Can anyone provide me with Pictures of the dummy mechanism? I need to fix one for a friend, the Dummy is attached the rod, but im not sure how the dummy connects to the mech. he sent me a picture of it and I see a hole at the bottom of the rod where it looks like either a pin or a screw goes there. Im trying to buy the right parts to reattach it. The manual shows a Roll pin on the list, but I want to see how it connects if possible.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you! Thats what I needed to know

Does anyone have a complete bulb list for Party Zone? A friend of mine has one he wants me to shop out, it has some flipper issues and needs new rubbers, and some lights are out, so I want to go ahead and LED it for him. Since I dont have the machine in my possession, all I have to go off of is the manual/part list, but I feel like there are WAY TOO MANY bulbs listed. I personally like to build my own LED kits opposed to getting a kit from one of the major sites.

Is there a slot in the plunger for the roll pin? I think my plunger is busted. The dummy will snap in, but the post pops out almost immediately.

Does anyone know if they have replacements?

Also, should it be common practice to replace fuses when rebuilding flippers? I just rebuilt the flippers on this party zone, and it was working great when all of a sudden the right flipper stopped working. The fuse blew and I didn’t have any on me to replace it :/

And has anyone had issues with the drink.eat.merry target lights not working? Looks like the entire board of lights is out, I replaced a known working bulb and it still didn’t work.

Thanks for checking. Do you know what I can use to replace this? Just a standard flipper plunger maybe? The manual doesn’t have that part listed, I see the other parts and the full mechanism part number.

Maybe I can use this? It’s listed on the party zone compatible parts

My dummy needs to dance!

I reached out to Marco about this, and based on what they said, I need "A. Shaft - Dancing Dummy - 02-4562" which they dont carry and i cant see to find.

Anyone happen to have one? Maybe ill be able to do something to get this one fixed if not.

Well...a few drops of Epoxy into the top where the shaft connects and it seems to be holding well. The new shapeways dummy lives!

The custom audio is great! I wish I could do something like that for my South Park machine .

Looking forward to seeing a video of your final product!

So i have a party zone I have been working on for a guy on and off. I have replaced the balls, rebuilt the flippers, replaced the ball shooter, replaced a bunch of broken plastics, new rubbers and cleaned everything.

One thing I noticed was it doesnt save settings, and it had batteries that looked a little rough, which i removed and I tried to clean up the best i could to prevent any damage. It doesnt really look like there was damage. I told him the best route to go is to get NVRAM, which will require me socketing the chip, not a problem, but i only own Stern Whitestars at the moment, so i would have to do the work on site and its not the greatest work environment for soldering.

We went ahead and tossed in new batteries, but the game still doesnt appear to save its settings. If there was damage to the battery area, i would imagine that would cause the settings to not save, but if there was damage to the battery holder area, would that matter if i put in NVRAM? I would think not, but Im trying to get some more info on that since i havent had this issue myself.

Thanks Ill have to take a better look at it, this is the only Bally game ive worked on. I wont have an issue soldering it, i just dont want to pull the board to take it home and not be able to test it on a machine. I might just have to bite the bullet and do the work where the machine is.

I bought the body on shapeways and the legs from Macro. I think they also have the body bracket, the hardpart will be finding the shaft that goes into the coil if you dont have that. you might have to make something, I was unable to find any parts of the mechanism and ended up just using a strong epoxy to fix my coil plunger issue with the dummy.

They look great! I bet if you made the garage ramp for TSPP you would have a ton of buyers since they are always broken. (mine is broken.)
