Does anyone have a hi res pic of the bottom of the rock-it-meter? Just helped a buddy move one, and it has bad wear spots by the flippers, and he would like to make a decal for the area.

Looks like I'm inheriting that Party Zone that I helped move a few months ago. The wear spots, were a deciding factor on the owner to let it go, and the Captains head is having issues again. Once I get it set and have a go through, I'll see what I can find.

Quoted from crujones4life:Just installed new MPU and game is playing great! Replaced 26 bulbs. Have a couple of hard to reach one left to replace. Cleaned playfield but needs some more cleaning. Couple questions...
1. How do I replace the bulbs on robot comic? I couldn't get the bulb out.
2. My Captain B.Zarr head does not rotate. It is stuck in one position. Can't even move it manually. Troubleshooting steps?
This game is so much fun!
Funny I just shopped mine out today. For the bulbs, they're 555, and you should be able to pull the out. Don't twist or bend, just pull straight out in the direction they're facing. If they still won't come out, you may need to remove the back panel.
As for the head issue, I would check the wires going to the motor, and the motor itself. It's possibly seized. When you first turn it on, it should say press enter to see the errors. Hopefully it mentions the head.
Quoted from crujones4life:Can now manually move the head but doesn't try to move at all during game or test mode. New connectors coming soon to replace corroded one at J212. Hoping that helps.
Head should go into to test when you turn her on, and begin to move right away. Once you get that, you'll know you're on the right track.
Trying to reassemble to dancing dummy, but don't have enough spring grip washers, and I can't locate them online or in stores. So what are people using to secure the arms and legs on the dummy.
Part number: 20-9689
Thanks.
Quoted from crujones4life:What bulbs go in the black housings in the backbox? Mine are filled with 555 but none light up. Haven't swapped them out yet but is that the right bulb? Or were they originally blinking 545s?
Pretty sure those are 906 flashers. Will check when I get home.
Quoted from DougPiranha:Does anyone have a scan or decal for the "Rock it Meter" area. I have a nice PZ with a trashed area in front of the flippers.
I will pay for a decal if someone has one.
This. There have been some attempts made, and I know I could use a couple, one to use right away and one for back up.
Quoted from crujones4life:I'd love to help out. Wonder why so many Party Zones have wear. Aren't they all Diamond Plate? Anyway...would pictures from my pin help?
Also, can someone verify what bulbs originally went in the black bulb holders in the backbox?
906 flashers
Quoted from capriv8s:I ordered some from this place
https://www.springmasters.com/
but i had to order about 500 as they don't sell small numbers. If you are stuck I can send you some (you pay postage e.t.c.)
Thanks. PM sent.
Quoted from crujones4life:Would someone who has a working B.Zarr head that rotates left and right correctly please post very clear pictures of the connectors on the MPU?
I can, but it won't be until Sunday.
Quoted from crujones4life:Thanks again!
Well I'm concerned now. According to the manual, my connections should be on J206 & J208, and mine are not. Yet mine works as it should.....
