"Good news, Everyone" - Prof Farnsworth
So in cleaning up and starting to go through every relay using the manual to adjust the switches (some were open when they should be closed and so on) My Mars Trek now starts a new game and resets to play.
I still have issues with a few areas of the game like the outhole not counting up in balls or switching players.... Unless the machine is "Tilted" and the bonus not being awarded to your score when you collect it (but it does now reset back down to zero). I will be working more on that tonight.
I had to smooth out the gap in the toothed wheel on my Bonus Stepper as it was catching and causing the stepper to advance one tooth past "Max Bonus (100,000)" thus shutting the lights off and telling you you had no bonus.
I would like to request if anyone has or can get me a picture of the two steppers in the cab (Coin and Ball Index) in the Reset position. I would like a picture of both sides to confirm when the zero switch is supposed to be hit and where the wipers are at that time. Much like my bonus and credit steppers I think they are out of alignment.
I don't have any pictures of the coin door area I am cleaning up, but I will work on getting some of them soon.
I started work on cleaning up and replacing the screws holding the ball guides under the apron. I have cleaned up all the metal parts other then the parts that hold the playfield to the cab, Those I will be working on this week.
Part of my PBR Order was new rubber (So much cheaper then ordering from anywhere in Canada) so those are all installed now. All of the plastic stands were removed and cleaned up and all of the screws were replaced. Some of the holes were stripped and so I used a little bit of wood glue and filled the hole in and then seated the screw in and held it down and in place with some weight for a few days. I still have a few other spots to do that to as well later on.
I will be working on getting the Playfield glass ordered from a local shop in the next few weeks so I can keep it a little bit cleaner (Currently using a tarp as the cat likes to lay on the field)
My next PBR order will be more bulbs and holders, surface cleaner / wax and then a couple coil stops and a power cord as its cheaper then anything I've got around here.
Anyone know what bulb is inside of the pop bumpers?. Mine look like a bayonet style, just want to confirm they are a 47/44 instead of something else before i throw one in and melt it.
