Quoted from blowback1976:Any Viper experts know where the ball trap update gets installed? Can't find any info, and I thought the one I ordered would have instructions. But it does not. Any help would be appreciated.
I am in the same boat. Chas at Stern has no info for the kit. BAA has the kit but where does it go? Does anyone have a picture you can post of it installed? Do some games have it installed already? This game is going to be routed so It made need this kit.
Thanks
Quoted from statictrance:Just joined the club and started the tear down. I think this has to be the biggest PITA tear down I've done yet - and it's dirty AF so it needs the full teardown.
Two quick questions
1 - Anyone have a lead on cabinet decals? This one was held in a business for the better part of 20 years. Somehow the PF and boards are all in dirty but great while the cabinet is awful and has a ton of paint flaking and fade.
2 - anyone have a link to the manual? I see IPDB only has a 'sample game manual'. The game tests well enough, but I wasn't able to fully play it because the rubbers were completely toasted. Given what a pain this teardown is - I want to make sure I check all the switches/etc now while it's apart. (Also - none of the three blacklights test on, so I'll need to dig in there)
Also - thanks to PoMC for posting pics of his - I didn't know Titan had glow in the darks and can order them just in time for completing the tear down.
I did a complete teardown and shop job on this game and it was a PITA. 11 hours total. Check the Black light starters located on the floor of the cabinet. Change all three. they are cheap and should help you trouble shoot the black lights. I too went with the glow in the dark rubber rings and posts. a must for this game. I stayed with regular bulbs except put some LEDs under some of the inserts like the ball lock lights. I got new Glow Balls. Magic eraser keeps them clean. Good luck.
Quoted from statictrance:Any chance you have a part number for the starters? If they're that cheap, I'd like to order them today. I have a bunch of people coming in on Friday, so I'm trying to get it back up and running by then!
I do not have the starter numbers but you can pull your old one out and see what they say. These are the same starters that are in the head for the regular florescent bulb I believe.
Quoted from statictrance:I knew the originals weren't decal, but hoped maybe someone created something since it's definitely more complex than a stencil/repaint.
I'll take a look at them when I get home. Considering all three are dead, I'm suspecting it's not just the starters. The driver board looks clean, but I haven't looked into the in cab parts yet.
Don't over look the obvious, the bulbs could be dead also.
