Just joined the club with a dead LAH last week. I got it for a very very sweet price (considering prices of machines in NZ) and so spent around 15 hours over the weekend trouble shooting the PSB & PPB (as well as the Flipper board). $40 worth of components and its back to working sweet!

It still needs a bit of a tuneup and a full clean, for now I'm enjoying my hard work! I do have one annoying issue and thats the ball getting stuck either behind or under (as in the picture) the wire in the back right VUK - any tips on how to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for the info, funnily enough I just came across your post a few pages back regarding it. I assume theres no way to bend the wire without taking the VUK off the playfield?

Yep, was a really easy fix - and now the only issue I have is the ball getting hung up occasionally on the drop downs. Such a fun game!

Thats a great idea - I'm hoping after a full clean and wax it will be too quick for the ball to rest on the drop downs. Can anyone recommend where to get the 1.13 rom (pre-burnt)? Is it also advisable to update the sound and display roms too?

Hey guys could anyone please check their machines and see if I'm missing a post on the left drain (right drain has one in the same place).

Cheers

Cheers man, any idea if this is a common part (noob question).

Hey guys, has anyone ever had both the top right VUK switch and the right 'mystery' scoop switch go dead at the same time? Neither are registering in switch mode - is it just a stink coincidence or should I be looking at something else? I have depressed them manually and they both sound like there switching.

Added over 6 years ago: Just an update on this in case anyone else has this issue, white/purple wire had loose connection on the top right VUK switch. Re-soldered and everything is working sweet! *A few days down and I started going into withdrawals!

Welcome to the club! Sorry can't help with the speaker grills, but I'm sure someone here will have a lead on them for you!

In regards to the magnets, you can check them in the diagnostics settings - if you haven't grabbed the manual yet its available here http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/1416/Data_East_1993_Last_Action_Hero_Manual.pdf the driver board for it is underneath the playfield (lower middle) - if your magnets aren't working I would check the fuses there first. I just picked up a bunch of LEDS from Comet and kinda made my own kit as its heaps cheaper and it also allows you to play around a bit with where you want colours etc.

Hey guys, just wondering what might cause the game to allow you to start modes without going up the ramp to turn off the Dynamite light? It has only just started happening!?

Well that makes sense. Awesome, thanks!!

Apparently this guy on ebay was doing the movie poster translite, but is currently only listing the trump version.....

ebay.com link: Last Action Hero Pinball Novelty Translite

I'm downloading it now and can upload it to another host and shoot you the link, if Capn doesn't mind?

I believe the right hand side is installed from factory, and the left side is optional - which I installed as it was killer.

Yeah I'm pretty sure all machines do, its the midi version though so not super recognisable.
