Nice machine!

Hello all!

I'm working on repairing an SF2 machine and the connections of the coin door have been all stripped off
I'm looking for a picture of the inside of the door, where i could see the connectors A10J1/A10P1 and also the location of the A24 board (front door interface).
Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent, thanks for taking the time!
I do have a manual, but it definitely helps a lot to see pictures like this.

Just dropping a cool pic here... an angle of the game you don't see every day

I may need help again with my SF2 wiring... I'm looking for a picture of the diode mounted on the cabinet wall next to the knocker... I would appreciate if it was possible to see its polarity and the colors of the wires soldered to it... I could not find a good reference to it in the manual.

Thanks in advance!

Great pic, thanks! So the diode is apparently used only for the coin meter... no big deal then.

I can see you don't like the sound of your knocker And that you added a lot of leds!

Ok... So I have another newbie question... where is the switch B1 ??? (right wire ramp, optical). I know where the B0 is (top right ramp, optical), but not the B1 and it's always registering as "closed" on my machine.
Thanks!

isn't this one A1 ?
I still cannot find B1 in the manual diagram! weird...

Anyway I'm about to start a full shop job (as you can see below, my pin needs it!), so I will disassemble most of what's on top of the playfield... I will find this switch And will let you know.

Thanks! The little I did so far gave me confidence the playfield will clean up very well. I does not look good today, but it's just dirt and underneath it's in very good shape.

The only thing I'm not too sure about are the metal ramp flaps... They're a bit rusty but I never removed/put back rivets like this... Any advice?

Clean up day!
I guess it's enough tear down to do a good cleaning job...

And...... I stopped trying removing posts after breaking two
beginner's mistake! (and f*&#$% loctite!)

I found 3 nails like the one in the picture below... Should I get rid of them?

Thanks latenite... I thought they were added at some point. It's almost the only pieces that are rusty on the playfied... I'll leave them.

How to disassemble this part (chun li kick flipper) ?? pull hard from the bottom ? unscrew ?
(I want to replace the white plastic bat)

Thanks! I indeed managed to take it off from the playfield... My question (which was not clear) was more about separating the plastic bat from the shoe/shaft.

Hello all!

I have an issue with my car reset... It does not work after the car has been pushed beyond the winner insert. It looks like the coil is not powerful enough to "pull" the little plate (no "click" can be heard). However when it's in an "already reset" state, you can here the plate clicking (when starting up the game or when testing solenoid). Basically when there is no load, the coil has no problem pulling the plate, but when fully loaded it does not work...

I hope I'm clear

Any idea?

I fixed it... Yeah!

So, for anyone with the same type of issue in the future (and maybe it's common knowledge but I did not know about it), here is the solution.

The "car reset" solenoid (small orange one under the sub-playfield assembly) is mounted with 2 screws/bolts on its sides. The position of the solenoid can be finely adjusted if these 2 screws are loosened. I managed to put the solenoid closer to the little metal plate. It has to be close to it, but it should not touch it... and it worked! When it's close to the plate, the amount of energy needed to pull it is smaller. "Car reset" is now working every time.

Finally 100% working and clean... I'm quite happy with the result!
and thanks Malenko and stpcore for an awesome alternate translite...
next step... pin2dmd!

Do not add lube! Look at my post a bit earlier (#1159), it may be due to the small reset solenoid not being strong enough to pull the metal plate. By adjusting its location, you can make it closer to the plate, and it may fix your problem.

I can do it... I'll send you a PM.

Excellent!

With such a new and clear window, you better have a nice looking car under the playfied!

That's what I call a good alt translite

And yes I need new side rails!

wow this car looks awesome. i hope you can easily mod it to make it work in the pin. following!

Please share some pictures of your wrecked car mod! I'm not sure yet what to do with mine.

I love it! Really nice work "damaging" the car.
