Yeah not a real great cut metal worker. usually mess that stuff up. Mine has a slight bend in it. I knew it was a long shot, ut figured it was worth asking.

I belive this is the same flap used on other pitch and bats. I belive i saw them for sale on pinball resource.

That is the exact part I'm looking for.

Any suggestions for the optos not working? Anyone have this happen?

I frequently have the magnate effecting all pitches. Tried new balls. Made sure it is on two player so I know what pitch it is.

When mine stopped working, it was because a wire had been pulled loose from the coin door interlock switch. It's in an area that I think can get snagged and pulled by the Z connectors to the control panel when you take the control panel off.

Mine does too.
There is a setting in the game settings that will randomize the pitches regardless of what button you select, even in two players. Make sure that is set correctly.
I'm starting to think that the magnet can come on and effect the pitch if you're constantly throwing the same pitch over and over.

This makes sense. I don’t have an interlock switch. Can you please take a photo of yours?? BTW your photos for the top door helped a LOT!

There's no switch inside of your coin door? Open the coin door, look to the upper left attached to the cabinet. if it's not there, two green wires should be twisted together, or connected to a white connector together.

No switch for sure. There are two green wires (w/red) attached and a white (w/red) wire by itself.

There's a controller under the card tray... Not sure if that controls the opto or not, but mine has a couple of LED's on, I think.
Check connections there, and at the other interconnect/Z connectors inside the cabinet.

Also, go into switch test mode, and see if the opto is always closed. There might be an alignment issue with them.

That's all I have, unfortunately...

Thanks. Yeah I have done test mode etc. I think my missing coin door switch wiring needs to be looked at.

I'm rebuilding my bat, which works decent (although I seem to either pull or go opposite field on most hits). After a cleaning of all the grease (real grease like from a car, the waterproof kind) I could hit home runs.

Either the baseball bat driver arm assembly (thing the bat bolts to) is worn or the bushing/shaft on the entire bracket is worn, maybe both.
The arm obviously isn't available as discussed earlier by others, but i'd still consider replacing the bracket if I knew for sure it would help.
Not really into a $85 experiment though.
Also the bat driver arm assembly has a plate on the bottom that is loose, is that normal? Should I put a tack weld on it?

My bat drive arm (slotted one) and bushing are a friggin disaster so for sure they are getting replaced.

Any input is appreciated.

I don't have manual in front of me right now, it takes 6 balls?
I want to buy a new batch after cleaning all the mechanisms.

Any parts that I should order for the pitching setup?
I haven't looked into it yet, but seems to work fine.

Really just don't want to have to place multiple orders with marcos and lose an extra $10 a clip.

Thanks for the reply bob,
I have it all out and apart.
I need a stronger degreaser than I have at my house to get the parts really clean.

#1 has to replaced, it's bent, twisted and the slot is destroyed.
#2 is good, fits and works properly (I expected this part to be messed up and had it in my cart at marcos, but since removed it from the cart after inspections)
#6 No damage
#11 Needs replacing
#17 Looks to be in pretty good shape.
#13 The spring needs replacing

How #3 fits into #4 is my main worry.
Since #3 isn't available and #4 costs $85.
There is a decent amount of play, more than I like.
I just don't know which part is worse, if not both.

If you look in that pic, the bottom plate has a lot of play, I have to guess it's not supposed to?

I still have the part. It's just damaged from rust and build up.

I’m officially in!

Now... to finish the game room and find it a nice spacious spot

Welcome to the club chosen.

On another note, my buddy stopped by (he owns a marine machine shop) and took the driver arm and frame. He's going to clean up the arm and sleeve the frame for a nice smooth fit.
He seemed to brush it off as if it's 15 minutes worth of work when I was worrying if it was possible or not. He usually straightens prop shafts and propellers for tug boats and small ships etc. so I didn't know if it was too small for him to work on.

While I normally can fix pretty much anything, some things that require absolute precision I shy away from. Especially when it's made out of unobtanium.
As a car guy i'm connected to people than can fix or modify pretty much anything. But I don't like to bother people on things that I know for sure are not profitable. My machine shop friend works on parts that are sometimes 50 grand, the reality is that fixing a part on my pinball machine not only costs the time it takes to do it, but lost time to work on things that are extremely profitable.

Can anyone tell me the voltage that should be at the bat coil. I'm thinking maybe I'm not getting enough voltage at the coil to hit home runs.

The post office just doesn't want me to have a really nice slugfest.
First they lost my overlay for a month and now my marco's package that normally takes two days is showing "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

Which really means they lost it, again...

postal service in the pines. maybe the Jersey Devil has it.

Postal service decided to deliver my parts yesterday, better late than never I guess.

I bought the plunger link, thinking I might as well have all new parts, but I wasted $20, while mine wasn't as pretty it shows zero wear compared to the new one..

However, the slotted arm is 1000% improvement, so is the roller bushing.

My buddy should have the machined arm and chassis today so we will see soon how much difference it makes.

So the chassis is sleeved (I think with bronze, not sure though), machined a hair off of the shaft.
It's silky smooth now.

Everything is clean and bind free.

One issue I had though, is the slot in the one arm wasn't big enough to take the new bushing. In fact it wasn't even big enough to take the old worn one. So I reamed it out a little bit, used the old bushing upside down.
I figure if for some reason it wears and it opens a bit, i'll just swap in the replacement bushing.

Oh, and the extension spring I bought, apparently that is for card dispenser, doh.
I just re-used the old one with a new hook bent into the end.

Smashes home runs so fast sometimes I can't even tell where the ball went.

Have to give everywhere the ball goes a good cleaning, then I will install new balls.

6 balls right? At least that's what I bought.

Guys Marco has the CPO in stock FYI

That’s what I said. I wonder if it is NOS.

I saw a couple weeks back when I was ordering parts from marco for my slugfest.

I chalked it up to supply and demand...

Just bought a SlugFest. My first pitch and bat. A friend has picked it up so I'll be getting it this weekend. Does anyone have a flyer source, spares or a scanner to send me front and back copies? The original not the special edition flyer that's on Ebay I'll let you know how things work out after I have it back home.

Hoping someone out there is familiar with troubleshooting the card dispenser.

My card dispenser is installed and activated within the settings.

It ONLY dispenses cards (5) on the first hit home run......thats it. Nothing happens again until the game is reset. The light only comes on in the card dispenser after that first home run but does not come on when the game is first started.

The button within the card dispenser does nothing before or after that first home run is hit.

I don't see any adjustments or further tests within the software.

Any ideas on this? Any other ways to test it that are straightforward?

Thanks!

you can adjust that in the settings
