Just opened up my game today. Right flipper does nothing. The upper right flipper on the mini playfield works though. I have reset the plug and everything moves smoothly by hand, nothing binding. Solenoid does not fire in test. Not sure what to try next.

Thanks

Also, a real bitch getting the playfield reset in the cabinet. The right hook is on the front edge of the receiver hole and the left hook is on the back edge of the receiver hole. How can I adjust this?

Thanks

So when I flip the connectors on the PCB the right flipper works and the left does not. Does this mean the PCB is bad?

It is a brand new build. I will not be with the machine again until Sunday. I will check these things then.

Thanks Rensh.

I reset both flat cables from the main pcb board to the one with the flippers, no change.

If I hold the flipper button and manual lift the flipper it does stay up until I release the flipper button.

The right flipper button switch does register in switch test.

Serial number is DP-01-00404

I know when I hit the 7 pin it doesn't register. Anyone worked on the bowling alley yet?

Has anyone worked on the bowling alley? I am having problems with pins registering hits, especially when the single pin is moving around. Very solid hits on pins are not registering.

Thanks

That's good info to know. I didn't realize this. Thanks Yelobird.

I asked this question a while ago and didn't get a response. Has anyone worked on the bowling alley? Strikes seem to register pretty well, but solid hits on spare shots or moving pins I would say register under 50%. Would like to try and fix this.

Thanks

I have had a couple balls with very high velocity sneak by the kickback in the left outlane when it is lit and the ball ends. My Dialed In will recognize this and reserve the ball for you. Shouldn't TBL give the ball back to the shooters lane? Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks

I didn't loss a ball, but during a multiball last night I had two balls go missing somewhere under the mini playfield. After I lost the other balls in play, the game just kept playing music, but never went into a ball search. I think it would have just sat like this forever. I couldn't shake them loose, so I turn the game off. Booted it back up and the balls were kicked out of the bowling alley on the mini playfield. Not sure exactly where they were sitting. It appears there is no ball search.

It's possible, but the balls were somewhere hidden under or on top of the mini playfield. I had no idea where they were. I will try and find out if it happens again.

I believe this is software related that DP needs to clean up. I don't think adjusting the angles of optos or the bowler will solve your issue. I could be wrong though.

Does the car have it's own switch or when you strike the car you are activating the two standup targets behind it?

Has anyone come up with a better fitting lockdown bar for this game? Seems to be about 1/4 inch too wide on each side.

The Mod Couple has a mod plug in for Dutch Pinball. You can plug Comet strips into it.

My game has only a handful of plays on it. Right flipper was working fine, now it raises and drops right back down, even if you hold the button. Went to look at the EOS switch and it is nonexistent. What's up with that? Any ideas how to correct this?

Thanks

Thanks Rensh I will try this. I think my serial number is 488.

When I flipped the coil connectors on the board, the problem switched to the left flipper. Is my coil bad?

Thanks

Yes, your scenario is correct. The right flipper worked about 10 games then started doing this. Should I work this through Cointaker?

Thanks for the picture.

I bought an lit apron from someone that sold their game and never installed. Are installation instructions posted somewhere?

Thanks

Thank you Sir!

Anyone else getting feedback or a high pitch buzz from their lit apron?

Thanks

I don't know, but it is. I am getting some feedback from something. I installed exactly per the instructions. I didn't have this buzzing prior to installing the apron.

Will any of these updates make the bowling alley register pin hits more reliably?

Thanks

Could someone please post a picture of how the orange ball return hood is mounted over the left habit trail?

Thanks

That's what I needed.

Thanks

I’m not near my game. Out of town. Can anyone tell me if the lock nuts on the playfield that hold down the slingshot plastics are 6 or 7 mm?

Thanks

Thanks Rens.

Cpr9999’s new Hollywood Star Lanes sign is a perfect match for the bowling alley on the mini playfield and looks awesome! If you have his mod wiring harness already, it installs in about 2 minutes. Just stick it on the roof of the bowling alley, run wire behind the back of the playfield and plug into the mod harness. That’s it. Thanks Jim for another great mod!

eBay in pinball section.

Someone asked to see games with updated hardware. Here is mine powdercoated in a copper color.

No more difficult than any other game. They are attached with double sided tape and a bolt and screw on either ends. I used two plastic scrapers. Basically just start on one end and use the scrapers to breakthrough the tape. Just go slow and steady and work your way across the machine.

I have a bowling pin there. I wasn't have your issue, but it would solve it.

IMG_7950 (resized).JPG

Yes, these are from the key chain. I just used two sided tape. Haven't had one get knocked off yet.

Will the bowling alley be more reliable? Mine is not. Solid hits on pins sometimes don't register. I was told that it was a software issue. Not sure if that is true or not.

Thanks

How do you do this?

How do you do this?

What is Convolex?

For those of us not programming or computer savvy enough is it possible for those that have done this to just provide their whole music folder and we novices could just replace the whole folder? And if so, would anyone one be kind enough to do this? I will say that it seems amazing with the upgraded music!

Thanks

Me as well.

Yes yes yes! I would be forever in your debt.

Anyone else having this issue with the new code. I can't figure out if a certain event is triggering it. It has happened to me 4 times now and I don't play a lot of games on this pin. The flippers go dead for about 5 seconds and the ball drains, but the game doesn't act like the ball has drained. Flippers reactivate and the game starts a ball search and just continues ball searches until I turn the game off and restart it. I haven't seen this brought up before and was wondering if anyone else has seen this or just me.

Thanks

I never had it under the old code, only since I did the latest update.

Thanks for the tip!

I can't think of a more fitting spot to get a ball stuck

Cpr9999 sells them. He’s on the mend right now.
