Looks Great!

I grabbed a Marv off ebay last week and started a post asking how to do the mod, but no one has responded.... Any insight? I don't want to "wing it" and screw things up.

Thanks, at least thats some input. I will take a look at it and start the hacking when I have time If I screw it up, at least it was cheap..

Just burned the new 4.00 Roms....
Very cool! Went from 2.00 to 4.00...

Luckily I had a pile of 27C040 pulls from junk arcade pcbs, as I thought I did not have any.

Thanks to those involved with the new version!

I was going to go the lazy route (as I have a burner, eraser, and eproms) and buy them online, then said F it and took a shot (never did a patch before)... So easy, erasing the display rom (well Golden Tee chip) took the longest of the job...

Nope, line on diode towards blk wire.. Just checked mine for you. Also, mine was the same way when I got it, flipper would not work right. Replaced coil etc only to find out it was a dirty contact on the flipper leaf switch, two seconds with a file and it was perfect!

Done.. (I miss the UK, can I mail myself to you? ) Also, I meant the right flipper button leaf switch, was that the one you cleaned?

I believe Red

Could be the coil stops are "mushroomed" or broken, replace the coil sleeves too...

And Welcome!

Anyone ever get a ball stuck here? Lol

This has always done this, but I just listened to it....I get static out of right speaker, that goes with the pattern of the pf lights in attract mode.... Solution?

All the issues I had with my game originated from that original PS, game was down for over a year, had local expect repair board issues, died again few months later....Threw a RD PS in, repaired damage, no problems since....But zero change in static

Thanks, Definitely not buying that Mantis thing....Cliffy it is

The original power supplies cause more problems than they are worth, replace it with what has been mentioned or a Rotten Dog. I had soooo many issues, game was down for over a year, had it professionally repaired, lasted six months... Ditched the original PS, no problems since..

Finally bought and just installed my hole protector from overseas, looks 1000% better than my chewed up scoop hole...I also like the design better than the other options.

Do you happen to have an installed pic on a TFTC?

Let me know how much, noticed mine is "custom"...could use a replacement

Thank You Sir, looks much better! Didn't even notice I had 1/3 red plastic remaining until this was created.

Has anyone done the modifications to get a Color DMD LCD to fit? Is it worth it instead of just using an LED display?

Yea, that was my plan...but I'm picking up a used newer LCD...so, I'm thinking get out the Dremel...just wanted to see if anyone here did it already.

Just installed a ColorDMD LCD, came with a WPC power cable so I made a custom one that plugged into that, then into unused plug near coindoor.

Not too bad of a custom install to fit the LCD.

Did the ends fall off? Mine did when I installed my ColorDMD...I just trimmed the frayed part and resoldered and they were just like new.

Was just watching my 3D printer doing its thing then looked at my TFTC as I was walking by, someone smarter than I must be able to just print the handle and head part easily, no?

I just escaped a 4 hour meal with my 5yr old and tried to get a pic for you. I couldn't even find a solid red wire anywhere near that area. I also have a large plastic standoff instead of that wire loop holder in your pic and additional plugs. My wires were so dirty, it didn't help either. The wire going to my kickout coil under the apron could be solid red, but its nearly black with soot.

I have an LCD in mine, mild mod....Not hard at all.

It's most likely your power supply, the factory one caused SO many issues on my machine it drove me nuts trying to track them down. I rebuilt it completely but it STILL kept screwing things up (even threw in the towel and transported it to a semi-local repair expert. His repairs failed as well). I ended up guessing it was the ps, and replaced it with a Rottendog. Has been perfectly fine for years since.
