Hey guys, couple questions here regarding issues I'm having.
1) Ball lock wasn't working. I found a broken wire connection on one of the optos at the top of the left ramp. Resoldered and now it's working great. A fine victory.
2) My auto-launch isnt working. It works fine if I pull the plunger back out of the way. So, it appears to me the forks are hitting the plunger head. I inspected the launch assembly and it's loose but I really don't see any more play in it than any other coil-arm mechanism I've looked at. Is it possible my shooter rod is bent?
3) My left flipper button is giving me points nearly every time I hit it. The right flipper button less often. After a while they give me "checkered flag bonuses". Where to start here? I'm thinking its one of the stand-up targets that needs to be adjusted. Is the checkered flag bonus only from the targets with the flag inserts in front of them?
Quoted from mattosborn:Mine actually required more washers (6?) to get the plunger tip off the ball. Not sure if someone had replaced the shooter rod and/or spring on mine before.... Just keep adding until the ball rests on the autoplunge fork.
ahh. good idea!
Mine has the 3 washers but I will add to the stack until it does this.
Sometimes I love this place!
thanks.
is there an agreed upon solution to adjust the garage to stop from kicking the ball directly to a center drain?
Here she is all LED'd after yesterday. ( I fixed the right sling bulb and the flipper plastics)
New rubbers
LEDs
New DMD (had a spare)
Switch adjustments on the stand-ups that were scoring each flip
Velcro in the Test Car scoop (still kicking down the gut but much less often)
Washers added to the shooter to help the auto-launch
Story with this guy is I saw it in a listing of a house for sale, sitting in an empty room. Along with a Mortal Kombat 2 converted to a some hunting game. Got both for $2,000. Stripped and sold the MK2 for a total of $300. I'm pretty pleased with a $1,700, lightly played NASCAR.
Quoted from MustangPaul:But did you get the OCD board for the insert lighting?
That is some steal you got there. I would have done the same thing as you.....and I already have the game.
I have not. I'm not sure I will either, though it would be nice.
If I get anything it will be the checkered flag flipper bats (a certainty if I can still get them) and the tachyometer mod (at $100+ I'm not sure yet but it looks pretty cool from what I can tell.)
Quoted from MustangPaul:The tach mod doesn't work well with this game, I have it and don't care for it. Mustang yes NASCAR no.
shoot. Oh well, too late. It's already on the way haha
