Can you please post a photo of the serial number? If possible also a machine number which is usually located in the upper right corner inside backbox. I am trying to figure out to what number ofthose machines had specific features. One of my three and a half Roadshows is machine number 400 and it does not have Red's hair texture, hole between flippers or dozer blade clear plastics.

2 things... Why not just trim the clear plastic so it no longer makes contact with Ted's cheek. 2nd, the rubber on the single post is the wrong size, it needs to be a 7/16" OD, you have a 3/8" OD on there. Also , make sure you have 5/16" ID rings on the double star post, it looks like the ones you have are 3/16" ID. With the correct rubbers, the ball cant get stuck there.

On the topic of dozer blade protectors, is the dozer blade itself unobtanium? Can’t find it online, mine has a repaired crack. Before I go with Plan B (riveting a piece of painted stainless or something on it) I figure I’d check here...

Ah yeah, I would love to see that. And thanks for the info - the RS I had (which is now under loving care of a friend) was a normal production machine, which would be why I never saw that.

I was able to get a new repro dozer blade from bay area. When restoring my old game I ended up not using it because the color was orangish. I had also bought the last hard hats from marcos they had. In the end I painted the original dozer blade and hard hats to match and keeping the new stuff for stock. I no longer have the game anymore though.

I was not able to find the dozer bumpers anywhere.

Speaking of the dozer blade, I have difficulty cleaning mine up. Novus 3 hasn’t worked. Can someone suggest something that will?

As promised - some photos of early production Roadshow items. Different back of Red's head (right one is an example of regular production back), playfield post hole, preliminary manual and dozer blade clear plastic.

Hi, here is my serial number and game number. Does this mean that my road show is the 524th produced? My game has the clear plastic on top of the dozer, does not have a hole for a center post and red does have textured hair.

I will trim the plastic . I just ordered a specific road show rubber kit in white to replace all those black ones with the correct sizes

Thank you for the info. It is a machine number 1385.

No, that's the Model Number of the game, minus country options. (50024). WMS back in the 90's didn't use serial numbers for serial numbers. (Hah, that makes perfect sense.)

Anyone put a pinsound board in their RS? I’m going to wait it out and go the Pin2DMD route for the display when a colorization is done, and that’s gonna give me some extra cash I can get a pinsound board with.

I’ve seen a few orchestrations on YouTube but they all seem to be the same one (CCR featured, not that there’s anything bad about that). I’m curious if anyone here has done their own and how it’s turned out. Could be a fun way to customize the game along with Soren’s mod...which is freaking awesome.

My boombox got a new look. Work by artist Mark Jarman. If you're interested contact user netman63129.....

Ted’s eyes wouldn’t close last night. I hear solenoid firing in test mode, but not dropping. It’s either the spring, centering washer or post. Simple fix, but taking Ted out is going to be a chore, ugh!

Anyone have any tips? Seems like half the game needs to be disassembled to get him out.

Red comes out really easy and I already fixed her eyes.

The only tips I have regarding removing teds head is: take it all off. It took a lot of time. I was trying to remove as little as possible. That took a lot more time than to just remove it all. In the end I removed everything an changed all the rubbers while I was at it. I also changed all the parts in teds head.

Thanks, I think I’ve gotten lucky and fixed it, but I’m not sure it’s a long term fix. The pin was stuck so from under the playfield, I was able to free it by pushing and pulling on it. It’s still possible the spring needs replacement, but for now it is working,

Got some free time and decided to fix the post on Road Show today

Please share more info if you can. What exactly did you do to fix it?

Mine is almost broken off as well, so i need to figure out what to do. But i have zero experience in that kind of repairs...

Cliffy has a Blast hole repair kit
http://www.passionforpinball.com/roadshow.htm

Yeah, i'm actually aware of that protector. But mine still has the wood, so i was thinking about repairing that if possible.

Cliffy writes: "The Blasting Zone repair kit is intended ONLY for use on games with wood loss"

But perhaps i should just remove the wood and buy the protector

Mantis makes one that's more preventative. You can install both Mantis and Cliffy if you want to.

Ummmm wrong hole

That's what she...............
Oh, nevermind.

The top of my playfield was broken off, so the Cliffy wouldn’t work until I filled it
Trimmed off the back of the repair until the Cliffy fit, didn’t have to break the back off completely, Re-drilled with Cliffy installed. Very solid repair, about an hour of total time, I let resin cure overnight

You do good work. Looks great!!

Thanks for sharing! Excellent pictures

I thought you were going without the Cliffy protector. But your approach seems to be a really good solution.

I actually bought the blast hole protector a year ago, planning to put it on before it broke because it is such a weak area

I have some left over parts if someone is interested. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss pricing.

(2) New Repro Hardhats
New repro dozer blade
Both plastic ramps used (fair-poor condition)
Stripped used playfield (fair-poor condition)

Dozer blade gone.

Had a good play tonight - more than 5,298,000,000 points!

Good score. Do you have the Soren chip. It makes those games much better.

Whoa! I’ve got some work to do

No, unfortunately not. No idea where to get one...

I'm waiting on a friend to burn me a copy, but sounds good to me.

Release notes in this post:

I know that but no idea where to get a burned ROM replacement

Try asking ‘Paul’ on Pinball Info - I have asked him, he will do it for a site donation, not sure about postage though...

Probably easier options nearer to you though.

Sent you PM.

Agree, where can these be found as i am interested in giving it a try

I ordered mine from hobbyroms.com and was very happy. He's already applied the patch to the rom so no effort on the buyer's part.

A good friend can buy a RS for a good price but Ted has had a warm moment so to say.

Anyone having parts for this? Especially the face of Ted is needed.

Are the ramps ok? I have a lead on NOS right ramp, but it is quite pricy for my taste (275 eur). Pinball amigos miight also help you. They are building Crazy mansion pinball and have a gutted Roadhow machine. Pinballrockstar was so kind that he sent me a display cover of that Roadshow.

Finally joined the club...found a really nice one that hasn't been all modded out. Now that I have one, you guys are going to be getting new ramps for this sometime this summer.

20200202_070239 (resized).jpg

That’s great news! RS has been lacking a repro ramp for years.

Personal request - use stainless steel ramp flaps!

Thinking about swapping my boombox out for a more vintage variety. I am going to try to 3D print it in a way that will allow me to move the light on top to be behind the large speaker grills.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Just got one on Saturday. Loving the machine. Delivered by a pinside member, awesome guy who goes above, beyond and who really keeps his machines clean!

Welcome to the club! Looks like a well sorted machine from the photo.

Did anybody record a video playing with the new Soren ROM? Especially the new light show would be interesting - I never ever finished all 18 cities...

Hi,
on my road show my flipper button opto interrupter do not have the blue steel sping like this assembly in photo. My buttons have some gap with the opto blade when not pressed and I would like them to be a bit stiffer. Is it normal that I don't have this springs?

Thanks . Just sent him a message
