So, working on a Viking that has a combination of broken Bally logo, generic red opaque and missing lane guides. Considering red translucent to replace them all with no plans for LED's. Anyone tried this and if so, did you keep it that way?
Looking for an excellent condition playfield apron for Viking. Anyone know if decals for these were ever made?
Quoted from tatman9999:What are the changes for this version? I would like to know also where to buy.
I found what I was looking for.
Supports free play and seven digit score displays.
Just finishing up my Viking project. Unable to get the extra balls for reaching the scoring thresholds working. I have the values programmed in and DIP switch 6 off and 7 on. As far as i could see, that's all that should have been needed.
Quoted from mof:Nice red remaining on your cab!
Looks like we have the same blue-faded apron -- makes me wonder what the original apron colors were.
Usually you can tell by the portion that's normally covered by the score cards. If someone would repro or restore these, I'd be in.
Quoted from FatPanda:Joined the club today! It'll need a lot of love, but it'll get it, all in time. Minty backglass and the cabinet is in decent shape. Nice colors on it still, but typically scratches and gouges.
The playfield is tired, so the minute CPR does a rerun, I'll be in on one.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement drop target bracket, the little square one that has a slot in it that keeps the drop target in its track?

That is a nice looking cabinet. And a well used PF.
Quoted from mof:Either that, or I'm going full red and blue viking, haha
You can see on his pic what the original apron color was. Must have looked great.
Quoted from Ballypalooza:I wish they would remake this apron. They shut the remakes down too soon. Anyone want to put up a pic of a real nice one? AND..... I’m looking for a real nice glass if anybody has or knows of one. Thx
CPR makes the glass.
Quoted from Ballypalooza:Yeah, well... I think I’d rather have an original glass. The right is original and the left is CPR.

Original is faded. Like the aprons.
Quoted from Chalkey:Some other company is making the backglass with bee-yoo-tiful mirroring. I cant remember who, somebody sound off with it.
CPR is offering a mirrored version.
Quoted from Ballypalooza:This is what I have. It’s better than average, but needs some work to be finished.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Mine is way more faded than that.
Quoted from Quench:Your options are:
a) Modify the Alltek ROM with Olivers 7-digit code - however this will void your Alltek warranty. You'd then need to build and wire Olivers decoder circuit.
b) Install X-Pin 7volution displays
c) Use a modern Weebly MPU board that has the 7-digit software/hardware upgrade support with any 7-digit displays of your choice.
Go with option B. Working great on my Viking.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Nice, so you have an alltek mpu + 7volution displays?
Actually it's a Weebly MPU.
I can get you a measurement tonight. FYI, the upper right bank of four drops have coils on each drop in addition to the reset coil. For the "memory" feature for multiple players.
Quoted from swampfire:I’m guessing the gate looks something like this one I pulled from my Paragon playfield. If I knew the post spacing, I could probably make the wire part.

2.75" center to center on the screws.
Part number is ASE-2250-67
Quoted from GoldenOreos:anyone know where I can purchase the lower inlane plastics? red bally logo or just plane red
Planetary has the bally logo plastics.
