Has anyone here taken a Stern chime unit and converted it to work in a Williams game? I am mainly wondering if there are any 24v coils that are the same size as the Stern coils such that you can just swap them out. Otherwise, I could see drilling new holes for the coil stops to accommodate the size of a 24 coil like a A2-26-1300.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:I've never done it, but the WMS reel coils should be very close in bobbin size. I think they may be B26-800.
That was one I saw on one of the coil lists that seemed like a candidate. I actually have a Williams score reel, with that coil, coming the mail today!
Just as a follow up, if anyone is interested, I made the chime unit conversion happen. I pulled the N-31 2000 coils. I swapped in B1-26-800 coils with two big washers and spring washer per position. The 24v coils were smaller so I filled the gap with washers. Now I have chimes in my Williams 3-6 multipin to play Hot Tip.
IMG_7926 (resized).jpgDoes anyone happen to have part number for the Stern chime unit grommets? The grommets for the Bally chimes appear to be too big.
Quoted from bigguybbr:I had the same issue on my Meteor where the slot for one of the 3 drops was too small for the new style drop targets to work properly. In my conversations with CPR they said they would expand the cut out in future runs. Maybe someone should reach out for Star Gazer too.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Does this mean CPR is the one that took over the Greatwich stuff or was CPR planning to do Star Gazer anyway?
Quoted from hisokajp:isnt the receiver the same as standard size games? If it is, you can get a replacement from Mantis. Wide body lockdown bar are hard to find though, GL!
I believe that is correct regarding the receiver.
Yes,
Quoted from TheLaw:Also no coils; But 7 bongs and solenoid board has proper voltage reading
I don't know if bongs will help in troubleshooting, especially seven of them.
Quoted from gdonovan:I made a Seawitch harness from scratch using a Last Action Hero harness as a donor.
But I'm a lunatic.
This does sound like Lunacy.
Quoted from play_pinball:Well I guess chalk it up to a problem literally staring me in the face. Probably worked too late last night. Just came back to it and immediately saw the support blade in between was pressed against the long blade

Been there...
Quoted from Its_me_aj:Our set up at the Dory Hill pinball camp out
[quoted image]
I'd be hanging at this tent. It sounds like such a cool event. I have dreams of doing something like that on the east coast.
Quoted from Mathazar:Looks great, nice job! The biggest complaint on have on the CPR Meteor is the post between the flippers.....dead center with the artwork and flippers on the OEM, and off-center with the flippers on the CPR. I have an early run of the CPR Meteor (the one where they "forgot" the score value artwork in front of the METEOR drop target bank) and my post is so far off center with the flippers that the ball would get trapped between it and the right flipper at rest. I had to fill in the hole CPR put for the post and then drill my own equidistant between the flippers ends. I used a black washer between the post and the playfield to cover up the filled-in original hole.

Yikes, I guess I'm going to need to check that on mine. I have the same playfield and will be starting on it soon. I'm just doing some final tweaks on my Skateball restore. Thanks for the heads up!
