Quoted from Pintucky:

Man! Your pin looks bright! That is just danged BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish mine could look like that. I've put in LED's everywhere I could find a place to put them, but mine sure doesn't shine like yours!!! Care to share the secret? Heck, your pin is so pretty it makes me want to go out and buy one! Ha.
And yes . . . this is a severely under-rated pin! Unique and great game play. I can't figure out why it doesn't get any love, unless it is fear of that big display . . . knowing how costly they are to replace (and the problems a lot of people have with them) and how difficult it is to even find one.
By the way . . . does your head work? Turn back and forth? I've put in two new servos and still it doesn't move. If you've had to repair yours, then also share any info on that too please, especially where you bought the servo. I got mine through some online RC stores. Maybe those don't work and you have to buy one from a pinball parts distributor?

Quoted from lucky1:

I think the problem is not the electronic repair of the servo controller board, it is the pic firmware controlling the servo.
If the pic16c56 is defective you need to program a new one and without the code it is impossible to get a working controller.
But if nobody has extracted the code so far, it should not be to hard to reengineer the functionality of the firmware and
write the code from scratch.
This ApplicationNote could help as a starting point.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

Can anybody post some pics of how the right ramp is supported in the back. I took apart to shop it and its sat for 2 years and i cant figure out if there was some hex nuts it sits on or what?

Quoted from crunchysue:

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I tried to get some pics with my GoPro for you. They're here on my Google Drive. Not sure how helpful they'll be - let me know if there's a specific angle that you need.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

I just need all the areas where the ramp is attached to the machine, weather it be sitting on a post or screwed in to something else. what supports the middle ramp? I know the 2 small ramp screws secure it to the playfield, but where else is it secured at in the back? to hold it up off playfield.

Quoted from Crash:

I stuck the eyes plastic between the inside of the left wall of the left ramp return and the flasher. Near the left inlane, just attached it to the same post used the attack the lower portion of the ramp.

Quoted from Colsond3:

So no, not just two. Starting at the bottom of the playfield, there is the hex extender on the left slingshot, another longer hex extender behind the green pop bumper, the "eyes plastic" at the top of the green pop bumper, and two support brackets on the top of the playfield under the display.
The eyes plastic supports a good portion of the ramp above the pops.

Quoted from harig:

Hi ccbiggsoo7,
could you please provide some picture from the hex post you mention?
Was just wondering the same when rebuilding Franky: the lower plastic ramp (=the biggest one) on my game is a bit wobbly and only supported by 2 scresw at the entry flap-followed by the "eyes" plastic-the long post behind the green bumper and finally at the post at the left slingshot.
Seems there should be some additional support at the back of the ramp ?

Quoted from Hazzard:

Thank you!
A lot of sounds did not make it onto the video I`m afraid, but you get the idea
The sound on the video is a mix of a line out recording from the pinsound board and the microphone in my phone, BUT, I did replace the stock speakers (total garbage by the way) with some good quality car stereo speakers. They where not expencive at all, and a huge upgrade in sound. And I replaced the cabinet speaker with a 10" subwoofer. It really gives a fantastic impact on the sound experience.
I actually replacd the Edgar Winter music with the movie soundtrack, but you can use whatever music you want, the sound effects and callout are the same
Yes, I will upload to the pinsound community as soon as I am completely done with the mix. Trying to make new jackpot sounds, but my throat is getting soar from all the yelling, hahah, had to take a break...
If you are interested PM me, and I can share the work in progress mix with you.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

im leaving the club if anybody is interested in a nice freshly shopped franky. its on stl. craigslist and on here!

Quoted from dannunz:

Half of one of Franks fingers is broken on my game anyone have luck fixing it or making a extender?

Quoted from dannunz:

I dont have the broken finger. It came like that.

Quoted from dannunz:

Anyone sell plastic sets for Frank?

HELP AGAIN
i had to replace the ball launcher bracket since it broke the other day.. so i replaced it now it doesn't work and 3 other coils aren't working... Geneva, Sarco and the graveyard are no working any ideas they were working fine.. when i do a coil test nothing is happening...
any Help would be appreciated

Quoted from upsfeedr:

Thanks for the help it was the fuse when i checked last night guess i didn't notice.. for now i took another fuse 5a and put it where the coil fuse goes 4a and it works great all the coils are working again. just don't have the laser kick back working until i get a new fuse..
thanks again

Quoted from Colsond3:

You could blow the transistor on the driver board, and burn out or damage anything that is on the same circuit. You can under fuse, you can’t over fuse.

Quoted from Ven:

Anyone happen to have a set of the black lightning bolt inlane plastics or possibly a scan of them? Picked up an MSF and it is missing these and also missing the clear plastic cover for the right ramp that keeps air balls from hitting the wire form ramp for the north pole shot.
Thanks..

Quoted from Ven:

Yep took it in as partial trade.

Quoted from HIPPY:

There is a 5 pin connector on the display to the power supply at CN6.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Ven:

Does anyone out there need a set of inlane plastics?
I made up a new set because my machine was missing them and I made a few extras $25 plus shipping for a pair.

Quoted from Ven:

Here is a quick picture of them.[quoted image]

Quoted from bbaker2824:

That is exactly why I haven't tried on this game. Would love to have that bright shiny finish but the risk reward just didn't seem worth it.

Quoted from slizzap:

Thanks for the input. I ended up buying the full LED kit from Marco Specialties. I'm glad I did since it came with absolutely everything I needed including maps and a spreadsheet detailing what type of bulb and color. Really made it simple...was able to replace all the lights over the span of 2 nights. However, I think I may have been missing a few LEDs in the kit, as I have a couple questions for anyone that can help:
1) There are 4 Jackpot graphic/LEDs on the playfield. What color should they all be? I ended up with a red flashing Jackpot in front of the ramp, the left orbit has a graphic over it, so that is basically red/orange, and the remaining 2 Jackpots are white. I would assume they should all be the same, but need confirmation.
2) For those that replaced LEDs, there are exposed lights with colored plastic boots over the lights for the 2 scoops (Geneva and Sarcophagus) and for the 3 North Pole lights. Did you guys place the rubber boots back over the LEDs, or did you simply put colored LEDs and leave them exposed? If you did re-use the rubber boots, anyone know where I can find them? I'm missing the ones for the scoops.
Oh and I did end up ordering the 3 x Cliffy's a couple weeks back...still waiting for them to arrive.
Thanks.

Quoted from HIPPY:

There has been a discussion on this thread about the eyes plastic, hard to find. There is one listed on eBay right now.

Quoted from upsfeedr:

Do you have a list. Of the items
