I dont even have one yet, but its the next game on my list. I had a couple of questions about rollergames and rather than start a thread for a couple of questions I figured this pin deserved its own club.

Lets see pics of your pimped out rollergames!

So my questions:

Is the jackpot award a random point value, or is it progressive? Can you earn multiple jackpots during multiball, or is it one and done like High Speed?

I saw that there are Pinsound files created for this game, but I couldn't find any actual audio or video of it, would love to hear how it sounds if anyone has it installed.

Always love me some CGR reviews! That guy is hilarious.

Great looking game! I am a love 'em or hate 'em guy when it comes to LEDS but those are well done.

Thanks Whysnow and LEE, I read through that and must have missed that multiple jackpots can be awarded, but still wondering how you advance it. John Wart must know as he is the king of RG.

Still interested to know what builds the jackpot value, and if anyone has pinsound installed in their game.

Thanks! If you remember it next time you play that would be cool, no rush.

Surprised john wart jr has not chimed in yet, I thought he was king of RG.

Found a nicely written article about rollergames, only skimmed it due to time but plan on reading it later.

Oh no! Local completion for the same pin!

Phew. Was worried I was going to have to start dissuading you from the game. Maybe set up a fake account to start bad mouthing it to you.

Oh I was trying hard, all sorts of wheeling and dealing behind the scenes. Was trying to sell my worlds fair EM just to pay for the transportation up to the Bay Area, sold my taxi back to Pinwillie to get the money but I was only getting some that I was going to give to Tracelifter as a deposit. Honestly, it was a mess with too many intricate pieces that all needed to fall in place. I just didn't want to see it parted out. When I head Molly from pins n needles wanted it I told him to please sell it to her. It went on location which is awesome. I will get mine, I am focused and have wanted one forever at this point.

Love the pink powder coating!!!

I second that, its awesome!

Nice! Thanks whysnow! Did not realize that there was a multiplier in affect too. Thanks again for solving this question.

Thanks for posting a link!

Getaway and Rollergames! You have my ideal line up!

not familar with this term, I assume thats ramp from upper left flipper?

Thanks, thought I would ask since I should be getting one soon! I mean its about time that the guy who started this club actually get one right?!

Any source for replacement ramps or is it unobtanium? Dont even know if I need one but searches online show zilch.

Yeah buddy!!!!

Is the little 123 horseshoe shot supposed to spot one of the numbers? Or is it solely for earning an extra ball? Wondering if there is a bum switch up in there.

It's a great game, glad you could join the club!

Possibly my favorite music in all of pinball.

in the middle of tearing mine down, damn this thing is a bitch to take apart without having the playfield out. Taking that big curved plastic out of the back was tough! After this I'm building a rotisserie.

Damn! Wish I did that!

Anyone have a source for "the pit" decal for the little metal ramp? Scan would work too.

Love this game! Had wanted one for a couple of years before getting this baby.

That would be great!

Oh well, guess I should have asked first. It's getting cleaned that's the point.

It's getting there! CPR plastics on the way. It's a Diamond plate, and I go back and forth every day wether or not to pull the Mylar. It's just a little hazy, not that bad. Opinions?

Even the JET in the back looks good still!

I had to ask somewhere else as well. Ordered mine a few days ago and the website was doing free shipping. They aren't exactly the same as the originals but beggars can't be choosers.

How's your "the pit" decal on the metal ramp above the VUK? I'm trying to print myself a new one, let me know if yours is in need of replacing.

Hmmmm I will have to check, don't think I realized that was installed. Does that mean I can eliminate that rinky dink battery set up that's just hanging in mid air Seth?

I will double check tonight

I meant to come back and reply to this, it's certainly worth trying to fix since the parts are so cheap, I don't know how to fix that missing pad though. Still need pics of the wires? I can take some later.

Make sure it's not the spring connecting the plunger to the arm that's broken, or the arm itself, very common, spring was broke on mine.

image.jpg

Well that definetly needs a fix!

Make sure you have the correct spring installed, should be red, although most likely the color is long gone on yours. Adjust the shooter rod itself by loosening the three screws inside the cabinet on the housing to make sure the plunger tip is hitting dead center. Make sure your plunger rubber tip is good and not broken, and remove it to make sure the end of your rod is not mushroomed and worn down.

Get another screw for the ramp, pinball suppliers have them, but if you take the one you have to a hardware store you can probably find one there.

