ROAD SHOW CLUB (Hard hats required on site)

Just an FYI on a subtle detail on this game that gets missed, or often messed up as parts/leds get replaced....

The target colors, pop bumper covers, and city lights on the map all correspond to one another, so if you hit an orange target or the orange pop, it should light an orange city on the map. If you hit a yellow, it should change to a yellow city and so forth.

I have seen so many of the map lights get replaced with random colors, and am guilty of it myself on my table by changing the white pop bumper to blue.

Quoted from pacman11:
Thanks for the info.. Okay got into Ted's head today and found out that one of the coil plunger had a plastic piece that was broken on it that attaches to the eyelid. So now I just need to find this part and order a new one.

Order 2, red will need it eventually. And a pair of the centering flanges as most likely those will be missing.

With Ted being such a pain to get out, I would suggest replacing all the springs and plastic arms as well, its less than $3, and will save you from having to deal with them for a long time.

Started putting leds in my roadshow and noticed those extra lights in the back. They have bulbs in them but never light up. What is the point?

Guessing that they are all burnt out if you have never seen them flash.

He may not have noticed if they only flash during game play. Do a flasher test on all of the flashers listed in the manual

For the flashers in the back they only come on once in a while, during game play. Also I stuck with bulbs. LEDs to brite. Was like photo flash, to distracting.

Hey just joined the club today and wife isn't going to let me play it if I can't figure out how to adjust the shaker or turn it off. I have looked through all the settings and don't see anything for it, can't find anything about adjusting it in the manual either. Any help?

The shaker is adjustable if you have the latest ROM, L-6 I believe.

Not a problem to replace, I just checked mine, yes L-6, Adjustments 2. Feature adjustments, number 25. the only thing you could screw up is bending the pins and starting over, can't hurt the machine and the wife will be happy.

i have seen some people comment that the difference between the normal and soft setting for the shaker is not noticeable, would you agree? the setting it is on now is insane, the ones i have played on location are not this violent.

I would agree! I had to build a resistor circuit for mine to have any control over it. Even on "soft" the legs were jackhammering thru my floor while playing, not to mention vibrating the PF glass so violently that I couldn't hear the game sounds over it!!

It's still crazy on "soft". RS shakes like a mofo!! I bet you'll just have to unplug the shaker for your wife. Seriously. Shame, as it's awesome on the game.

Pulling the shaker on an RS would be as bad as unplugging the speakers, IMHO.

I've got LEDs in mine, but put Blue ones under the white caps. Helped kill the "flashbulb" effect.

At least $2500 I'd say.

#830 7 years ago

Amarillopinball

Pinside member

$2500 will get you one with quite a few issues. take a look at the current market, they range from $2500 - $4000 on pinside, the one at $2500 has a few issues to work through.

I would say $3000 for a 100% functional game, $3500 if the cabinet is nice and there isn't too much wear around the fish spot.
if it has a color DMD, LEDs, topper, mods, it would be worth $4000 IMO. I wish mine was that nice

Yeah a color dmd swap is like 5 minutes, tops. and most of that is just threading the nuts and spacers on when you place the LCD.

Meanwhile, I need to get Ted's head out again as a wire to his eye coils broke again, and I need to replace the eyelets so his eyes center properly again. Thinking about streaming the whole process on twitch.

LCD is the way to go. You can't do dotsXL or any other mode except the standard tiny dots with the LED. dotsXL is the way to go.

I am replacing the springs on the shooter rods for my Roadshow.
Currently the left spring is tighter than the right one - is that correct as it's probably not ideal having a high tension spring on the main shooter rod?

- B-12445-4 on the left side, green spring (medium spring) 10-148-4

Ignore the first image, I don't know how to remove it from the message.

Yes thats how it should be. Only a light spring on the right. You should only need enough power to hit the skill shot or pop bumpers. The left one for flying rocks has a steep ramp to make it up.

Unless ted is looking at you wrong and you want to launch it at him and break the bulldozer

I'm sorry I'm not sure what that is. I replaced the batteries and replaced the Rom chip with an L-6 from eBay back in May soon after I bought it. That's the extent of what I've replaced on any circuit boards.
