Looking for any help from the experts to ID some missing components. One of the drawbacks to working on a rarity is that there is little to no information out there on this machine. I’ve even tried searching for other Marvel pins with limited success.

The first pic is the backbox. Assuming what’s missing is a bell solenoid. I don’t see one in the schematic unless it goes by a different name. Is there a corresponding switch that would be on this? There are two sets of wires, one with bare ends and one that look like someone cut the tabs off a switch stack.

The second pic is the cabinet bottom. Clueless as to what is missing here.

Also chime in if you have a good method of cleaning the cloth wire insulation. Tried alcohol and simple green without much luck. Having to guess at the color codes makes the schematic pretty useless at times…

Reference pics would be amazing! Hopefully your game is complete. A shot of the whole backbox insides would be good too.

If you wouldn’t mind grabbing a pic of the back glass, mine is toast and I am planning on scanning it and digitally reconstructing it. More reference material would be helpful.

I will PM you the schematics

Thanks again for the offer, this is the kind of thing that makes the pinball community awesome.

Thanks Dave. There is a meter called out in the schematics that is not accounted for. The game does have a knock off button- I think it’s the switch stack on the lower left of the cabinet pic. There’s a button under the cabinet where a power switch usually lives. I assume the knock off counter would be the “free game” unit? If I understand correctly, the pin awards free games which are tracked by a projector unit and wheel in the back box that goes up into the 60s. The k.o. Button steps them down, once the player is payed out. This is all conjecture based on similar games I have read about, since I haven’t actually had it operating yet.

Really appreciate that you took the effort to document the museum game for me (and anyone who finds this thread in the future). It’s interesting that between mine and yours there’s a complete game.

I now know that the bell coil is the only thing missing in the back box, and the unused terminals on the bottom of the cabinet are maybe a feature that wasn’t installed. You are correct that someone removed the “free game” credit projection unit but left the switch stacks. I’m pretty sure that the additional disconnected wires in mine are from a broken bulb holder behind the stand-off panel.

The rules card is an awesome bonus. Between that and the play field I now have a fairly good idea of how scoring should work. I’m going to use the scan to reproduce it.

No worries on the glass. I think I have enough left to scan and restore digitally. If I get that far I’ll be sure to send you the file to have for the museum archives.

Thanks again for the help!
