Here's mine, working on another one also.

If the gears dont turn you need to free them up with a little lube, just a small amount, if they are free then the switch on the turn table is not adjusted right, for it to turn on the contacts need to be open then to stop it they need to touch but then the turn table has to spin enough to get the contacts to open again for the next time. What usually happens is (and ive done it myself) is when you open up the playfield and slide it out if your not carefull you can clip the switch and bend it just enough so it is no longer adjusted properly. On the middle/bottom left of the playfield is the solenoid to turn the motor on, i think its labeled reveal motor or robot reveal, something like that.

Make sure switch on robot rotisserie is open then push in solinoid and see if it does anything, if the the gears are free it should run, the motor runs off a magnet so theres no windings that will burn out right away if the motor doesnt run.

Do you plug it into the little board? If not as long as its not jumping something out it shouldnt matter unless you have it plugged in, the small board is a reset board in case the mpu locks up the reset board will reboot the mpu basicly the same way as turning the switch off then back on. If the reset board is unplugged and you turn it on and it wont boot up, you probably have a problem elsewhere. You might want to check the power coming into the mpu, should be 5volts. I dont have a pic right now but can upload one later so you can reconect the wire.

Nice game, you better get some ramp protectors on before the ramps get damaged.

The factory coils work fine if eos switches and flippers are set right, if what you have are too strong you will end up breaking ramps or plastics.

They are williams pop bumper parts on top, just buy the whole top, it will screw/line up with the gottlieb bottom.

Pinball resourse

Good work Lorenz on all the info on the backglass models, I wish you had some info on the little guy cause I still cant sleep all the way thru the night not knowing what happened to him but what you did give us helps!

I used a combo of Cointaker and Pinball life with no problems, not sure what problem your having?

Not being a smart ass but maybe you switched wrong one, i have done it more than once?

One of mine was like that, just had to lube all the bushings on the gears, and make it turn with my fingers.

I have a bad transistor on the right ramp of mine.

Nice score! looks like the wireforms are missing and someone added the post below the flipper bats.

Look under flippers.

I dont think so. Some have printed them.

Sorry I dont but I thought I read it somewhere in this thred.

Maybe it was someone who restored one and started a separate thred. Sorry I thought i read it somewhere.

I just cut my own out of some black foam sticky back strip on a roll, shaved it down with a razor blade till it was the right thickness, needs to be thick enough so when you tighten the screws it pushes up on the plastic enough so you can level it with all sides with the playfield.

Are they going to thread in from the bottom? Sure beats having the ball roll over the screws.

Make sure your getting power to the motor first. The Motor is hard to turn buy spinning the gears with your fingers but can be done, if you cant then you might need to give it a bit of lube on the bushings, I had to do it with one of mine.

if it hums its probably still good you just need to free the gear bushings, can you turn it with your finger? my robot was zip tied also, I just cut the zip yies and the tabs hold it in place fine.

I highly doubt the motor is bad, spray them with some penetrating oil and let it sit for a few days the try moving them again, even when there free they are really hard to turn.

Looks like the switch is already closed, you need a little bit of a gap so it closes after you push the flipper button.

I changed a couple to diferent colors just to give it a different effect, also a couple purple ones in the backbox.

Are you sure the switch is not closed making the coil fire to kick the ball out?

It has helped me by cleaning and adjusting the flipper button switches so they have good tension on them, i have 2 Genesis and can make all ramps pretty good, both machines have had full rebuilds on flipper mechs also. Make sure the bats are adjusted right also, they point down slightly compared to williams or newer sterns, I also put a .010 shim under the bat before tightening the set screws so the bats dont bind.

The first pic looks right to me, the second pic they look too thick.

If you weren't so far away i would be interested but im in Michigan

Genesis or excalibur?

Yea I have one also, but would like Excalibur, as i have one Genesis and my brother in law has one also so, could give one up, I like system 80s

They are basicly round stock around 3/8 diameter with a hole thru it and a long screw 10-24 or 10-32.

Start with checking eos condition clean and gaps first then full flipper rebuild

Should be bent up slightly, but the airball problem is because the deflector is bent up too much.
