Guy: I'm hopefully joining the club next weekend I have a quick question.

The gun: is it easy to remove ? I'll need to in order to get it into my gameroom.

Guys!

I'm joining you all this weekend! I'm trading my very nice pinbot plus cash for a nice player Shadow. Will need a good shopout but I"m stoked! I've heard the shopout is pretty simple??

Of course I need to go across the border with pinbot to grab Shadow, so I'm dreading any snafus.

Can't wait to post pics!

Can some of you talk about the process of shopping TS? I plan on doing a full shop soon. It needs it.

I reviewed some YouTube Videos, but I'm wondering how you guys do it. Where to start? Ramps, diverters, etc.

Just looking for insight. I've shopped a few games but just wonderign your thoughts.

Please share

Thanks MMP. From what I can tell, the diverters should come out first.

Can you elaborate a bit on this? What's a grub screw?

So I could probably just order the part number used for the flipper screws then when I shop?

Thanks Philk

The one I'm picking up Saturday needs a good shop.

Guys, does anyone make any sort of protection for the right saucer? The one I'm bringing home is a little scuffed up. I didn't see Cliffys for it..

Thoughts?

Here is a pic of that saucer. Should I be concerned?image-134.jpg

Kinda what I was thinking. I don't want to have to fill it in any.

Thanks. I wonder if that protector would fit.

The ball ejects towards the flippers, correct?

In.
Thanks juandylan. Enjoy my pinbot!

I think it looks killer with the graphic. The font needs to be changed though.

Members: Thinking of redoing the head decals. I'd appreciate your feedback on my plan of attack.

Peel off old decals and sand the sides of the cab. I"ll probably just sand the middle section of each side where the decal was. OR I could sand each side completely, then spray paint gloss black prior to attaching decals.

Also, what kind of wood filler should one use in case I want to build back up any scratches?

Thanks!

It may be a little time before I get to this tata.

I found a website where a guy gives a step by step on how to do it. Looks fairly simple and doesn't require removing the head, etc.. just the bolts that go into the sides of the backbox.

Basically it was pull bolt, remove old decal, sand with palm sander, fill divots if there are any, resand, attach decal.

Wish this "club" would be a little more awake to these posts. Someone here must've done a redecal on the head before!

Hmm. Thanks.

Go into Test mode. Test 18: empty ball test.

This will essentially kick out all balls. Easy way to remove!

pm me a price on that plastic with the skyscraper on it... dead center of your pic. The one that rides along the right side of the playfield

Great Synopsis.

Thank you.

No wet method here.

Did you prime the spot after sanding and before laying the decals on ?

Guys, I have a quick drop target question:

The target that blocks the VUK to the battlefield. When it's down, the ball will sometimes stop in the cutout. In other words, I think that when the target goes down, it goes down TOO far. It needs to be flush with the pf so the ball doesn't get caught.

Is the correct way to adjust this just a matter of that machine screw that points out at the bottom of the assembly? Just a matter of screwing it up a little? How do I get the drop target flush with the pf?

yeah, I'd tend to think check the trough switches. Sounds like the game is not seeing any balls in there (or at least one of the switches isn't), and therefore kicking them outta the sanctum locks.

Guys, I've asked this before months ago, but cannot find the posting:

When the drop target is down for the battlefield entrance, the ball sometimes will sit in the playfield slit for the drop. In other words, the drop target, when down, sits too far into the playfield. Needs to come up just a tad so it's flush with the pf.

How do I adjust this on the mechanism to raise the positioning of drop target when it's down?

Thanks

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to have an idea prior to popping the hood tonight.

I can tonight if no one posts by then.

Youre talking about the entrance to the battlefield drop, correct?

Here are a couple pics. Really dirty. Let me know if you want more as pf is up

So after I was under the pf taking pics, my wall started to act up. I think the issue is whether that bar my finger is on should be down (or not) when the target is up. Can anyone help? Is this pic correct? Should that bar be down hitting the switch when the target is up?! The bar goes down due to gravity, but I'm thinking it shouldn't be. Help. image-362.jpgimage.jpg

Yep. It was switch related. Thanks. Now working

Great. Glad it helped.

These switch arms are always bent up etc.

Exactly.

That switch should only activate when the wall target hits it NOT the metal adjustment bar.

My adjustment bar was activating the switch and this was the issue. Easy fix.

Good luck finding that left diverter bracket. Impossible to track down.

I would take the pieces to a metal shop and see if someone can weld it back together.

Hopefully he can fix it.

I grabbed one of these brackets when I could, just in case mine breaks too.

Really? I've never seen the left assembly bracket. Only the right. Cool if they have it!!

Check the switch under the pf for the wall. Only the red wall itself should trigger that switch NOT the adjustment bar. The adjustment bar shouldn't activate the switch ever.

I hate this issue two days ago. Could be the on you're having. Just the wall should activate the switch.

handsome lookin' pup you got there!

Weird about those drill marks. My shadow has the same type of mark on the cab. Odd.

Yep. Mine too. Seems like bluish green plastic residue inside the drill holes. Really weird.

Sure does!

Looks great.

Did you paint the backbox at all? Repair any scratches etc? Looking to do my wh20 and looking for tips.

Great.

Thanks for sharing.

Glad you're loving it. It's a sweets pin. Let me know when you get to final battle !
