Just joined the club... my game has cracked ramps but came with both replacements, anything specific I should do or look for while I have the playfield stripped (besides the obvious clean, wax, bulbs etc) as Im putting in the new ramps?
2 months later
I picked up a DH a few months ago and am now ready to shop it. This thread is lengthy so could someone summarize what I should look for and common issues I should address.
I have seen a few comments about the magnet?
The LEDs that came in my game are awful, I will be upgrading those to comets.
I have a new repro set of ramps that came with the game, I was told they were prototypes for the replacements and may need some tweaking to get them to fit.
Im going with a color dmd, is led or lcd better for this title?
Coindork was kind enough to send me a few silhouette targets to replace the broken ones.
What else needs attention on this title?
Thanks
Quoted from Scoot:Congrats on a great pin. The teardown of the playfield is slightly more complex than your average pinball machine. Just take a lot of pics when taking things apart and you should be fine. People talk about the magnet because it is difficult to reach and is often mushroomed or distorted. Pulling the magnet out from the bottom may be hard if it is. Pull out the magnet and file the end flat and reinsert it flush to the playfield. Colordmd is a good upgrade for sure. I have had both the led and lcd in my DH and I ended up going with the LCD. I like the Dotsxl and Hi-Res modes on the LCD. If you want a brighter color screen, go with the LED. Finally, if you take off the wireform that drops the ball into the gun, make sure to pull the wire forms slightly toward the side wall when reinstalling or you will have a lot of balls fall out of the gun when loaded.
Thanks
