Welcome, Welcome in!!

I've searched and scanned the Pinside Forum for an Official Capt. Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Club without success, so here it is!

Bring all your pics, tech, mods, Trade, For Sale, chatter and tales regarding this wonderful classic 1976 Bally EM pinball machine.

It is perfectly okay to Feel Them Bumpers and Buzz Them Buzzers!
Score More Champ and Death Before Defeat shall be words spoken here!!

Whether it's: CF, CFatBDC, Captain Fantastic, Capt Fantastic, ???... it's ALL GOOD HERE!

Now... just a little about my CF adventure:
I bought my first Capt. Fantastic around fifteen years ago. I loved it. C'mon, with its phenomenal Dave Christensen artwork, Greg Kmiec design and rockin' Sir Elton John as the subject matter... 16,155 silverball tables built, Bally just crushed it. Anyhoo, somewhere along my path I felt it more important to head in the System 11 and DMD direction than EM and I sold my beloved. And last month I found and bought an even nicer CF and it's here to stay. My new CF appears to have been routed (lightly) in Southern California from a coupe of stickers found upon its apron. I'm also pretty sure that I saw somewhere on it 1977 dates, so it may have been built later in production. It plays great and it just has one issue where the "balls in play" are not illuminating even though all five lamps are in good working order. I also want to buy a playfield protector for it in the near future.

Quoted from illudiumQ36:

Did you resolve this issue ? Mine does that as well. I've been able to improve it by cleaning the wiper fingers on the ball count unit, and slightly bending them to increase contact pressure. It still isn't 100% though.

I did resolve the issue, but I have completely forgotten how I did it. My bad. I should have posted a follow-up explanation immediately afterwards. Note to self....

Our 2nd and most recent CF left our gameroom a couple years ago. It's a classic, a big beautiful piece of pinball history, fun shooter and we'll have another one here someday.
