Quoted from stoptap:

Definitely change the EOS switches.

Quoted from BeatBachs:

Thanks Vac! I'll give it a shot!

Quoted from SteveO:

I picked up a Jokerz project. I had the CPU and sound boards repaired. The game now boots up and plays, sort of. It starts out with sound and speech working but two of the pops, both slings, and some switched don't work. After playing for a few minutes, the pops, slings, atsand switches work but not the speech. After more play, the pops, slings, and switches don't work and the GI goes out. What can cause the variations in failures and any thoughts on how to fix it?

Quoted from PinHead2112:

Sign me up! Jokerz was the machine I played the most in the arcades back in the day. Not the one that 'hooked' me on pinball but for sure the one I played the most. Had a friend that also loved pinball and we spent many an hour playing two player games on this machine. I have a good player on this one. Bonus area is worn and ramps and upper playfield are bad but serviceable. Love this game(and most system 11's)

Quoted from Jc-trout:

Hello everyone. I have a Jokerz and it is a fun game to play. My friends and I love it. I'm hoping someone might be able to send me a photo of the "Carousel Wheel Adjustment Label." I don't think my carousel wheel is adjusted right. When you hit the draw poker and it gives you a "Full House", for example, the spinning wheel doesn't match up with the right cards. I'm assuming that it should. Any photo or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, JC.

Quoted from bicyclenut:

Congrats.. I just finished mine. It had lots of parts missing. I too had to buy the center platform. Mine was totally missing. I then had to create my own light board underneath it. Ive sunk so much money into this game, but I really like playing it. If you just change the rules a little it can become very challenging. I don't get why some people bag on this game.

Quoted from bicyclenut:

I honestly thought that it would be easy to find new/used parts for this game. Truth is, its really hard to find certain items. Hardest items for me to find were. 1) Sound board- its unique for this game, 2) System 11b board- not to many out there being offered up, but went with a Rotten Dog. 3) Ramps- I was missing the right side and the center platform. I was able to find a really nice person that sold me all the ramps, but the right side bottom is all cracked up. I made it work but still looking for some better ramps. The center platform is still available at Marco. 4) Light board under the center platform. Almost impossible to find. I gave up and made my own. 5) Translite- I was able to find 2 used translites. Both in horrible shape. One was extremely faded and the other was all scratched up. I ended up scanning them both into my computer and creating a really nice one in photoshop. Then had a sign company print me out a few. They came out really nice.
I also have a Taxi that I used to see it some of the parts would fit. Lots of the roll over wires and switches were not. Some I had to modify. Surprisingly the easiest thing I found more that once was the Draw Poker wheel. This has been a fun project and Im so glad I saved this game. The game plays really good and is challenging for me. Hitting that jackpot takes forever! I had to change the ramp mode from medium to easy. Enjoy everyone. Post more pictures of your Jokerz! I love seeing everyones games.

Quoted from JodyG:

Update/addition to the Jokerz ramps I make. They are now available as complete assemblies...no riveting necessary! No need to send me your old ramps to swap parts over from either. I have both the center and outside ramp assemblies available here: https://rampomatic.com/products/williams-jokerz-center-ramp-03-8195?_pos=5&_sid=0df08ebcd&_ss=r
