Joined the club. Game is in ok shape. Not working. Coil was locked on and blew transistor. Order 4 coils . Order new side rails, lock down bar. Going to touch up and clear palayfield. Ordered all new switches, targets so far.

Got playfield out. Stripped down. Started sanding the crappy clear off that some one brushed on. 6 coils where locked on. Board is already repaired. Waiting for new coils. Looks for plastic set also. Looks like some one printed stickers and put them on the plastics.

Touched up the red and black. I clear coated the playfield. Thinking I may paint all the white also. Last person cleared with a brush and went over the dirt

What would cause roll over to not switch with right flipper. I just switched both flipper assembly’s with WPC . They are way stronger. The switch is making contact when I hit flipper but no light at roll overs. Was working before. Any thoughts?
Quoted from dudah:Looking for a middle right target plastic.
Send me a pic of the plastic I may have it. Just put a CPR set on mine
Quoted from La_Porta:How about the actual wiring to the lane change switch? I've done something as silly as knock off a poorly soldered wire and not noticed it. Has the wiring or switch grounded off to some nearby wire? Anything is possible if you just disassembled and reassembled it. If all that looks fine, try shorting the two connections on the switch with a small piece of wire. If that causes the lane change, then the switch may be bad/dirty contacts.
Thanks I will check that. I soldered them on. Any one have a pic of the wires and resistor so I can see if there on right.

I must of touched a wire to ground or something it I jump the two wires together it still doesn’t change.jist had 2 of the boards redone.
That is how I have it. I must of shorted some thing. When I push right flipper the green lights at the top doesn’t change. In game play the green lights do light it ball goes over the switch. Guess I need a wire diagram. Thanks for the pic.
Quoted from La_Porta:Send me your email address, I’ll send you all the diagrams.
Thanks for the diagrams. Got it fixed. The resistor on one side of switch was not on good. Has any one removed the gate at the top left? I took it off and the game has a nice orbit now. The WPC flipper replacement took care of the weak flippers they are nice and snappy now. Can hit the top lock all the time now.

Quoted from mof:I removed top right, after removing top left for a while. I just wanted to make building up F-I-R-E a bit less common.
-mof
You put them back on?
Quoted from vec-tor:??????? Lane change!
Yes lane change.
Quoted from La_Porta:Anyone have a good source for direct replacement legs for the cabinet? I was going to work on mine, get the rust off, etc...but it looks like they are nickel coated or something and I think it might be a lot of work. How much would a set of new legs be?
Got mine from pinball life.

Quoted from Masspinballfan:Thanks guys. Will have a buddy check it out soon and I’ll report back on the progress.
I was having weak flipper. Up did the WPC flipper update now I can hit top lock with no problem.
