Hey all. I recently picked up a Space shuttle that works, but needs a new top and a good look over. I’m not familiar with the title and any known issues, priorities to check, test or change. Other than cosmetic work and one pop not working, the only glaring thing I’ve seen is the slam tilt was disconnected. Does that matter? Otherwise I’ll replace. Thanks for helping me bring this to life. I’m about to start the hardtop sanding soon!

Thanks! My wife works for Nasa so let’s just say it’s probably not leaving

Hi everyone. Need hopefully some small help if anyone is willing to look under the hood at their space shuttle. I’m going through a hardtop swap, which I’ll post pics by end of week for those interested but found an oddity. On the left side sling there appears to be an extra diode that was broken off. I don’t know if it goes to the joint set of wires or not because there’s not another one that matches the other side. Any chance someone could take a look and tell me if I need to reconnect this? It’s the blue one you’ll see in the picture that’s hanging off. Again this is one of the switches for the left side swing that activates the pop bumper. Thanks ahead of time, I’m sure the brown one needs to stay. Jimmy

I suck at electronics thanks. I should pick a different hobby

Hi everyone- anybody have a good custom instructions card in 4x6 or know where to get one? Tried looking but couldn’t find a good one. Thanks

Can anyone Help out with a pic of the underneath of their flippers while not activated? I did a flipper rebuild and now they consistently blow a fuse after a few minutes. I don’t know if they need to be open or closed And why they keep blowing all the sudden. Thanks

Thanks! So it looks like the front switch is closed while the back open while not engaged. Mine were both closed. Maybe it I’ll tinker some more. So close to being nice!

Actually I think my fuse was wrong. I had a five amp 250 V in there but in the back box it shows a 2.5 Slow blow for the F2 fuse on the flipper board. Can anyone verify that for me? Really appreciate it.

Hey all. Just got done with my hardtop re-store. I’m sure you can tell the before and after Note I installed the clear ramp if anyone wants to know what it looks like and put a NASA label underneath. I also put an red LED strip under the back of the space shuttle and opened it up so when multi ball hits it flashes the back of the shuttle with it. Huge thanks to all the pinside help and special shout-out to Dino @dzorbas! Much fun.
Jimmy

Thanks all. Im pleased w it and do like the clear. The pop skirts were a nobrainer at a buck a piece I’m designing some new instruction cards. Here’s one? I’ll load if others are interested

Thanks great info- will look if I can find and look forward to seeing how you did the thrusters! Thanks for the close up pics and beautiful machine you have!
