Quoted from GRUMPY:These are not warming resistors, they are voltage dropping resistors. These need to be installed to complete the flasher circuit.
Maybe to upgrade to LEDs? I thought I read something like that was recommended at some point.
Quoted from scarybeard:Progress. I used clear for some of the rails because I could not fit them all on a 12x12” blue. But I kinda like the mix of plastics. I’ll have to see what it looks like on the machine tomorrow.
That looks amazing!
Quoted from Drickey86:I recently saw that pinball center has the space station repro speaker/display pannels but will not ship here to usa anymore :/ any one know a way around this?
Search the forum and you'll find a thread on mail forwarding. I just used the mail forwarder everyone talked about and it worked out great.
Quoted from Kallek:3. Bottom jet bumper sometimes gets stuck in its lower mode.
4. Single drop target is somewhat slow
#3 Rebuild your jet bumper. It's not that hard, just follow vid's guide to rebuilding pop bumpers. Could possibly be a very dirty coil sleeve, or another broken part. The parts are cheap.
#4 Take apart and clean the drop target assembly. The spring could also be bad. Be careful with the springs, they are easy to destroy if you don't have one of those spring-grabbing tools.
Quoted from ajfclark:Swapped out my #89s for LED flashers and now the 3C, 4C, 6C and 7C flashers flash when the flippers flip. Has anyone else dealt with this? I found a fix cutting diodes off the Aux driver board and added them directly to the relevant coils here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/adding-led-flashers-to-system-11-games
Anyone else dealt with this? Better options?
If it’s like my system 11A Pinbot, just cut the ground wires from the flasher warming boards. Much easier and IMO easier to reverse for the next owner.
Quoted from Zablon:I wasn't planning on doing the normal Gi, but the wife says now the normal lights seem too dim. I might just go with 1SMD cold whites. I really like the dramatic change from one to the other.
I use 2SMDs for GI in all my games, just white. I only color match inserts, never GI. I think it makes a massive difference for visibility.
But for the green mode in space station I only use 1SMDs, because it washes the playfield colors out too much for my taste.