I only know of one cliffy for the ramp, what the other cliffy you mentioned for? Would be nice if he made one for the VUK at the pit.

Good info! Going to order one now while everything is still apart!!

can finally do this today, work has been slammed and have been working late with no time to do this.

contact Ronnie1144 on here, he had to make some recently

BOOM! Made a new "pit" sticker for my ramp. I am not selling these FYI.

image.jpg

So finally got mine all cleaned up and playing really nice. Did some custom stuff to mine. Used pink and blue cliffy sleeves instead of standard black. Clear pop caps with pink LEDS. Puts some other pink and blue frosted in other strategic locations. Added an LED in the outhole to illuminate the flippers. Made a quick custom free play card.

Can you just remove the arm from the microswitch and just replace that? Maybe that's what your already asking though.

I really wish CPR would have included it with their repro plastics set. luckily mine was there.

if you saw my "The Pit" sticker a few posts back and yours looks bad and needs replacing I will be happy to send you a replacement I made completely free. I will accept no money, not even for postage.

Let me know via PM as I want to mail them in the next couple of days and will be removing this post in 24 hours.

Last bump for this^^^^^

sorry, a change in work scheduling has delayed these going out. But they are on their way! this means you can still get in on them!

Pm me your address

probably a specific switch, did you look at the switch matrix? I don't have it handy

I would guess there is a problem with the switches in the ball lock not recognizing that second ball bring there. Going into switch test and put balls in there one at a time and see if the lock registers both.

Good stuff, glad you got it running.

Ok- PIT stickers FINALLY went in the mail today, thanks for all your patience!

Everyone got two because you have to cut it down yourself, so an extra just in case you mess one up. The file I got was exact size so I had a friend add bleed around it to make cutting a little easier. Just use a ruler and a razor blade.

Let me know if you need any more assitance.

image.jpg

^^^^ that's a very important spring. You can be in coil test and hear the coil fire but not realize that the arms are not being pulled diverting the ball to the proper path. My friend I bought mine from had no idea his was broken and he is diligent. Multiball is a LOT harder to get without it.

I bet good money your spring is broken or that the arm itself is broken. In coil test see if the little arms in the slot actually fire out when testing.

Awesome! You're welcome.

very possible, but that spring is not easy to get to, so when it broke it just didn't get fixed. The game would still earn money without it.

Glad to hear people like them!

Nice!!!

You're welcome!

Acting up how?

Confused by what you mean when you say "wants to keep locking the second ball"

Going to try and get it clear in my head.

Light lock and lock first ball fine.

when you light the lock for the second time and lock the second ball does the game say "ball two locked?" does it then eject a third ball?

If you light the lock the third time and then shoot the wall ramp what happens? before it even reaches the lock area the game should go dark and it should start chanting rollergames...rollergames.... rollergames, one of the upper switches in the ramp should trigger this. I will go play a couple games and pay attention to which one.

I would guess the second switch in the lock isn't working properly then, it's not recognizing that you have a ball already locked if you have two locked already, and the third is giving you the ball two locked message.

My guess is that the third ball hitting the already second locked ball is applying enough pressure to make switch register, but since it's at an odd time the game doesn't know what to do with it. Look at the switches in your lock area, rest in switch mode by putting the balls in. Try it multiple times with the balls, see if both locks register every time or if it's intermittent.

You kinda answered your own question. Maybe worth it if you have a diamond plate playfield.

Exactly, your finger will push those gates mucg farther than the ball will. Check with the ball a few times and then tighten those switches.

My good friend and very wise man jvspin told me once, everyone always jumps to the conclusion that a problem is electrical or on the board when most of the time it's a simple mechanical one.

when you light the lock the second diverter arm makes sure that the ball travels down the correct path to the lock. Without the diverter a hard shot will send the ball past the path to the lock all the way around to the upper right flipper again. This makes multi ball extremely hard to achieve as now it is left up to chance, a shot that is just strong enough to make it to the second path but not hard enough to pass it. the first diverter sends the ball down the first path when appropriate, thsi one is not as important, but since they work in tandem its a moot point as you need to fix them anyway.

My diverter did not work correctly when I got mine and multi ball was a rare occurrence, very rare. The spring is very cheap to replace, available at Marcos for less than 2$

are the wires that are supposed to go to the coil completely gone? are they under the playfield? there is if I recall correctly two connectors for this coil, maybe they are trapped between the playfield and the ramp?

