Hi Guys

Trying to figure out a wiring issue with the system 11 guys who have been very helpful. Now, if I could just find an owner with a working Jokerz to assist with a wiring question on the bottom of the playfield associated with relay board C-19988-1

Help greatly appreciated

Thanks all

George

I have a jokerz but I too have some 'wiring anomalies' so can't guarantee what's there is right. The previous owner has a few 'custom wires' and a took out a few lights, including most of the flashers. I guess they were 'problem solving'.

However i can send pics of an area if your looking, maybe it will help.

Hi Vac

Excellent. Thanks for the willingness to assist.

Would you be ok with talking directly as we both look at our respective machines?

Maybe I can help you in one area and you can assist me in another.

216-407-6553. If ok to call. If not, no issue. I can do it by pics and asking questions in writing

Thank you again

George

Hi George, that shouldn't be a problem. I'll PM my number and some time frames that should work. I just moved out her to CO so will need some time tomorrow to hunt down my keys, but over due since I have replacement plastics on the way and I'm looking forward to finishing up the playfield

are replacement plastics for Jokerz available?

Quoted from indypinhead:

Not that i've been able to find, you can buy a new upper play field but not plastics. Its not a horribly popular game so harder to come by than most.

I've been looking for a right slingshot for about a year and finally caved and bought a whole used set just to replace mine.

I've talked to Rick at PPS.

He said that Jokerz replacement plastics are "in the works".

But then again, he says the same thing about a lot of things.

Its a tough machine to support, there isn't much demand. Its not a top tier or even second tier game. Still fun and underrated. If only we could convince Pinball Arcade to make a digital version, then the value would tip in our favor.

I only paid $150 for my jokers, it started up, seemed to be complete, but had an error, indicating the battery. After replacing the battery holder entirely, still no go, so more work needs to be done. However while cleaning up the playfield I found that all of the flashers were missing sockets and wires, one plug on my interconnect board has all of its wires cut, and some janky wires running from the powersupply and one of the main boards. I suspect the interconnect board started to fail, and some clown made some 'refinements' to keep the machine playable.

I'd be happy to have a playable machine with some LED's, so that's what i'm shooting for. Not a full resto, but its in nice shape, so won't be hard to keep it presentable enough to drag to shows.

Good luck on your own.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a documented HUO Jokerz.

I can't believe how unbelievably clean this pin is.

Hey Indy

Could you take a look under the playfield right by the ramp. There are two black sockets with blue and red wires attached. Do you have regular lamps in here or flasher lamps

Thank you

George

GPS,

I'll have to get back w/ you tomorrow on that.

Getting ready to call it a night.

It is not a GI lamp, and there is no diode so it must be a 906 bulb. To know for sure measure the voltage on the red wire, I bet it reads @ 28 volts DC.

If anybody needs replacements Plastics on Jokerz send me a PM. I have ramps, I think a full used set in good condition, a working sound board, and a working aux board.

Hey Grumpy

Thats half the fun of it.

GPS,

Those sockets are for 906 style flashers.

Thank you Indy. Have them ordered. Very helpful as there was nothing there. I am slowly dissolving the mysteries of this machine. I just hope when I turn it on it all goes well!!

Thanks again
