Service Bulletin #184

June 12, 2015

Use of anything else other than an authorized Stern Pinball OEM shaker motor assembly on a SPIKE equipped game could damage the game’s cabinet node board and will void your game’s warranty.

Symptom:

The game will not start after installing an aftermarket shaker motor assembly. The game’s start button, coin switches, Plumb Bob tilt and coin door G/I lamps do not work.

Problem:

Aftermarket shaker motors have a 100Uf -50V capacitor between the motor’s blue wire and the shaker motor frame. The capacitor causes excessive currents to flow as a result of pulse width modulation (PWD) used to control the speed of the motor. This excessive current exceeds design parameters causing damaging failures of the cabinet Node board.

Quoted from Frax:

Have what? That post had nothing to do with anything. The guy's got a pre-LED-PRO Metallica. Just look at the speaker panel and GI...it's pretty obvious. Spike issues have nothing to do with it.

At least my post was relevant and on topic - even as a future PSA when someone has the same issue with a SPIKE Met and searches Pinside.

Your post on the other hand ...

Quoted from Gremlin818:

Ok but if it not the fuse is the machine done is it not fixable

Everything is fixable

Check your fuses - they are there to protect the electronics incase of a power surge or human error.
Hopefully the fuse just needs to be replaced and you will be back in the game.

Quoted from Pickle:

Unless I am missing something there will NOT be a SPIKEMetallica.......as I understand any games that are run will be the platform they were originally built on....Unless Stern decides to change that.....but my understanding is NEW titles will be SPIKE. VE or runs of current NON-SPIKE games will be made on their original platform. Will be interesting to see what Stern actually does as more VE's are released.

TWD was released originally as SAM and then later SPIKE.
MET LED Pro with the new backbox design - I assumed it ran on SPIKE. I guess not?

Quoted from schudel5:

Only three games released on Spike. WWE, Whoa Nellie and Kiss. Not Walking Dead, not Metallica, not Big Buck Hunter, not Roller Coaster Tycoon, not...

Interesting. How do you explain the SPIKE TWD I saw and played?