Locked open? Then the ball should exclusively be moving down the first lane. The diverters don't move independently, they are both connected to the same arm and open and close at he same time. You're going to want to take it apart and look further. I bet someone at some point rather than fixing the diverter rigged it so the second arm was always out so they could get multiball. Hard to say until you take it apart.

That's odd. Yeah take it apart and look at it.

I didn't have time to lift the playfield but was able to take a quick pic through the coin door

Nice chocolate and cheese avatar btw

Good stuff man! make sure your upper diverter is working properly for easier multiball and maximum fun!

NICE! Excited to see that. I just got the spotlight kit from pinball bulbs to install in mine this weekend.

When you going to OFFICIALLY join this club Willie

Yes, do what willie suggested. On the inside of the cabinet is three screws, loosen those (dont remove) and you can move the shooter rod all around as to where it will strike the ball. It may take quite a few tries to get it where you want it, on my Taxi it took dozens of tries to get it perfect.

also, check the shooter gauge where the ball rests, that is the little metal piece with the window that lets you see the spring tighten, make sure its not bent crazy out of whack.

Nice! Printing some out for mine this week!

NICE!!!!

No

They broke easily and are commonly missing

go back to the old style rubber? I would hate to say start moving that magnet up and down, Heard it can be a real PITA to adjust.

Just saw this amazing apron magnet that soon will be for sale!

My RG is fast becoming a never sell pin

Cliffy installed on mine, works fantastic!!

Nice!!

Really dig the red, white and blue jet inserts!

Got my drop protector today. Really nice, great quality. I am having trouble getting the nuts back on though. The extra layer of plastic has created a challenge, one that I have encountered with plastic protectors before. What did you do Steve1515?

image_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpeg

I will give it a better go later. To be fair I had my four year old in the game room with me, so I couldn't devote more than a few minutes to work on it. Will report back, also have not tried the sling protectors yet.

Ok, had more time to devote to the protectors and I am very happy with them. I did ineed have to cut the post rubber as it did extend a little over the post. I also had washers beneath the plastic, but since I was adding a protector I figured I did not need them so I took them out. I was able to get a grip on the threads with my acorn nuts (it's an atheistic choice I like to make) and feel the plastics are both secure very satisfactorily.

As for the sling protectors I had zero trouble with those and they were a perfect fit. All the protectors are great and are essential in my eyes if you bought the CPR set like I did.

before you go ordering those acorn nuts they are available at most hardware stores.

I can post better pics of the spotlights later, it was a kit i bought off pinbulbs I believe when they were having a sale, you can just get all the components you need from any supplier though. They pretty much light the middle of the playfield, I used pink as its a little more subtle than white, plus I have a lot of pink LEDS in my game. I think it goes with the theme. I will try and remember to take pics when I can.

They work great and look nice too!

I can double check what's in mind tonight, mine works perfect. Adjusting the wire form from the VUK can help things too

cliffy makes a protector for that which helps a lot

as far as your mystery plastic I will take a look when I get home.

Mine is DP and has chrome wire forms too. Unsure how many they made of each

The plastic is tucked under the right wireform, I tried to snap a quick glass on picture that hopefully helps enough, I can remove the glass and take better ones of need be

make sure that diverter is working properly, the spring is a common point of failure. the owner previous to me did not even realize it was broken the entire time he had it. perhaps look at the switches control it as well.

I am going to look for you, I have seriously lagged in doing this due to a crapload of crap happening lately.

Sadly I realize now my old plastics went with the project RG I had about a year ago, sorry dude!! I have no spares

rare. which probably means worth more. Only a handful of games have it. I would say if you want colored ones see if someone would trade before you color them, but of course its your machine and you may do what you like, no judgment here.

Best of luck!!

I would say south or north of $1300 depending on condition, if prototype, etc.

when the magnet catches the ball, is it against the flipper? Off of the flipper? I would think looking at where the upper flipper is at rest and in relation to where the magnet grabs the ball is key.

Diamond plate? How's your playfield?

Fully functioning players pin. Maybe 1000. I paid 1300 for an unshopped diamond plate.

Yeah, now that I think about it, you did come into the rollergames club throwing some shade. I meant they were worth $7000, and they are at least upper middle class beating out pool sharks, road kings, millionaire, Big guns, fire!, jokerz, police force, game show, riverboat gambler, and bugs bunny birthday bash!
