Quoted from Breaking_Dad:
Figured I would ask here first...just looking for a little knowledge before I pop the hood and go in....(first time stand-up target problem)...the middle 3 bank of stand-up's....one of them(right one) kind of flops around when hit (still registers)...so just wondering if something can be tightened to fix this or when this happens is it time to order a new one....Thank You.................Joey

There are 2 screws that hold the target bracket to the bottom of the playfield that can loosen up. Sometimes, in machines this old, the screw holes in the wood playfield can get worn and stripped out preventing the screws from tightening. If the holes are stripped, grab some wooden toothpicks or wooden matches, put some wood glue on the toothpick, stick it in the the stripped hole and break it off. Then screw everything back together.

Also, you can take a shot at tightening the target switch stack to the bracket. Some are riveted together, some are bolted.

Mine like that is broken too. Just be aware that most T2 repro plastics out there at the moment do not have the correct fluorescent red ink. It is a flat red. On this piece, I don't think it will matter as much as the red part is way in the back.

In your opinion. I think it's rather harsh to discredit Joe Gaudets work who did this all for free.

There aren't many who could do it better or did it for free.

Thats the beauty of the Pinsound board... you can use whatever sound clips you want for any event. You can put the original callouts back in and keep all the awesome soundtrack work that Endprodukt put into that mix.

Its just that compared to the high fidelity stereo soundtrack, the original mono, low bitrate callouts will sound like they are coming out of a tin can...

The Pinsound board appears to be crazy expensive but the fidelity and audio tuning options are awesome. You really don't need a speaker upgrade or sub-woofer (although, one still would help with the bass extension). You have total control of the backbox volume, bass and treble and the cabinet speaker volume, bass and treble. Made the stock speakers in my DE SW sound like a high end audio equipment... well... almost.... I do not feel the need to upgrade the speakers at least...

So for those of you willing to spend $150 or more on upgraded speakers, you may want to give the $340 Pinsound board a try first... You will get the benifit of better amps and more tuning options plus, you can (if you want) easily change out parts of the game's soundtrack.

Just curious if many people have broken ir brittle plastic light sockets in the backbox? Is it much of a project to change them out?

Mine came in today too and now sits on my desk. It was a good mail day as I also had a new oem gameboy sp charger arrive along with another package too. The skull is interesting, very soft rubberized plastic I suppose but has some very nice detailing on it.

I will give you credit for the score; it sounds awesome. But, I am not a fan of those call outs. Regardless of his effort, or that he did it for free, I can tell they are not even close to authentic. If they make you happy, then feel free to enjoy them.

David Andrew Brent does a really good impression, but I doubt anyone here would pony up the cash for his work.
