Quoted from Bublehead:
Found a topper for my Central Park...

That’s awesome. I recently picked up a project Central Park. It’s going to be my first ground up restoration. I just got a new coin door and pinball pimp stencils in yesterday. Fingers crossed everything goes well.
Thanks. I’m sure I will be asking you some questions. I’m in pretty good shape right now mechanically. There wasn’t much wrong with it. It’s more cosmetics. The Playfield and backglass are nice. However the cabinet needs a full repaint. Someone had started removing paint to repaint it and did an awful job. The coin door is being swapped out because I have one in nice shape, new backdoor because it was missing, new legs, playfield plastics and rubber are being replaced as well but nothing terrible. The hard part is disassembling for paint.
I am working on a simple 8 bit micro controller that takes power from gi, and senses voltage on the knocker coil and fires his driver for power on, and a solenoid to engage the squawk cam and then keep his driver energized to run for enough time to finish his bug eyed teeth baring show and clap his cymbals a few times. Or the other though was to make him clap once with each 100 bell ring so he syncs with the backglass, and energize his bug eyes for specials. Either way I need two channels of drivers, a solenoid to make him clap and another to drive the squawk cam. Right now the wife thinks he’s possesed and creepy and wont let me put batteries in him, because she is convinced he will slit our throats in our sleep like Chucky.
If you are able to pull that off I will buy one from you. I like the idea of him going off every 100 points along with the game.
