Robocop
Data East, 1989Quoted from puck:image_(resized).jpeg
Not sure what kinda bulbs they are, but I hope that helps. Someone hot glued the ED 209 down, but thats ok as I'll be 3D printing a new one. If I LED my new one you can have these bulbs. That could be a few months out as I am still fixing up JM. Good luck in your search!
Do those red bulbs come out by any chance? I still can't figure out what kind they are. Thanks!
Quoted from pinball_customs:Just a heads up, I'm going to work with Puck and get you guys a proper ED-209 replacement
Sounds great!
Quoted from puck:dirtbag66, did you snag that right ramp? If not please let me! I need one
What right ramp? Mine is cracked, but still works great.
Did you get a chance to see what kind of bulbs are inside ED-209?

Totally, check the pic on page 2. They are almost the same size as http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2710
I have some of these and will post a photo with a size comparison, but they are a touch larger. I have been looking and can't find the exact bulbs that are in the ED-209. Maybe someone else can advise?

I might need to pick a few of those up. I'm actually heading to Pinball Life this week to get my new Pinscore display. Hopefully they work.
Quoted from wontwa:I noticed my ED-209 doesn't appear to be lighting up at any point, though I hadn't determined if it was the bulbs or wiring somewhere. Will check back in if I find out more.
I didn't even know the little red lights existed until I watched TNT's YouTube video.
Quoted from dirtbag66:Got my new ED-209 today! Just need to extend the wires to the little red bulbs (figured out which ones I need), mount him to the playfield, then attach the bulbs under his machine guns. Going to look awesome (I hope!)

Sick! I would totally chop the legs off. Where did you get the ED-209? My arrow down sticker needs a redo as well. What should we do there?

I found him on eBay! He actually came with a little RoboCop as well, but I think he is just too small. I thought about taking the legs off, but he actually fits as is! Now I just need to extend the wires that were in the original (crappy) ED-209 so that they fit onto the new one.
First things first, though. Getting all the switches working and replace these weak flippers!
Quoted from pinball_customs:I make a replacement decal for the Arrow.. $8 shipped

They get really banged up, I had to replace them also but thankfully I got a box of random RC parts which happened to have new ones in them..

Just picked up a Robocop that has been in storage for,looks like forever. couple of things that jump out right out of the gun are, there is only only one tip36 on the ppb board. Of course the IPDB data base manual does not cover the schematics for this board, the manual states pages 35 36 37 for board schematics but the manual actually only has 33 pages. So any help here would be great. Also the top 16 digit display on game turn on has one bright segment at the end light up then nothing,, the game goes into game attract mode and the lower display scrolls high scores and such. Game does go into game mode and fundamentally works. There seems to be no sign of battery damage but has had some board work done on power supply and lamp driver board.
Still having problems with my weak flippers. Had a guy out for 3.25 hours and even he couldn't figure it out. So frustrated!

I'm pretty sure there is only one Tip36 on that board I can double check tonight. I will also check my manual for the schematics.

I bought the Rottendog display for $200 as mine was partially outgassed.
It was a super easy swap and now I'll never have to worry about the display again. I understand if you want to avoid the $$ but I was happy to do it for a permanent solution.

Alright, display gassed out, replaced with NOS and working well. Had some issues with flash lamps under the playfield stuck on, the three inserts two black and white and the red one are cooked not sure how I am going to repair those yet, found bad 7408 and replaced. sound alittle tinny, found the cabinet speaker ripped, so looking for replacement. Center plastic over yellow drop targets been fabbed out of blue plastic, so on the hunt for another. Oh ya the plug for the g.i. the four yellow wire one just off the power supply board gets hotter than hell.
Hey guys,
I just bought my first pinball machine. It is a Robocop. I got a good deal but it is in need of some repairs. The cabinet is in great shape but the thing does not work. Burning fuses F1 and F2 on the Power Supply Board. The Digital Display fuse (F3) was burned as well. Lights work on the playfield.
Here are the problems:
Cannot get a game to start
Makes lots of noise from the speaker under the cabinet - loud humming and garbled noise
No digital display
-------Update : I replaced the bridge rectifyer. I tested it and it was shorted. The game started working. Display was not working so I rebuilt the power supply. Now the game is great! It is working fine! Thanks for the help!!!
At this point, I have already found a burned transistor - TR2. I have been told to replace the components in that circuit, i.e., C4,C2,C3. Here is a pic:
So, here is my question:
DO any of you have a digital version of the Schematic for this game? Otherwise, where is the best place to get one?
Any insight into the burning fuses? -
-------Update: One of you was nice enough to send that. Thanks for the help!------

Your name is Pat Lawlor?!?
Awesome.

Get this fixed yet? Mine sometimes blows a fuse and only has hold voltage available. They are so weak it's laughable. I replaced the fuse with a circuit breaker, so at least it's not 50 cents a pop.
Data east service bulletin No. 23 maybe holds the key you need for the weak flippers. It is four pages long and goes into detail on upgrades to the flipper board.
Quoted from Gerrard17:Looks great! Where did you get your chrome moulding from?
automotive shop Canadian Tire, it is 3/4 inch side molding, twenty dollars for 12 ft.
Hey gang, all arrow decal orders have now shipped. Sorry for the delay on those.. gearing up for a new baby over here. It's a real time kill lol

Babies: Always getting in the way of our dreams.
its a data east, always reflow solder on ppb board. prob why your ball doesn't eject if its not switch issue
Quoted from foureyedcharlie:Someone sell me a Robocop!
I got one in Des Moines I will let go. Price depends on how clean you want it, as it needs a good shopping out.
Dan
EDIT: Tried to sell it without cleaning it up for $1100 a while back and would still sell for that as-is. Thinking I will pull the Mylar, clean it really well, put on reproduction plastics and try at $1500 o.b.o if someone prefers it shopped.
