Hey Ed,
I ordered one but haven't gotten around to installing. Is it easy enough? Any tips?

The more I play this game the better it gets. Took me a while to understand the rules but now I love playing it. Wish the ball wouldn't fly around all the time and hit things, but other than that such a good BFYB machine.

I installed LED's in the inserts and a few in the back box and left the rest as incandescents and it looks amazing. I tried adding some LEDS to the top of the play field (ala under the slingshots) and it was too much. Made my eyes hurt. So I compromised and did all of those as incandescents.

Nice job Jack!
Now you just need a DMD glare guard and you would be good to go.

I'm thinking about getting an alt translite. Any thoughts?

We need new plastics! CPR do you hear me?

Who says X-Mas doesn't come early???

Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!

Good luck snyper

Crypt keeper decided to fight back after my daughter and I were installing some LED's in the GI. Game boots but the drop targets are not registering AND the ball is not kicking into the launcher. Anyone know what fuse to check, if it is indeed a fuse that I shorted while changing bulbs?

NPO,
I think mines doing the same thing you described on your thread below...

I start a game, and I immediately notice the targets don't "pop back up" into place. Then I see the shooter ball launch assembly and the tombstone VUK start firing - AS IF they are the flashers. The VUKS fire when the flashers should - as if the VUKs are the flasher lights. Same thing happens in the diagnostic test - when the "flasher test" starts, the ball shooter VUK and the tombstone VUK start firing in a sequential manner.

Going to try the fuses. I think it's possessed!!!!!!

Affirmative

Rock it NPO!

It was the fuse. I just bumped your older thread to thank Robert as it was a fuse on the power supply board. But all is good in the Crypt Keeper land again.

Now I just need those new plastics from CPR and I'll be good.

F6 on the Power Supply board

That skull looks pretty cool.

I didn't mind the bulbs above the lamps once they had LEDs in them.

I have never made it to the Crypt Jam

Just ordered!

Please tell!

Thanks 80spit!
I think mirror blades would look great on this machine and SST.

Hey guys. Had a scary moment. I was getting ball stuck and not ejecting in the trough. I found out it was one of the fuses on the PPB. Noticed some slight charring on the board and the fuse clip broke off. So I replaced it with a rottendog board PPB001.

Last night I was playing and the DMD went out. Turned off the machine and rebooted and it came back up. The kids played it for another hour with no issues.

I have a new power supply board DPS004 but haven't installed it yet.

Any thoughts on what this may be? It's scaring me and I'm afraid to play the machine. Should I install the new power supply board as a preventative measure?

Bump-a-roni.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Has been fine ever since. I'm going to check the Ribbon like you said. Funny how you get sidetracked and think the worst when something goes wrong… ACK Panic Mode!

Need to apply my computer skills to troubleshooting pins.

Its for the lamp socket that was identified in your earlier post.

Welcome to the Fang club. This pin rocks.

I noticed the same thing when I installed my Cliffy. Not sure if I am just sucking at the moment or if it is indeed reducing my shots.

Get a multimeter and check. I had all sorts of screwy stuff going on with my TFTC and had to replace my Playfield Power Board with a Rottendog. Since then the problems have gone away.

Are most folks on here using the 4.0 ROM on their games?
I'm curious as to any cons people have come across with this updated code?

Awesome! Just sent you a PayPal

I love the arrows showing the shots on the playfield! Well done. It's hard to read the rules with all the skulls and logos. Maybe tone that down a bit? Also the spiderwebs in the corners are awesome.
