First time posting here so please go easy. Last fall i purchased a TMNT pinball machine off a friend so it was pretty much a steal (buddy also purchased a Xenon from same guy). Some wear and tear on both, turtles was deff in the better shape, they both resided in a bar and then played over the years with dust and dirt in them. Did them way more bad then good but i purchased a DMD from a guy on ebay and of course got one "gassed out" they call it. Well i guess its gassed out, it wasnt working when we first booted it up so we started researching and checking connections when i noticed half of it was working so thats when i read bout gassed out and how they need to warm up so we did and got to play it for bout an hour (this was after we overhauled it, cleaned the whole playfield, replaced all the balls to not damage playfiend). Next day go to turn it on and notta so im pretty sure its fried but is there any way to check the power supply, read bout that being an issue too when i buy a new one i dont wanna mess another one up, they are pricey.
Also ive been hunting the manual and maybe i dont have the patience to go over every part in it but im having a hard time exactly identifying all the bulbs in it because i wanna redo em all in LED. Alot are missing in it, ive been compiling a list on my own going thru the machine so i dont need a detail list but i read something like 60 bulbs are in it?? im pretty sure the major ones are 44/47s but i think there are big ones in the backglass that may flash? Ive read alot of conflicting reports and there is no definite answer, im guessing becuase people like to sell the kits and if you can piece it together yourself then they miss out on more money.
Also when you hit start, the mechanism that kicks the ball out to you works like 5% of the time, just curious how hard that would be to change out and do you replace the whole thing or just part of it?
Thanks so much for reading my garbled mess, not the biggest forum user and i have some playfield pics but none of anything else if anyone needs to see. This community seems very friendly and helpful so I hope i get the same treatment
