Quoted from Decat:So for those Popeye owners/appreciaters, a few questions:
1) Have you had to modify or replace the ball trough optos?
I installed the GLM 7-opto trough boards. It's a no-brainer for all of the B/W Widebody games. Awesome product.
2) Have you had to fine tune the ball lock to correctly register ball locks, and what method did you use?
Yes. Pulled the Bluto trough, cleaned everything, bent one or two of the switch activator wires a bit. It's a little fiddly.
3) Have you had to add support to the underside of the animal diverter to get it properly leveled?
No. Mine has always worked fine. I would love to cut off the last 4-5 inches of the blue ramp and replace it with a wireform. Can't see the top of the left outlane area at all. Horrible design flaw.
4) What strength coils do you have in the main flippers and the mini flippers?
Mains are 29's. Can't remember what the minis use.
5) What is your favorite art detail (piece) on the machine?
I like the boat apron a lot.
6) What is your favorite audio clip?
"What a handsome brute."
7) What is your favorite DMD animation?
The Bluto Multiball start with Popeye's fist coming through the peephole.
8)What is the toughest shot for you to hit consistently?
The Swee'Pea lanes are almost impossible.
9) What is your most satisfying shot?
The Swee'Pea Extra Ball shot
10) What skill shot do you go for consistently?
Linwood, NJ
