Ninjaboot has helped find the issue. I started a thread separate to this and have already figure the issue. Thanks for the coin door photos you sent. That was a big help.

Stoked at how fast this game plays!
Everything working now just a matter of mods in progress.

Nice! What was the total cost? Look forward to seeing a video!

Same thing that had me scratching my head. Looks to be an unused connector.

Not yet but can't wait!

I have an Alt translite on my JM now, would be willing to sell my original Williams one. It's in great shape. Drop me a PM

Screen_Shot_2016-04-25_at_8.13.50_PM_(resized).png

Any chance of a re-post?

my cpu board kicked the bucket today... doh.. but you'll all be happy to hear that the Midnight Madness mode from JM made it into Ghostbusters.

Oh no....

image_(resized).jpeg

It's not something I want to attempt. The U20 is socketed already and replaced so the next step is the LM339s.
Thanks for the links. As for the translite there is something sick coming. I have no problem posting the one I have, but it's just a bad mash up, nothing to my standards .... Yet. This one is also printed without a difussion layer.

I found some clear adhesive backed ink jet film and some plexi. It's poor mans version. Let me know if you didn't find one.

I hope the Color is better then representated in that image. Thanks for the link gives people an option who are desperate.

Playing the Flip Out this weekend. Will try this and show some pics when I get back.

Then that's a win. Some of the repro's I have seen have a red hue to them that would drive me batty but as someone who is deciding between repros and the Alts I posted on my JFAJ thread I appreciate this info!

They look great. Hard to say if the bad skin tone (to much red) are how they were originally made or if this is symptomatic of cab fade. If anyone has an original JM that has been inside for it's entire life I would love to see it. Regardless, no one will notice and your cab is gonna look great! Post photos when done!

Working on this tonight. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Update on Sector seven translucent plastics on the ink jet film don't look as good as I wanted. I am working with a UV printer now and should have some good results this month.

Playfeild is so smooth! Now with 100% more LCD IMG_7291 (resized).JPG

I got really lucky with the old ones soaking them in water and then just re-applying to the new ramps. I was all lined up to get new ones from agodfree so you might want to pm him if yours are bad. That said he might be sold out.

Sorry!
Did you strip old ones/paint/ new ones?
What process did you do?
- Right down to the wood. Three step sanding process. Filled all holes, Sanded again.
- Painted matte black

And did you do wet or dry?
- I'll be installing dry.

Also where did you buy yours?
- Made them in my basement. I'll post some photos after I have them laminated.

Nice I need one. Also, you should replace your crazy bob's sign with an LCD

PM'ed if there is anyone else interested in contributing we can start a new thread.

K, first test Sector 7 plastics are done. If you need one PM me. There are no charge for these, but please only if you need one. You all can thank Freddy for putting a fire under my feet to get these done and jesperpark for his help. I only have three FYI.

And they are gone. Thanks everyone!

Very first dremel test. Yuck.

For a amateur DIY project, really impressed with how they turned out.

First BetaIMG_8526 (resized).JPG

It's that one ☝

Fired up JM only to find that my hand just stopped working. All switches work great, factory reset same issue. Nothing obviously wrong.... It's like it's just not getting power. Gonna try some wire tests.. If anyone else has had this problem before let me know what fixed it for you. Thanks!

pics or it didn't happen

Bahahhahah! It's trash. It's like a Beta 1.0 translite NinjaBoot and I toss around the idea of doing alt cab decals and alt translite, but it never materialized as we both got busy, he is doing these amazing magnet mods now and if you have yet to check them out you should.

alt translite

Here it is in all it's crappy photoshop mess.

Sick, my JM will be there for you to play. Feel free to post a pic of the translite, maybe I'll have to finish that project. Here is the thread https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/my-magnet-mod he has a JM as well, can't wait to see a magnet for JM

so much good to draw from...

Excellent, curious how they hold up. I have some ideas to make these better and better. Keep me/us posted.

Yep! Sure do and it's in great shape.

It's a page back. As soon as I get my glove working again I'll post some details.

Thinking about alternate cab decals... just don't know what direction I am gonna go. What does everyone think of this? Screen Shot 2017-08-01 at 12.51.08 PM (resized).png

I agree, but, the problem with that is that I don't want to drift to far from the playfield.. know what I mean?

Solid trade, but I wouldn't put up a dime on the trade, given the pics I would say that $300 has to go to the TMNT owner. That JM is in need of a lot of work and parts.

See post #2722 ~ 7 months ago. I might have a spare kicking around but you'll have to give me sometime to dig it out of storage. You might be better off finding a NOS, mine are re-creations.

freddy is the one I sent you still holding up? Curious if graphic stayed on.

What would y’all like to see in an alt?

removed at request of people

There are so many ways to print these things out. We did one on ink-jet with backing to diffuse the LED's but they were strong.

Can someone post some photos of inside the bottom and top cab? Thanks!

Thanks! Mostly just how the bottom cabinet hardware and just inside of the coin door. I am rebuilding from scratch and want to make sure its as good as I can. Appreciate the help. The boards are easy to put together, but if you can get me a photo of the green ground wires in the back box might be good for thread prosperity and ensuring I have the grounds perfect.

Much appreciated.

If anyone has quick access to the backbox and can have a look and tell me on J208 you might have a single Green/Black (says Green-Blue in the guide) cable going into a connector at J208 let me know what displacement connector it's in if pin 1 is on the right and pin 9 on the right. Thanks!

Minabluemerle got me hooked up thanks!

Anyone have a X-BRIDGE WPCHV installed? Mine only plugs into J604, and doesn't start up the DMD when installed, so I think I am missing something simple or installing it wrong. Or have the wrong board... IMG_6710 (resized).JPG

Stoked to be playing this again!

After we cleared mine I didn't put down more mylar... maybe I should! Thanks for sharing!

I was thinking of a small plastic 3D printed there to cushion the ball drop. Never got around to it tho. Anyone feel ambitious?

Nice!!
Color DMD worth it?

Old photos but it’s all I have on me atm

Sling shot no problem. If you can’t find one locally let me know.

Agreed, how bad is the cab otherwise?

Anyone want some free old JM ramps?
