Hi!
I ordered Flipper Fidelity speakers for my Slugfest (Williams/Bally WPC-89 Alpha Numeric).
I can’t figure Out the right way to plug them in as my Slugfest doesn’t have a 1-pin connector or a connector at j505 to remove.
Help would ne greatly appreciated

My restoration is finally over (minus woffer who’s not working...)
Lots of cool features; custom bat, stadium lights, lighted topper and more.
Great game.
Question: how many balls there is in this game?

6 the manual says. I love the stadium spot lights! Looks killer!

Look in the manual. There are settings for when and how often the ramp rises. I know it comes up when the heckler is teasing you and a possible grand slam is at stake.

Can you point me to where you are looking? I know the ramp comes up for the grand slam. It seems to raise at other times during the game but I don't know what is triggering it. Nothing is jumping out at me in the manual...

If anyone has one they are looking to sell in Southeast (I'm in SC but willing to drive) give me a shout. Thanks! Jeff

Pretty sure default is to lift when the bases are loaded. I never steal unless I can't fill the bases.

It raises for the grand slam opportunity for sure. The ramp is raising at other times during the game as well and those are the times I'm trying to follow what triggers it or if it is truly random. Not a huge deal but I've been very curious about this ha.

Any luck with them?

I’m working on my bat assembly, and found this post is worn a lot, it’s causing the bat to get hung up and not swing sometimes, what do you guys recommend I do to remedy this?

Okiedokie, lol, thank you

You should probably consider replacing the bat drive arm as well:

...and it looks like you have a random bolt and nylock fastener where the shoulder bolt and roller should be:

Thank you, I will get all that stuff ordered.

I’m having 2 more issues

This game is a basket case, there were plugs plugged in incorrectly all over the place, it’s taken me all afternoon to trace it all down.

1. The homerun Opto‘s are not working,

Here’s a photo of the opto board wiring. Is it correct?
How do I test to make sure it’s the board, or all three Opto‘s?

2. The right three segments of the DMD are not working, is there a good link for me to follow to do the repair?

Thank you very much, I appreciate the help

The wiring looks correct compared to my 3 opto board, but your wires sure seem mangled. I would use a multimeter and test those wires from end to end to make sure there are no breaks in them. Then you should be able to test the optos in the test menu while putting your finger in between each one.

It looks like someone has done work on that opto board and replaced the transistor chip at some point. It is possible that they messed up some of the traces by the legs of the chip.

If the opto board isn't working, PBL sells a replacement opto board that will work:

Good luck.

Oh, and there really is no easy way to fix a DMD if it is failing, you need to replace it. If you have another pinball with a 128x32 DMD in it, just swap it temporarily to see if the problem goes away. If it does, you need a new DMD, if not, your DMD driver board needs work. DMD driver boards tend to fail from temperature damage in the high voltage section of the board.

Get a ColorDMD display - really makes the machine look 20 years ‘younger’

Ha yes!!!! Only 400$

Thanks everyone, I’ll report back after I get things rolling better

Just joined the club! The kiddos are loving it!
Great trip with some neighbors and fella pinheads!
Fun to meet folks along the way. The seller was awesome and enjoyed sharing stories.

Has anyone swapped out the batteries for the nvram? If so might you have a picture of where it goes?
Thanks!

I have a wire pulled from its connector, from the control panel, can someone please post a photo or description on where it goes?

How do.you all have your leg levelers set? Like a pinball with the back set higher or the same on all four. Mine came with the back legs set higher.

Also having alot of homeruns kick back onto the playfield after hitting the plastic mesh.

Hey guys, just joined the club a week ago, can anyone tell me how much is the curve ball supposed to curve and just what is the screwball supposed to do. Because my curve ball maybe curves ever so slightly sometimes but nothing noticable and the screw ball doesn't appear to do much. The magnet works in test. Thanks

I second this, my magnet works in test as well. However I will throw multiple fastballs, then a screwball, which will be a fastball, then a change up, which will be a screwball. This goes on with almost every pitch. Everything checks out in switch test as well

Dont forget in single player mode all pitches are random no matter what button is pushed.

I'm aware the random pitches in single player, just want to know how the curve ball and screwball are supposed to look, can some on tell me or better yet post a short clip of theirs ?

Ahhhhh, I didn’t know this, I bet it’s in the manual that I haven’t read

3 quick questions:

What angle do you all have the playfield set to?

My home runs hit the plastic net alot and bounce back... and adjustments yall have done?

Anyone upgraded the speakers? If so how and what? I was thinking a set of car speakers.

Thanks!

Mine has a little different problem, hard to get the ball to make it over the fence .... especially straight on.

Link to this oblong linkage part?

I rebuilt my bat mech, it cost about $100, but was totally worth it, we hit the ball out of the park most of the time now

How do you keep it from bouncing out, most of mine hit the plastic mesh and bounce back for a foul ball.

Anyone know if someone has created Pin2DMD color files for Slugfest?

I did the color for ColorDMD, so I’m biased
Here’s a preview

And did a great job I may add!

The NVRAM replace the 6810 chip on the MPU. Unfortunately Williams solders that chip in so it must be professionally removed and replaced with a socket. If you do not have good soldering equipment I recommend sending the board out to a pro. That's what I did.

My friend NVRAM'd my game recently. I'll see if I can get a pic.

Check your tilt, check your ramp. Sounds like a ramp issue

Thank you.

I wanted to light up the field a bit so I added a pinstadium neo light set and love it! Found 33% brightness with warm white works best for me. Still let's all the field lights pop.

So I am fixing up my new (to me) SlugFest and about every other pitch throws out 2 balls. When I test it on Fast, the arm rotates about 1.5 turns which makes every few pitches spit out two balls. It's not allowing two balls in the chamber, it's just spinning enough to pitch twice intermittently. How can I slow down the motor or get the sensor to realize it's spun already? Not sure if it's an opto problem but if it is, how do I test?

Video of problem:

Has anyone had problems with the 3 lights of GI behind the home run fence/Upper deck? I can’t for the life of me figure out why they aren’t working...

If you have a manual it will tell you how to put it in switch test mode and check the optos.

Check the plug for those lights and see if the plug end is melted on the board.

I have loved pitch and bat games since I was very young.

I think they are random, and just being able to hit the ball.

Am I wrong?

Are there any tricks I have been missing out on to get more great shots with these games?

It was amazing how short wiki was with these games.

(I think every game room could use some kind of pitch and bat for awesome variety).
