Hello! I have loved our Shadow for years but never was the one in charge of any maintenance. I recently moved the machine downstairs (from an unused storage area that was supposed to be a gameroom) after watching YouTube to learn how to make that happen with folding down the backbox and all. Now I'm trying to get up to speed and get a few things working.

I guess I need to start by ordering a rubber ring kit? Sources? I know I can get that on eBay but don't know what is best.

I also have to fix a battery leak issue - was a separate board - not sure if that is standard or not.

I also can't seem to get the lockdown bar back on. The lever seems to be working properly and I know how that works. I just can't push it down the last 1/2 inch or so. So frustrating!!!!

Thanks for any help!!!!!! Does anyone know of someone who does repairs in the Allentown, PA area?

Thanks so much @dudah! Sorry for my late reply. I have had issues using the forum on my phone and didn't get notifications like I thought I would! I got the lockdown bar issue fixed. I didn't have the playfield down all the way! I did have to adjust the screws a bit too. Maybe I need to post in the main area to find some people local to Allentown. I looked into the NVRAM and that might be best. Do you have that on your Shadow? I don't know if I can do that change myself. Does it work well? TS doesn't have an issue with time, does it? I searched here and the NVRAM doesn't track time while the machine isn't on? Just wanted to understand the implications of that.

I am looking at getting the Titan rubbers. I look up parts in the manual and then find what I need instead of a kit, right? Sorry for probably stupid questions. I am new to all of this and trying to get up to speed! Thanks so much!!!

RCA1 Thanks so much for the reply. Somehow the playfield wasn't all the way down! I got it worked out!

Are you saying the small daughter board is something I could replace with the battery holder already on it? I cleaned it with vinegar and baking soda but can't get everything off and some of the metal is rusted.

I decided to try the battery holder after cleaning it and it seems to work fine. I ordered rubber from titan and pinball life as well as some bulbs. I got things working while I wait for that but the battlefield isn't working It is lit, and the ball goes up there, but the part that goes back and forth up there doesn't move. Got this from the test and looked it up in the manual but not sure if next steps.

I put rubber bands in place of the sling while I wait and the ball went inside there lol. Oops. But at least I could mostly play it - it didn't happen again. But then the flipped rubber kept coming off. Glad I ordered a whole set!

I know the picture from the manual tells me what to do as the next step, but I don't know how to do those things, lol.

Wow ZMeny that looks great!

Hello! Thanks for all the help - I got my package from titan today and put on the slings (clear) and flipper rubber and can finally really play! I also got the glass cleaner there and cleaned the pkayfiekd glass really well and it looks awesome! I didn't realize how bad it was!
Battlefield wasn't working but after I did a test it kind of works? Targets on back don't go back up after a game - they don't reset. And the paddle is slow. Is there a good resource for dealing with this stuff?
