Tales of the Arabian Nights
Williams, 1996Finally had enough Honey To Do items knocked off the list and had time to put No Fear back together mostly on Sunday and finished the rest today. It came out great, GI all has LED's and the back box, still need to do non ghosting LED's for the color inserts I'll place that order this weekend when i start the tear down of Junk Yard and place an order for them both.
Going to spend the first 3 days of my vacation next week just working on JY and Drinking a few beers.
Good to see someone else putting some time and love into a No Fear pin.
I'm half way through a full rebuild at the moment on mine.
Such a fast and fun game! Hope you enjoy yours!
Quoted from BertoDRINK1:do non ghosting LED's for the color inserts
You never need non ghosting leds for inserts on williams dmd pins. Just buy the roms with the non ghosting patch then regular leds will work perfect and you will have the most current roms. Plus cheaper in the long run.

I am definitely enjoying NF. F14 was my 1st pin and this is another fast pin by Steve Richie and I love it. I've always liked jumping from a fast pin like F14 and something like our demo man and now NF can be the fast pin to jump to when I feel like getting my ass kicked.

I'm pretty new to the led's. Black Rose was the first one I did, the ghosting wasn't to bad but there. I started doing our Demo Man but that one is really bad, I did read someone say to upgrade to the latest rom version and it should fix it. I did that just that the latest Rom and it helped but didn't stop it completely and Demo Man is pretty bad. I was going to do the LCD OCD board or non ghosting LED's. Is it a different Rom besides the latest version that someone is fixing the ghosting in???

Yes, and you use it with regular non-busting LEDs.
I need a wpc 95 s for a no fear pinball ... ordered the asic chip but the holder is broken , would really appreciate a decent priced used one ...
congrats. That is the deal of a lifetime. 10k worth of games for $300. Best deal i've heard of recently. It's awesome they survived in the situation they were in. Nice score.
Quoted from BertoDRINK1:I was going to do the LCD OCD board or non ghosting LED's
Okay....the LED OCD fixes two problems completely: Ghosting, AND proper fading of insert lamps. Non-ghosting LEDs only fix ghosting. You still get 'blinky' lights that either don't fade in and out anything like an incandescent at best, and at worst, they just turn FULL ON -> FULL OFF with *no* transition at all.
Thanks all for the heads up on the patched eproms for the led ghosting, I did order a few for our pins, Black Rose and Demo Man are great now.
I am liking the Led OCD board also might try one of those soon also. Thanks.
Quick update been busy with work. Got JY almost completely broken down, I cleaned a few spots like the top of the shooter lane and the black tracks cleaned up also the area by the sewer entrance and it's cleaning up great.
I did go through everything and got it all working and just played it for a little bit also cool game I'm liking it.
One area of concern on JY is a little chipped clear on a insert but it should all clean up nice soon. It's going to look great with LED'S, it could use a little extra light probably going to try the star post lights at the sling shots and maybe the next set of post up also.
Wow! Epic score. I like me some Junkyard, but definitely looking forward to your ToTAN refurb. Best for last!
Quoted from BertoDRINK1:Had to paint 1 set of the legs the other 2 sets will clean up OK. Painted the set black with the Fridge Black glossy paint they came out good, put them on No Fear and they look good on it.
Looks good. I was thinking of doing the legs and trim in black on my no fear restore.
I will be now i know it looks good!
Hey all been a while you know work work work, also had a few other pick ups and shopped out a couple other of our games.
The Big thing slowing me down was the insert that was chipped and a couple other spots that need to be spot cleared, it was my 1st time doing it so I asked and read how to do it first. Well done it came out great and wasn't that hard.
Reassembly in progress should be done in a couple days. Only had 1 coil that needed to be replaced, LED's installed, coil sleeve kit installed, cleaned and waxed, plastics and ramps flame polished if needed, metal hardware all ran through the tumbler.
Quoted from gentrsa:When can I play it Berto?
Sunday at league, I'll be bringing it. I don't even know how to play it but it's clean and shiny.

JY is a super fun pin, way underrated IMO.

SWEET!!!
All finished with Junk Yard for now playfield came out great and looks a lot better the LED's. The 3d printed cars from 
tjc02002 look really nice, I add a 3smd white LED strip behind the cars mount also to light up bobs crane and the back ramp came out nice. The game is playing really fast after the cleaning and waxing and all the coils are hitting nice and hard. Installed a dmd anti reflection shield from Comet also that works perfectly.
Finished up last night with the coil sleeve kit and adjusting all the switches and cleaning all the optos and play for about 2 hours last night, great game.
Now onto the last amigo of the 3 the top dog Totan, this one is going to cost a little but will be worth it.
As if your deal could get any better it looks like your JY may be a prototype / sample game. I think the magnet under the wrecking ball was removed in production games. What is the serial # on the game? I bet it's low.
Wow, that's amazing. The pics really sell the story.
I've gotten some deals but never anything THAT good!
Truly amazing score. Once in a lifetime as others have stated. Keep us up to date on the restorations.
amazing score for sure...
I responded to an ad once for a mata hari. seller said they wanted 250. I say ok, will take it and pick it up tomorrow morning. By the next day the seller had higher offers and wanted more money, then told me it was sold.
Was really bummed about it, but what can you do? That's pinball.
Wish that one day I would find even a "pretty good deal"...
Those 3 games for 3 bills is the deal of the decade for sure!
Glad the machines are getting the love they deserve!

Did you replace all of the rubber grommets on the coil stops?
These all deserve to be replaced in games from the 90s...

Finally getting back around to the Totan. Stripped down the donor ToM cab I used Klean Strip Premium Stripper on the decals let it sit for 15min and it came off like butter. The second side I was able to just peal the whole decal off in one sheet.
Also swapped parts for fresh new brass plated parts from Chris at PinballPlating.Com parts looks great.
My jealously on this thread had waned for 10 months, JUST TO SEE IT POP BACK UP AGAIN AND THE ENVY RETURNS!
Glad to see the restores going so well. Still an amazing find!

Well at least you would be glad to hear that I have no problem lending pins out, the JunkYard has been on loan since I finished it I think I had it for a week. I don't mind sharing my toys
Was going to try and find a new head for the Totan but no luck so far just going to try and repair the original. After I pulled off the worst part the swollen MDF back and took the decals off I think I can save it. Going to re-glue and clamp the corners tonight the follow some of Vids cabinet restore tips using resin on the top and were ever else it needs to hold it together. And cut a new back myself. We'll see how it goes.
