On the Road Again!

Quoted from Guinnesstime:
Awesome thread. I500 is a killer game. Tough ass flippers will make you a better player.

That's no lie! The exits on the ramps are right on top of the flippers! Plus the ball is going 100mph exiting the ramps. You have a split second to make a quality shot. I've played about 8 games already, & I'm still adjusting to the ball speed coming out of the ramps!

Love the Turbo! What a cool toy! I'll shoot a video & post it tomorrow. It needs LEDs big time! Other than that its playing perfect.

Nice looking cab for sure . Whats the credit dot say the error is?. Id recommend a cliffy for the lock hole and the the right inlane drop as it gets used on every ball and gets chewed up

NICE score ! Uber-rare unfaded cab. Love this machine, been dreaming of putting a high-end restore on mine. Goes well with Mustang too. Enjoy Z !

Good eye! 2 things I found 1) the second switch on the left ramp was out of adjustment.
2) the stand up red flashing targets were not registering hits properly. I think I have that fixed.
I'll order cliffys and some mylar tomorrow.

The only probem I've ever had with mine (knock on wood) was the optos falsely registering. Replaced all 3 with Marcos...simple, easy replacement, and all is well.

Something for you to work up towards Zampinator. Sure you'll beat this in about a week.

I'd say uour game was worth the trip, it's a really fun game. Is this game going to need an OCD board in it when it's converted to leds?

I'm going to use Comet Premium non-ghosting bulbs, we'll see how they look. I've had good results so far with them.

If you do that just remember how the inserts fade from one to another before you change to leds then compare with leds added. The OCD board returns the beautiful fading effects of the inserts too so it's not just to cure ghosting and strobing. My NASCAR insert fading effects were transformed from laughable to beautiful with the stock OCD setting.

I am planning on going to St. Louis next week and while I'm really excited to get my new game I am dreading the 12+ hour drive one way by myself and then back again. I sure hope it is worth it. Congrats on a great game!

Have you had the apron off yet to clean under there? That's the first area I clean when I get a new game and it's always really dirty.

No, not yet. The pin is really clean & the rubbers are all in excellent shape, so I won't do a shop job for awhile.

The 3 light up opto targets are like $25 apiece from Marco. Inevitable upgrade. Snapped this for ya Z. Consider yourself linked.
