Hopefully will be joining this club tonight. Awaiting drop off tonight. Looked it over in person the other day and game looks great. Flippers seemed like they didnt want to send the ball very far. Not weak imo but just not quite enough umph. No experience with data east so not sure.
Quoted from TheCapn:There are a couple of ways to go about doing this, but basically the two EOS wires need to always be touching. This can be performed with soldering or simply taping the wires together. Once you bypass the EOS your flipper issues will be gone. Been like this for years on my game with no issues. Taken to TPF multiple years with hundreds of plays over a single weekend and no issues.
Wouldn't that burn the coils out?
I'll be posting another post tonight when I'm off work of all the initial issues I've found so far. One is the trough switch issue with when multiple ends and all balls drain sometimes it acts like a ball is stuck. I assuming just adjust the switch. Another is the wire form that shoots the ball up. Sometimes it doesn't go to the other wire form, or cant make the crane in time or shoots it into the pop bumpers.
Quoted from TheCapn:Not on DE games like this. The flipper control board has got you covered. Like I stated for peace of mind. I have had mine at TPF getting played non stop for a full weekend multiple years. No issues. Only issue I had was when I gave the EOS switches a shot at being legit. Went right back to bypassing them and the thing shoots like a beast.
Awesome so they must be two tab solenoids then correct? Haven't looked yet. Awesome info thanks capn
Okay so ordered rubbers, fuse clips, new circle switches.
Ordered a ocdled board and standard 2 smd frosted from comet. Was told if I got the ocd board that they needed to be standard not non ghosting, is this correct?
Do I need any new board for the gi if I got standard 2 and frosted? I am told they make a gi smoother board but is it needed like the ocd board. And I'm assuming gi on this game is like every other game and doesn't need non ghosting, is this correct?
Quoted from drummermike:Just put on DE chrome overlay from Mr_Tantrum. Had lots of missing chrome. Looks great.
I also have Mr_Tantrum's chicken plastic and the blank plastic decal. Thanks Chris.

By overlay do you mean like mirror blades, I'm having trouble seeing what's chrome. Would like a good set of blades for mine.
Any advice for installing data east mirror blades. They are coming from coin taker, and in not really seeing any instructional videos for data east online. Nothing except they dont have holes? Just trying to figure out how they would attach
Hey yall, thinking I'm about to pull the trigger on a pinsound, can anyone tell me if I would experience any issues due to the fact I'm using the unofficial 1.13 rom instead of 1.12, I love the 1 13 but I know it did adress how some sounds are played. Really just trying to figure out all i need to do to have it work without a headache. Gonna be ordering the power booster off the bat aswell.
Quoted from oradke:Don‘t sell it separately! If you ever want to sell your whole pin in the future, you‘ll fetch a better price when you can provide all the original matching boards.
LAH is a grail pin for my wife, so unless we get divorced (and its hers so she would keep it most likely in the divorce) it ain't going nowhere.
So calling all pinsound plus users. I'm not able to adjust volume real well. I got the pinsound plus and the power booster, but not the head phone station. Cant adjust volume low, only high, so the imagine if the master volume control is in the middle, going down do es s nothing, going up makes it louder. Cannot get it at the right level when the kids are in bed. Any fixes or help is appreciated
Quoted from grbgemen:Have you tried adjust the volume pot inside the cabinet? If I remember correctly, when setting up my board(original pinsound), I had to turn the volume pot inside the cabinet all the way to the right(max volume). From here I set the pots on the pinsound board itself and I can turn the cabinet volume pot down if I want it quieter.
Yes I'm refering to the pot in the cabinet. No master volumenon pinsound plus just the cabinet one.
Quoted from BroMan90:Hey there,
Anybody with side blades or mirror blades on their LAH care to share some pictures?
Thinking about investing some money into mine to make it pop and haven't really seen this much on this game.
Thanks!
It's worth it... But and this is pretty much mandatory, you need to line the sides of your playfield with a felt or something. I put mirror blades on mine in September, and by October they were all scratched up, I didn't listen to the wisdom of felt, and I paid the price. Dont do what I did.
Things I did to mine to make it pop:
Titan rubbers, yellow and blue (but do whatever color you want)
Comet LEDs throughout (with just one purple bulb in the back spotlight, gives it a very 80's/90's ambiance in the back without rainbow puking) and color match inserts
Yellow bats
Led ocd board- highly recommend
Pinsound plus with the capn mix, highly recommend but pricey
Things I haven't done but want to:
Color dmd (again pricey, I will one day)
All metal comes off for powder coating.
Quoted from Youpapin:Hi All,
I figured I could save myself some time to see if anyone knows off the top of their head where to get a constant power supply for a light I added to the play field. After switching out everything to LEDs, I am almost regretting it, because in multiball mode the strobe effect over the entire playfield is almost blinding. It's super easy to lose the ball with the lights flickering, so I added two spotlights to flood the field but realized I just made the problem worst. I'd like to hook those lights to a constant (I think 5 volts) but am having a hard time finding something under the playfield that doesn't blink. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Bryan
there is a connector on the power supply board you can unplug for gi to remain on the whole time, no more strobe, no more loud relay click. i just cant remember which one it is. when im next to my machine ill look. or as other said maestro gi smoother. or im not sure if ledocd has made a board for gi yet, i have the one for controlled lamps and love it
