OK thanks for the suggestion.

Also...I noticed another issue and was hoping someone can snap a picture for me.

When I hit the Ken / Ryu circular target, the fireworks sound would go off and the ball would travel down the subway to the Balrog / bison upkicker. But it would just sit there and the fireworks sound would continue. The ball search would begin and kick the ball back into the playfield after a few seconds.

I lifted the playfield and noticed a wire not connected to upkicker assembly. (Not the coil as it worked fine during the ball search)

So im not sure where the unconnected wire needs to be soldered so I'm hoping someone could snap a pic for me.

It would be appreciated

Just think of the children!! Lol

Here's a pic to help explain what I mean....

Here you go. It goes on the the outermost lug with the other blue/yellow/yellow.

latenite04 to the rescue. Thank you so much!

Problem(s) solved!

Turns out some nasty soot and metal dust particles got into the clips connecting to the start button switch. Cleaned them good and blew out any crap from the clips...reconnected and working again!!

Soldered the Balrog/Bison wire back in place and the up kicker switch works now.

Made a post in the tech forum about this but thought it might get more hits over here -
So, picked up a pretty minty Street fighter pin a few months back and have been living with a few issues that I'd like to get sorted and would appreciate some help. This is my only experience with a Gottlieb, all my current and previous pins are williams, and golly there's some strange stuff with Gottlieb.

First off and probably most annoying is the weak VUKs on both sides, though the left is worse than the right. I found this old topic, https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/street-fighter-2-weak-upkickers, and have investigated the reccomendations of that thread and am thinking the filter board is likley aslo the culprit on my game. Anything else to check before ordering the board?

The other issues that have me stumped are:
-The car crunch reset. Intermittently either does not work or only partially resets the car, other times it works fine.
-Intermittently have to flip after draining to trigger end of ball/next ball. Doesn't do it all the time, but intermittently will have to hit either flipper button after draining to end the ball. I can't seem to detect any pattern as to when this will or won't happen.
-The left inlane special light is always on, and when the E. Honda light is flashing this light will flash as well.

There is also cliffys installed and the one for the left VUK hole is lifting, what would be the best way to get this back flush

Hi guys
I think I have the wrong shooter rod in my SF2, can someone take a pic of what the correct shooter rod looks like?
Cheers

Given that both VUKs are acting up at once, I wonder if this might not be a power supply issue. Ive seen it on it on WPC games where the high voltage bridge fails, and as a result you only get half the required voltage to the coils and the operate very weakly. I don't have the SF2 manual in front of me, so I can't help with troubleshooting right now.

I fixed the majority of my ramp and VUK issues by replacing the factory driver board with a Rottendog board

ImNotNorm Here's the updated cabinet, also painted the control panel so it's accurate. Should be able to wrap it up tomorrow.

That is so freaking sweet!!!!! Thanks so much.

I'll send you a PM

I've been lucky enough to have a car crunch that hasn't had an issue yet, so I'll defer to the experts on that one but...

Flipping to register a drain likely means to need to adjust the trough switch. Get a switch adjuster tool if you don't have one and just bend the contacts slightly closer. Can likely use a small screw driver and just be careful if you don't want to wait to get the tool.

Left inlane light is an issue with your lamp matrix. Something is causing the board to register (or wires to cross) and have one function off the other. (or over the years one burned out and some idiot wired them together - found that scenario on my paragon... G/O always lit/flashed together). On SF2 specifically though - I had an issue where I'd have a whole column (lamp matrix wise) light up because of the wires at the edge of the playfield pinching when I set it back down into the cabinet... Look for any tight/pinched wires... try to trace from the eHonda/left out lights and see if anything looks out of place. It should be a relatively easy fix - but finding it can be a major PITA.

This what you're looking for?

This looks dope man, well done.

Not to be even more nit picky, but what about a real miniaturized cpo?

Okay mine looks nothing like that, it's a silver one. Is that one the same as the Williams ones from the same era?

I couldn't tell you. Not sure how to distinguish between the two.

ill check my manual after work and see if it lists the part #

Thanks that would be great!

Heres what you need http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/26310

I would say this is what you have which is also listed for street fighter http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/26310-P

The part # in the manual is 26314

http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/26314

marcos is sold out

i would try Steve Young @ pbr resource

http://www.pbresource.com

he doesnt show one listed on the site but there is a chance he could still have them in his warehouse, I would give him a call with the part # handy.

Thanks, I'll try some wire tracing and report back.

Thanks guys
I can't exactly call Steve Young as I live in Australia. I'll keep on the lookout for one thanks

Finally got around to installing the correct coil for the bottom left flipper (#29876). Also replaced the F19 fuse to a 4amp slo-blo to correspond with the #29876 coil. Wow....what a difference!. The Chun-li/Guile shots just launch up the ramps!!

The most amazing mod in pinball (SF2 Bartop) was shipped yesterday!! I can't wait to get it and hope it arrives before YEGPIN so I can get in installed. Thanks again toyotaboy !!

Awesome! I just got my coil in the mail over the weekend. I can't solder though so I haven't changed it yet. This motivates me to give it a go! I hadn't heard a fuse needed changed too.

This is the addendum to the original manual.

You'll see it says to replace the F19 fuse with a 4 amp once you replace the bottom left flipper coil with the updated #29876 coil.

Ooh I think I'm in love

Just got my bartop mod and holy crap...it looks even better in person. Thanks so much @Toyotaboy!!

I am horrible at taking pictures and they do no justice. But this bartop mod is the bees knees. Big thanks to Breaking_Dad for answering my PM about installation.

I have SF2 ready to go for YEGPIN. But I won't be having the mod plugged in and operating for the whole weekend. Most likely I'll plug it in just for the kids tournament.

Thanks for the kind words ImNotNorm

Sooooo, SHARE your installation process/question!

It was just about the screw not being long enough to fully protrude through the bartop mod screw hole.

Minor issue.

But getting it installed on my SF2 above the Balrog/Bison hole was not do-able. There wasn't enough clearance for the glass to slide back on.

Ended up installing it like Breaking_Dad did and the pinball zips right underneath it. I think I prefer it there now that I've played a few games.

interesting, as that is where I installed mine. Although I got the first one he made so there might be some revisions in size. I too had to go to a hardware store to get a longer bolt. I think i posted some install pics earlier in the thread when I got mine. great mod!

Going from the pics alone....mine looks a little bigger. (No pun intended)

No problem Sean...I'm glad you got it sorted...it really is a fantastic mod...for what it's worth...I've accidentally left the mod on for 48hrs straight...no prob....so you should be fine for 8-10 hrs at the show.............Joey

Hey folks, so I've done some more digging on my sf lamp troubles and I was incorrect in thinking it was just one lamp issue. There's clearly a matrix issue. On any given row (except for row 1) the intended lamp will light as well the light in the same column in row 1 as well as the light in column 2, same row as the intended light. For example, light 10 will light as well as light 11 and light 0. When a light in column 2 is selected it lights as intended with no others. So my question is, how do I go about tracking down this issue?

Thanks I'll work my way through this, lots of great info here.

They look nice.....but Cammy isn't in the SF2 Tournament edition.

would love mirror blades

Agree. I think theyd be better with NO characters

Yes!

I have mirror blades in mine looks so much better

Where'd you get the mirror blades?

Yeah I've tried to find them forever but gave up, was told not enough clearance

Any news on the 3D printable car crunch?

beta tester checked fit, hes going to mark up some areas that need to shrink a bit

Thanks, keep me posted as I'm certainly interested in one
