The dreaded fish wear - has anyone found a way to repair this? A decal would be awesome.

I made a bunch - I can send you one, but you'll need to do some fine shaping with a Dremel tool/scroll saw/belt sander to clean it up.

Let me know

A scan would be great, but a decal would be even better How much would the spare playfield cost me?

My wear is more severe than this decal will fix, plus I have some flipper wear as well

I just need the radio decal; maybe we can work out some sort of deal?

Glad I could help!

Three west coast cities? Seattle, Los Angeles and ???

The "Super Payday" wizard mode is reached when you get to either of the west coast cities and complete their mode.

My bad - I guess its been a while

I made a few of those for myself - PM me your mailing info.

Well if you still need one Pinbits has a new batch of their auto eddy boards available now - I just grabbed one.

Glad to hear you got them; I was worried the ink on the envelope had smudged and they'd be lost in Canada Post limbo forever.

Hope they work out for you.

Merry Christmas

If by optos you mean the eddy boards, the lights should be off, and only come on when they register the ball passing over. If the lights are on all the time you should hear the bulldozer constantly registering hits.

If you have a manual you can see the entire Ted head mechanism, the coils operating his eyelids are 12 and 13 in the sketch. If I remember correctly, coil 13 opens and closes his eyelids, and coil 12 holds them open for long periods of time so the coil doesn't always have to be "on".

On my RS Ted was a mess with broken wires to the coils, broken coil wires themselves and so on. Likely coil 13 is the culprit, but you'll have to take Ted out of the game to service him, and that involves removing a bunch of stuff to get him out.

Per the manual:
- B-12445-7 on the right side, white spring (medium/low spring) 10-148-7
- 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.

It's an integral part of the game.

Yes

I replaced the single rubbers around each post with a rubber to span the posts - problem solved.

I had this exact same problem with Red. The jaw was rubbing against the side of the face, enough that the jaw wouldn't close. Loosened the face screws and moved it over a little to the right (when you're facing Red, didn't take much), problem solved.

Did you see my response in post #1061?

Looks like you're missing the bump stop in the coil housing. That won't make a difference to Red's mouth as its the coil for her to spit the ball out, but will make the action less noisy.

I bought replacement sector gears for Red & Ted because the originals were missing a few teeth. The replacements were slightly larger, enough that everything was very tight when reinstalled and the motor didn't have enough power to move the gears, so Red & Ted's jaws didn't open. I ended up putting the original sprocket gear back in; missing teeth but at least it worked.

If it's 1/2" x 1" I'd say it would work just fine.

RS shaker is the most thought through shaker of any game out there. It activates only at certain times, the intensity varies depending on the mode. It's awesome!

Much better than the modern Sterns that shake for the sake of shaking.

Why not just remove the shaker altogether, yeesh! You're taking out some of the excitement of the game.

If you think regular play shakes the game, wait until you get to Super Payday!

"Oh man, that was terrible"

"How do you eat those things?"

I'm having an intermittent problem when I get to Nashville. Change the Station is a two-ball multiball, but sometimes my game doesn't shoot out the second ball. The original ball goes into play and the mode continues to run indefinitely until you drain.

Any ideas where I should look first?

What about Super Payday?

.

Bump to the top, anyone have any ideas?

Just keep the original ROMs and play better

I believe the rear diverter diverts an orbit shot through the pops either to the right wireform between Red and Ted that returns to the right inlane or to the left wireform to the left of Ted that returns to the left inlane.

That's purdy!

I’m having problems with Ted’s bulldozer and I’m looking for some help.

Ted registers hits and you can advance through the days of the week and lock balls. After locking ball 2 Ted goes to sleep, his mouth opens up, but the bulldozer doesn’t raise, so you can never start multiball. The bulldozer operates as it’s supposed to in test, so I’m at a loss what to look at next.

Man I love the easy fixes, the connector had vibrated loose from the jaw motor opto board.

Does anyone sell the bulldozer rubbers?

Does anyone sell Ted’s face?

Jaws, eyelids, back of Red's head, nothing else

You can shoot the ball into Red's mouth while she's talking. She gags and says, "Bleah! How can you eat those things?"

Very common, there should be a plastic over the ramp to stop that from happening.

You should change "Ted" to "Mario"

My Red has become a ventriloquist.

When the game first boots up and you start a game the jaw moves fine but stops moving partway through the game.

In test close works but not open. Any ideas?

Crap! In test mode you can see the mouth trying to close, even when it's already closed. It just won't open.

Another thing to add to my next Marco order I guess.

Yes I have. During test mode I can open the mouth manually and then it will close automatically as part of the test, but won't reopen. Otherwise I can move the jaw freely with no binding or anything like that.

Very snappy as you'd expect, but at some random point it just stops.

There's a setting in the menu that you have to make whether you want to go through the cities normally or randomly. Not sure which one it is.

The colours are programmed for the game in the ROM you download from ColorDMD. You can't set the colours as far as I know.

They are very much more than a standard DMD, new or used, by a factor of 2.

I'm having an issue with Red's mouth.

Occasionally her mouth would stop working during gameplay, then more so until no it doesn't open at all. In test mode the mouth doesn't open either, but you can hear and see the mouth trying to close itself. If you force the jaw open during the test mode it immediately closes itself, but never opens again.

I've replaced the jaw motor and reflowed the solder connections on the motor controller board, but no changes.

I know it doesn't really affect gameplay but I'd like it to be working correctly nonetheless. Anyone have any ideas.

Gears are fine, already checked those.

I'm in a similar situation, getting ready for winter projects. Ted has seen better days, a few shiners from getting hit in the face all the time. Does anyone know where I could find Ted's face?

Did you locate your Ted?

Almost there, just forgot the paint.

There's a lot of black on the one side of the coil, or is it just a shadow?

If it's locked on, you may only blow a fuse, but you could fry the related transistor.

Marco sells them for $21 each.

You can do a lot of tumbling for that price.

Yes and Yes

Why would Red be affected by the dozer opto? Red has her own Eddy board

On STTNG, it's that last selection on the test menu, try there?
