Quoted from Boise_D:

I got the altek lamp driver board so I could use regular LEDs. They look fantastic, but the ones closest to the 8 drop targets flicker. I’ve even tried flux bulbs there, and even those flicker. Advice?

Solder a 470 ohm resistor from the base of the lamp socket to the tab. Sometimes in certain games, it’s the only way to get rid of a flickering led. I had to do this with my centaur, after trying three different lamp boards.

So at some point in time, someone added a second reset coil to the large drop target bank. I’m sure they had an issue with the dt’s not all staying up, and used this as a fix.

What I don’t understand is why they added a new wire for the extra coil. They Daisy-chained the power side from the other coil. But for the ground, they ran an extra wire all the way back to the connector in the back box. It’s the green wire in the picture.

They almost seemed to know what they were doing. They put a connector on it, so it could be removed. Also, they did a decent job of tucking the wire in the harness.

Any idea why a second ground wire would be used, rather then just linking it to the other coil?

I’m tempted to leave it with the extra coil, since that bank could use it. CC86C605-685C-4018-A346-9235BB934A71 (resized).jpegCC86C605-685C-4018-A346-9235BB934A71 (resized).jpeg

I decided I’d try to improve the look of the drop targets, so made new decals for them.

Once the bank gets rebuilt, I’ll see how it looks in the game.

Quoted from play_pinball:

I was actually thinking about doing this same thing! Great minds!
Assuming it looks as good as hoped, I’d probably be in for some decals with that ball guide set you’re making me djblouw

Well, this was kind of a one-off thing. But if they look good when installed, and tested, I’ll consult with the wife and see if she can put up with me to make another set.

Here’s the targets installed. You don’t notice it much in game play, but it’s better than the boring blue dot. 86884771-6158-4424-8FF7-C01C1DB34887 (resized).jpeg86884771-6158-4424-8FF7-C01C1DB34887 (resized).jpeg778CB014-7994-4B3B-9CFF-D9C454E9608D (resized).jpeg778CB014-7994-4B3B-9CFF-D9C454E9608D (resized).jpeg

Quoted from tatman9999:

Picked this nine ball up. It was non working. I replaced reflector board with new connectors. New MPU and solenoid board. The 10 amp fuse blows and it won’t start a game. Looks like full mylar from the factory . Playfield is pretty nice.

Looks like J1 on the rectifier board is wired wrong.
It was an 8 pin connector from the factory.
The replacement rectifies have a 9th pin (for games like KISS).
Slide the three wires on the right side, one space to the left. Space 9 should be empty.

Quoted from tatman9999:

I changed the 3 wires on j1 and fuse does not blow now. Coils are working. I have 3 balls in it and still won’t start a game.

Before you sell it, please re-do the crimps in all three plugs on the rectifier board.

You shouldn’t have bare wire showing out of the connector and/or the crimp barely hanging on.

This will make the game more reliable down the road.
