Like one of these you can buy off ebay?

http://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2056088.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xx+files+pin.TRS0&_nkw=x+files+pinball+flyer

Yeah, but that's the thing with ebay... some sellers do not ship to Brazil, and whey they do, the ebay global shipping program costs an arm and a leg...

I'd accept a free hi-res scan thru e-mail as well!

Wondering if anyone has part number for switch behind ball launch button.

I believe it's the same part as any illuminated arcade push button switch. I pulled one off of my multicade to replace my illuminated launch button in my last action hero and it fit perfectly.

I really love this game! I picked one up at a really good price and it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. The buyer had been playing it with no rubbers on the flippers and the ball was getting lost on launch. When I got it home I noticed that it was missing the scoop in the shooter lane so the ball was going up and under the plastics (I made one out of stainless steel). Plus, there were three sets of flipper rubbers in the cab. Hehe! oh and a full bottle of Novus 2 and a bunch of quarters. I guess he never opened up the cab. He had it for sale for $2500 on FB and I caught him when he dropped it down to $1200. He just wanted it gone at that point.

I rebuilt my file cabinet with fiberglass and epoxy, sprayed three coats of clear in the magnet area (I had just a little touchup). I had to heat and push flush a couple of inserts, and added LEDs and cleaned up just the slightest bit of acid leakage and added NVRAM. Oh, and the DMD was gassed out. I put in a new one, which looks awesome!

Super fun game. I've owned a lot of pins and some of the 90's Williams and I don't understand the hate on this game. I've learned not to pay attention to them and count my blessings that there are some great games out there at a value price. It's hard to beat this one.

Welcome! It is a relative hard game if you miss the ramps, but it has plenty of modes, simple but funny animations and the best super pops sound ive ever heard (not necessarily the audio quality but the sound itself )

After playing XF for a while my Time Machine ramps seem much easier to hit and I thought they were tight.

I think my favorite ramps are CFTBL but man if you can hit these ramps clean... like a left, left, right combo where you hit then flush... I have never had a more satisfying feeling in pinball. Definitely a love/hate relationship with this game for me, If I am having one of those days where I can't hit my shots this game will eat me up and I have to walk away, but oh how I love it when the shots are rollin'!

Hey guys just picked up xfiles! It's kind of a work in progress! My question is I don't think my Optus are working! They are lighting up in front of the file cabinet but if I put a ball up to them nothing happens! Also it's ejecting multiple balls into th shooter lane. Is this just an opto problem or board? Thanks for any help!!!!!

Make sure the optos are aligned properly with each other. They move out of position easily.

Thanks I'll give it a try and repost back!

A pic my restorer sent me today...

Trying to make sure every thing is working right! So I have two questions. When does the diverter pop up in the back of the play field and causes it and what triggers the file cabinet to drop a drawer? I guess that's three questions ha ha.
Thanks guys

The diverted pops up unless you are shooting an X shot or in a mode. In those cases, it is down for the orbit.

The filing cabinet takes a certain number of hits to get ready for MB. On the last two hits, it starts dropping down. If you are playing as Mulder, the number of hits is less, and on the start of each new ball, it drops one. Playing as Scully requires more hits, and you don't get any free drops.

I picked up a couple project sega pinball machines last weekend and I can't wait to get the X-files up and running. I have a list of all that I am missing or I know I have to fix. Please let me know if this is a lost cause

X-files
- missing I/O power board
- Missing DMD assy
- Missing lunch ball button
- some rewiring needed under playfield
- some ramp repair needed

Viper night drivin
- Missing DMD assy
- Bad acid damage to the CPU/sound board
- Missing all glow-balls
- rework needed to DMD power board

A ton of cleaning needed on both of these. I want to bring both back to life but wanted to check with you all first.

Thanks in advance

Am I the only one super excited with this new X-Files season?

Any other Mods that people have added to this game?

I need help from anyone. I am looking for the X files shooter button assembly for my cabinet as mine is missing. Please let me know if you have one and how much you would like for it to be shipped to Texas zip 76227

I'm thinking that your first mod should be to add a shooter button.

Those shooter buttons often are missing because people remove it to look for treasure under it (since "X" marks the spot).

Does anyone have a spare sega cpu board lying around you can sell me? Project boards are fine I can rebuild it. Please pm! Thanks

I believe I have an x-files cpu board with a big amount of alcaline damage, I had to buy another for my x-files. So it is probably of no use though...

This thread makes me happy to know I'm not alone in really digging this game!

It’s a fast, brutal and fun game. It is my go to pin for a quick fix.

I started to work in a lot of customizations for "X-Files Pinball" by SEGA. I like to invite to you to my artworks thread. I´m showing screenshots, videos and photos of my customizations for X-Files in page 3:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/restored-and-customized-pinball-artworks-showroom-thread-by-mikonos/page/3

I show a example:

"X-Files Pinball Custom Cards - Instructions" (SEGA) printed in chrome vinyl with gloss protective lamination (photo 1).

I hope you like!

Nice looking instructions!

Have I posted pics of my XFiles repro plastics here before?

Does anyone know where I can get a magnet plate for my X-Files part number 535-8265-01

The metal plate over the magnet that prevents wear? Cliffy sells them. You may have to email him. I’m not sure if they are on his website or not.

Been busy giving my X-Files a face lift over the week or so. I went through the process of giving it a complete overhaul mid 2016, rebuilding all the assemblies, full playfield, clean, etc. For anyone interested, a series of blog posts covering the work done can be found here: http://www.enteryourinitials.com/category/pinball/x-files-sega-1997/

Now it was time to sort out the cabinet. The artwork was really faded and in a number of places had been attacked with black and purple paint brushes. It wasn't horrible, but I wanted it to look better

I went through the process of removing everything from the cabinet so the old artwork could be sanded away.

Spent a bit of time preping the cabinet - fill, sand, repeat until happy

Then applied new decals and reassembled the game.

Beautiful!

ORIGINAL (not a repro) in AWESOME CONDITION - US$ 60 + shipping costs + paypal fees!

Is there really any difference between repro or original?

Can't assure anything, I mean, I've seen a lot of better than original repros, but also a ton of crappy shit...

I have an easy idea for a graphic mod of X-Files Pinball by SEGA.

Could someone tell me about measures (X-Y)?

I show a picture with I need.

Let me know if this is what you needed

What a gorgeous work, C65Mustang!!!

Impossible to to it better!

Thanks os much!!!

A long of the next week I will show this easy graphic mod for alien cabinet.

Best regards

Mikonos

... and?

Hi AlexSMendes!

Week has not end..., but you are right!

Here my mod:

It is a translucent printed graphic to simulate water in the alien's tank. There are 3 colours options and letters:

"X-Files Alien Cab Graphic Mod" by Mikonos.
http://www.zonaarcade.com/fotos/capturas/X-Files%20Alien%20Cab%20Graphic%20Mod%20Display.%20Mikonos.jpg

The idea is to stick this vinyl in back of transparent plastic with water for a prefect fit. I think result will be fantastic and will see alien in two way because water´s line level. If you moded this tank with RGB led, result would be gorgeous!

What is your opinion?

Do you like this idea?

Regads

X-Files Alien Cab Graphic Mod Display. Mikonos.jpg

I like it with the lettering on the side. Now I need one to put in my x-files I am bringing back to life as we speak.

I am not sure which color would work best, with the LED mod in the alien cab I wonder which color would look the best
