Finally got a chance to play SFII and thought it was a blast!
IF the ball off the plunge didn't drain sdtm. Is this intended? Do you really have to nudge EVERY time you plunge just to keep the ball in play? The other 2 machines were fucked too. Ahh... location pinball. It's what made home collecting the behemoth it is today.

Thank you. I'm a slow learner...oof. Didn't even register with me. But I had a blast playing it.
HE MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW THAT UPPER FLIPPER IS THERE PAUL!

Pickin up mine on Sunday. Pretty stoked!

Oh shit I'm so glad I pm'd you Malenko instead of buying one from RetroRefurbs. I actually hung out with Stpcore at the PL party last year...great guy. Thanks for the hook up and thanks for creating that MUCH nicer translite.
Also...FUCK RETROREFURBS. They will NEVER get my business for doing that.

Gettin pretty excited to pick this up. I actually really like this title. Did I see a colordmd up there for this? Since a lot of this is played on dmd that makes sense. Does it make a night/day difference like most other titles?
Man I'm gettin so pumped for this!

Jesus Criminey Malenko!!
When you originally built this machine for Gottlieb in 93 did you ever envision just how great it could it be one day?

Hey guys, had to sell mine. Didn't want to, needed the $. The guy I sold it to is having a party today, and he did a factory reset. Now he can't get it back in free play. Any ideas? I never messed with the menu buttons at all.
Hopefully this guy will buy an alt translite from stpcore and the pin2dmd from Malenko.
Thanks for any help.

Found this on rgp:
**I set up a webpage detailing how to do this for Street Fighter 2, but
I'm going to paste it here so that all the people with Stargates and
all these other fine pins have it in the archives once and for all.
This and more information is available at:

-----------------------------
I've been asked this so many times by so many people that have found
my
website, that I've decided to write it up here.

Yep, there's a free play option on the Gottlieb System 3s. Don't
dispair,
lots of people have trouble with it... in fact, my Stargate had a tiny
credit button mounted on it because they didn't know how to set the
freeplay!

All you had to do is open up the coin door, and on the left hand side
you
will see a little PCB. There's a slider switch to put the machine into
tournament mode. Put the machine into tournament mode, and a menu will
pop up on the DMD. (if it's already in tournament mode, I think a
quick slide
back and forth on the switch will bring the menu up if it doesn't come
up
automatically when you open the coin door)

What you want to do is set Free Play to YES and set everything else to
Normal. Then just close the coin door. Can't remember if the menu goes
away or not.. if not, just power off and back on and you're good to
go.
The start button should now flash during attract mode.

As you play the machine more, there's a nice feature with that
tournament
mode. You can customize the settings to make it harder or easier in
both
regular mode and tournament mode. Essentially, you can have two
variations of the rule set that you can quickly toggle between. You
lose the
freeplay when you're not in tournament mode, but it's just something
to keep in
mind.

Personally, I have everything set factory but have the match feature
turned off, specials award extra balls, and my extra ball levels are
150mil,
300mil, and 450mil and have the self-adjusting turned off.

Hope this helps someone!

He has put it in tournament mode...no dice. Maybe he didn't restart machine.
Tryin to help this guy out, he's a good dude.

Thanks man!

New coin door with no coin mechs doh.
But thanks for the suggestion Joey my dude.
He's got 2 techs/buddies there helping him now.

Tournament button not working. No response from it. Boggs did get it to work though by setting replay award to 0 points. Now the knocker goes off everytime you hit start.
He is totally interested in the color dmd and alt translite you did Malenko. Where should I direct him to purchase these? Stpcore? Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Now I wanna play SFII though....
