Have my road show for about two weeks. Loving it. But, Red's jaw seems to be getting stuck in the open position. I checked the mechanism under the playfield and the gears seem to be fine. Motor as well. It seems like it gets stuck somehow in the open position and the motor does not have enough power to get over the resistance. I can manually push it over it by rotating the main gear wheel. It almost kicks over it. After that it will work fine again for a dozen games before it gets stuck again. Seems to be overturning on opening the jar. Could not find any adjustment screw or similar. Any body any idea?
Thanks
Quoted from purplemunkydishw:I am willing to bet the gears are slipping. They may look okay, but the way the game detects open/closed mouth positions is by simply detecting a current spike when the motor maxes out its movement, this puts a lot of stress on the nylon gears and is why the are so typically worn out, it doesn't take much for them to round off slightly and then you get lazy jaw action.
It's almost always just the sector gear:

But the motor gear can wear out too.
It is not slipping when closing. It literally gets stick in the open position. You need to push it over a jump (there is no hump, it just feels like it), but I guess I'll simply replace both to be sure. They are each less than shipping cost

Quoted from Bohdi:My thoughts exactly. Want one badly for it, but for about 400, still unsure. Think I'm going to go with the Laseriffic Topper instead..
Go for the DMD. Totally worth it

Quoted from Juicerc51:I am nearing the end of completely restoring the cabinet and used new decals. The blue sky on the decals is quite blue. The old color was more sky or lighter blue. I have new chrome legs for the cabinet. Should i powdercoat them or leave them chrome? If i powdercoat them do i match the blue on the new decal or go closer to the lighter blue i see in pictures online?

I actually think this blue is very close to original. Mine is all original and it is a lot darker than a lot of the RS out there because it hasn't faded as much.

Putting my RS back on the market. Really nice condition, with zero playfield wear.
I need to move it, so I am putting out a bit more aggressive price (considering the extras).

I would be willing to ship if buyer organizes the shipping but would greatly prefer local. I deliver within greater LA area, and would potentially consider delivering as far as the Bay Area, Vegas, etc., for a reasonable fee.

Quoted from gweempose:I just joined the club last week. My game has a hole for a center post just below the "Shoot Again" insert. It's obviously factory since the artwork goes around it. Is this an early/sample playfield?

LOL.....I was in the process of replying with "Mine had it too".....but then I did look at who posted the pic....LOL. Pretty obvious answer....
But I have to admit, made me curious. I have only seen 3 RS total (in person), and they all had that hole in the center. Is there any real info out there why some would have it and some not? Never heard about European games needing it.... but now that you guys mention it, I do seem to recall that every game I played as a kid and teen, did have a post there.
