ROAD SHOW CLUB (Hard hats required on site)

Hello Road Show friends! I'm brand new to owning machines, and trying to troubleshoot why I lost all of the area lighting in the bottom right area of my new to me Road Show. I've looked through the manual but still learning how to read them. Any thoughts as to what could troubleshoot this area lighting?

Also, try checking continuity on fuses F106 through F110. Make sure you pull the fuses out when checking with your meter.

did you check the connector to the Power Driver Board (J-120)? common failure point for the pins to overheat and lose contact.

I just tried reseating J120 and the CPU -> power driver ribbon cable, still dark in that lower right area. Need to bring home my Multi to test the continuity on those fuses. Thanks for the suggestions, I love learning about this!

May I say, Planetary Pinball really needs to start making some parts for Roadshow! Almost every game specific part is out of stock everywhere. I know I could use both jaws, eye parts, dozer parts ect.

Totally agree with everything mentioned above! ^^^^^

Also... Ramp decals would be nice, as Ramp-O-Matic has reproduced the ramps recently on Roadshow !!

Wish it was that easy! put a new 5A/250 fuse in there and it popped within a minute. Any basic troubleshooting on that, or is it going to take a more detailed look at the system?

No scratches on my chicken, but my translite does have a couple other minor boo boo's. Classic Arcades was making repro translites, but very recently they either ran out of them or were forced to stop making them. It's now gone from their website and no longer on listed ebay.

Hello,

both parts are available at Pinball.Center, they're located in Germany but they do ship worldwide.

Problem is, shipping to Australia costs 59€...

Buyer beware. They sell parts that they make themselves without any license. The quality is often very poor.

Contact Zitt here on Pinside. He's taking orders for a large purchase from the Pinball Center in Europe at the end of August. I've already signed-up for the RS ramp decals.

It appears they have the RS translite too

Not a translite - but now you have an idea about their quality thinking. Original and repro ramp decal, and apron decal.

Another example from pinball.center. Notice how the greens are totally missing, and the yellow/browns are totally off. Just looks absolutely terrible.

When contacted, they just say that all pinball colors vary, because of age and fading...

I figured out the problem but no idea how to fix it, Road Show friends please look at my post!
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/road-show-lamp-screws-up-matrix-and-should-be-on-gi-but-how-#post-5807540
Basically the spotlight was on the normal laml matrix and the bridge out R is on the GI.
Should be the other way around but I have nk idea how to swap them and if I'll just have the same matrix issues but with the spot working on gi.

Edit, swapped the connectors under playfield... I'm such a newbie i didn't realise they were there. I guess the solution seems simple in hindsight

Ok so my official entering into the club as I've fixed the issues!

So pleased to finally have Ted in my life!

A question, does anyone else's bulldozer blade go up wonky? It's as if the right side gets up a bit before the left.

Also the plastic I've put on the keyring, is it official and where does it go?
It was flat in front of Red hiding the spotlight which was in the wrong location. Upon moving the spotlight i didn't know what to do with it.

My dozer blade did the same thing. I cleaned the opto and it fixed it but I’d like to get one of the new dozer blade opto’s to have as a backup but they seem to be sold out everywhere.

Could you explain? I noticed the motor for it only attaches on one side so wondered if that was why.

Try taking the opto board out. Run a qtip in between the sensors to clean it and make sure the pins have good connections. Mine was filthy and the shaker motor in this game is so strong that I think it wiggles a lot of connections loose over time. Not sure if my problem was the connections or the dirt but it works perfectly now that I cleaned it and reconnected it.

Thanks! I'll take a look next time I've got the playfield up, which could be today or tomorrow as I've got tilt bobs coming (rs came without one!)

I'm still confused as to how that would mean the right side of the blade goes up before the left considering its only one motor. But I'm a newbie and learning by the day!

I'll take a look when possible. It seems when I think I've got it set up nice I notice something else I'd like to tweak

I found this at the bottom of the cab, is this anything to worry about? I couldn't see where it might have came from!

Also i get balls stuck under the lower mini left flipper. It has two posts with individual rubbers. I understand it should be one rubber spanning both, any idea what size rubber?
I ordered a replacement rubber set so hoping there's one in it.
