I don't recall the exact setup, but just check the lock hole and press down with your finger, like the ball would. It should register/hear a slight ''click'' If it doesn't, you need to tweak the switch under it so it does.

T2 questions:

1. It's interesting. My official Williams manual lists a few insert lamps as #555 when they are in fact #44. What's the difference in these anyway, besides the #44 being harder to change? They seem to do the exact same thing. Both are capable of turning on and off and lighting similar sized insert.

2. If I want to replace my 3 coin slot lamps with LED's, what bulbs do I use? they look like #44, but the manual lists something completely different, not the standard sizes I'm used to.

3. I ordered some replacement twist wedge-lamp inserts, and although they look identical to the ones in my T2, the don't twist close! They are supposedly the standard Williams twist-wedge's...did T2 use a slightly different model?

Thanks everyone....learning as I go.....

After being disappointed in the lame reproduction skull which I sent back. I won a nos one on Ebay now I just need apron decals and the t1000 mod and I can call it done.

Well not very happy with Bay Area Amusements sent my janky skull back. Paid 44 dollars was refunded 24 it was supposed to be a 15% restocking fee which would of came to 6.60 what a joke.

Beyond that the picture on the website is not the skull you will receive.

Edit: They messed up on the refund

Good luck on the, "done".

Unless there is a color DMD in the future I'm done

I need to finish my mame cab someday

I'm actually started down my newest path. I've posted pics of my topper before. I've always wanted something more, so. I have the parts (servo and switches) picked out. Soon the Endoskeleton will move! Maybe.......

I ordered a red DMD cover from pinbits....I'm gonna install this weekend. I always wanted T2 to have a red display

Im a bit of a pinball newbee and after some advice. I'm having probs with the gun ball lock. I keep hitting the lock but the ball comes back out 50% of the time. There is a small wire gate before the lock that doesn't seem to do anything. Is it supposed to? (See pic) Or is there a other reason?

Wire gate

I've heard Marco's skull looks like the real thing. Can anyone confirm if Marco's HK Ship is good or not? I need a new one....

I need to double check, but I dont think that gate is connected to anything. I think it just holds the ball in. The pop out lock may have a loose cable that needs resoldering if it only comes out sometimes. If you use the controls on the inside of the coin door, you can navigate to solenoid tests. Go through until you hit that specific solenoid (displayed on screen as gun lock, I believe) and see if it is working. Then check the wire connections on the bottom.

I've just been tinkering and i bent that gate a little so that it does hold the ball in but if the ball doesnt sit in the lock hole then it rests against the gate. Then the machine can't find the ball. The only way to sort it is to pull the glass!!
Ive done the solenoid test and no fault. Not sure what to do.

ok, then the unit is functioning properly. If the ball does not go into the lock hole and stay, here are a few things to consider:
- are there any flat spots on the ball? does the same thing happen using other pinballs?
- could adjusting the leg levelers (lower in the back, higher in the front) make a slightly less slanted playfield so that the ball stays in.
- Are there any divots in the playfield around the pop out that the ball is resting in.
- Is the ball the correct size? I think there are more than one size. Easy way to tell is to put the ball in another lock hole and see if it stays.

All good suggestions. I am going with adjusting the leg levelers.

Sorry spfxted we've all been busy with other clubs, Ha,Ha! Just look what you've started.Well, you didn't start the joke clubs, that was started against the anti-clubbers. But, boy are we having fun with them...LOL

Sorry about re-posting the same question: Anybody with one complete set of plastics?
I got a reply from SSBilliards...the only answer i`ve got was "yes, the set is available". And nothing else.
Before i start ordering some separate plastics, i will wait for a "full set" offer...even repros
Thanks in advance for any possible info...

Try Red Onion in Tampa, FL. Old friends that use to print for a tattoo shop I co-owned when I lived in Tampa, I believe his name is Rick, but thats 15 years ago.

Red Onions, listed under "Screen Printing" category, is located at 1804 E 3rd Ave Tampa FL, 33605 and can be reached by (813)248-2615

Tell them Bill from Blue Devil sent you.

Does anyone actually own the full on chrome T2?

The problem is the set up cost, then after that the per-shirt pricing isn't bad. You will be able to send graphics to them and discuss price. single color would probably be the cheapest.
"If you want to live" Ha,Ha!

Just like to say i am a new owner of t2. Game is awsome. So i guess i am member if you guys and girls let me. What do i got to do buy a round of beer or something.

T2 Chrome edition here.

Let's see some pics!

It`s under restoration ( see previous posts )...if you want to see some parts for upgrade, i will post the pics...

I just install the final chrome upgrades...T2 lane guides. I also did the red DMD upgrade...Looks awesome. The powder coated rails come tomorrow.

Soon this week we'll have the 3rd T2 Club give away....a set of powder coated Williams legs...winner pays shipping

Boy. That red dmd cover looks great. Is it that cool in real life?

Flipper's Amusements near the Outer Banks in NC had a pinball tourney last weekend. The winner won a T2 machine. I was unable to make the drive down there, but I saw the below image of their tournament shirts. I placed an order via phone to have one shipped to me.

I'll be posting a youtube later today of a game I just played on my T2. Just got a new dmd for it, first game was 300 million, a bad game for me lol

Here is the video I took today of me playing my T2
Had a hard time getting the Supa Jackpot...Had a few good shots, one from the left lock random awards was a hurry up and hit the shot right from the eject point.

Cool. I like the blue flippers, was thinking about that one. I've replaced all the white/clear inserts bulbs with blue LED's. Looks much better now, especially around the target indicators under the ship. Next up, blue LED flashers. Thinking about replacing the pop bumpers with blue too.
