The cap under the ramp needs to be a cut-away cap. Aka, just take a cap to a band saw and cut the notch out so it can fit under the ramp. Or, buy the cap that has this portion cut out.

Flipper related issues can be isolated via the flipptronic's board.

Game resets:
"One of the more annoying faults exhibited by WPC machines is the chronic reset problem. The game will restart, often when both flippers are used at the same time. Note that game resets are a power issue. "Slam Tilts" are something completely different (see above).
There are several possible reasons for game resets. Before doing any work on the circuit boards, it is recommended that a number of much easier to fix, and just as probable root causes, be examined.
Possible causes are listed below, in the recommended order of examination. This order is a derived from a combination of "ease of examination" crossed with "probability of root cause". The standard advice dispensed on RGP to change BR2 and C5 is often wrong and unnecessary. If BR2/C5 are changed out and the game no longer resets, some will conclude that, sure enough, BR2/C5 was the problem. What is being missed is that along with replacing those components, at the very least, the connectors on the board are being reseated, the solder on the cap and bridge is being reflowed, and the board ground to the backplane is perhaps better due to torquing the screws better. Any of these changes can improve voltage/current enough to reduce the frequency or eliminate resets."

The ship he posted above is between $24-$35. I bought one new in box for $24 and it lights up.

I hope the movies keep going forever and the TV series next year is even better.

So sad about Anton Yelchin So his car was not in park, he got out of his car to do something and the car rolled and crushed him.

BRENT SPINER If you love him, go watch the new Independence day You get to see "lots" of Mr. Spiner. Just got home from watching. I will have to say, he really tied the movie together. Without him It would have fell apart.

The movie will explain everything... I recommend the film "only" if you like Brent Spiner. If you don't, you may want to just re-watch the first film.

Keep it coming....

Star Trek Premiere is tonight... By me the XD showing is at 10:50pm so prob have to wait till Friday or Sat

Waiting for my wife to txt me back. Trying to convince her to see it tonight. Hard to do on a work night but I cant wait, must watch ASAP!

I don't think you boycotting the theater is going to do anything but just ruin your own theater experience.

My wife and I are first In line for XD right now. My 4k TV is pretty well-endowed as well. But no way capable of a premier.

What do you guys think of the new ship for the new TV series in Jan?
Apparently it was inspired by some concepts in the late 70's

I think the CG looks pretty bad but it is just a teaser. What are your thoughts on the ship design.

Interesting screen, I bet that would be awesome. Are the sides stretched a lot?

Wow, they really upgraded the convention quality. Really wish I went this year and not the previous. I even saw they had ST pinball machines in the lobby. Thanks for the photos, wish I went...

Oh I see, it was in the vender area.

As for creation, I forget the guys name that organizes the convention. In my opinion him alone is capable of destroying the entire thing. I have gone to several Star Trek conventions, LA, SF and Vegas and he is a total dick. One of "many" examples, one of the staff made a mistake on something trivial and he lectured and yelled at him in front of the entire audience. I think his ego is under the impression that the convention is all about him.

I think it was at the Rio when I went as well... Is it always at the RIO?

Documentary: For The Love Of Spock is now available for whoever kickstarted. I watched it last night, it was very well made and enjoyable/sad to watch.

For everyone else it is available the 9th: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/fortheloveofspock/
