Love me some wedgeheads!
Lately I've been addicted to my Atlantis. I thought I'd be over it after the honeymoon stage was over, but it really is a brilliant game. I think I've only ever been able to reach the special once in the 6 months I've owned it. 2001 is no slouch either. Another fantastic game. I love Gottlieb drop target games.
Obligatory cat pic as well. Can't resist 
Quoted from ZNET:My Hit the Deck was purchased new upon release by a local funeral home, designed to "kill time"
I’m curious to know what funeral home it was, and how long they kept it until you acquired it.
Quoted from GSones:One question though, the tilt ends the game (instead of just the ball in play). Is this an operator setting or just the way the game is?
For Gottlieb single players, a tilt ends your game, and it's non adjustable. It's just the way they are.
Quoted from boilerman:not true.
around late 76 or early 77 they had a single pin jones plug that would either end the game or just the ball during a tilt. it is labeled as " tilt in or out "
i will have to dig to find the first game it was used on
Quoted from Mopar:I have only one Replay machine (North Star) set up, and thinking I've never tilted it, thus, hadn't known
Tilt ended the game. On AABs, it's ball in play plus one ball..
Thanks for clarifying, gentlemen! I was not aware of that. All the wedgeheads I've worked on tilt out the game, but that clearly wasn't a large enough sample size to make that assumption.
Quoted from SteamVette:We had all of them going tonight.
I love that chalkboard you have on the wall!
Not really playing, but I grabbed this nice Jacks Open last month. Gentleman I bought it from said that it stopped working as soon as his buddy changed it from 5-ball play to 3-ball play. Boy... If only it were that simple. Game was dead as a door nail when bought. No lights, no start, nothing. I broke my own rule, and tore my hair out cleaning connectors, instead of starting simple and buzzing out fuses and solenoids first...
Actual cause of problem was the pop bumper solenoid switch was shorted shut, and that damn pop bumper was roasted so badly, I'm surprised it didn't catch fire. There had to have been smoke at the very least. Took me 5 minutes to track down the short in the relay under the playfield. Swallowed by pride, and that'll be the last time I break my rule of checking fuses and solenoids first.
Anyway, played a few test games to make sure it all worked well, and now with this horrible weather, I have an excuse to exile myself to the basement to tear it down the playfield and rebuild it with fresh parts.
