Saint John, NB
Just testing the waters here… Would anyone be interested in trading their CV (depending on condition) for my Godzilla Premium (low plays, mint, with shaker).
Just curious for now.
Thanks!

I’m very excited to be joining the club soon!
Where is the best place to buy a j pop style shooter rod?
My Cv has a generic Bally Williams black plastic one.
Richard
Quoted from Pinkitten:Congrats! CV is a fun Jpop game. I restored mine and had a blast doing it. What’s the Jpop shooter look like? I have a chrome ball shooter on mine and it’s pretty nice! There are sparkly purple or rainbow colored shooters that would look great too. [quoted image][quoted image]
Yes! The original ball style that came stock.
Quoted from insight75:I didn't know that the standard shooter was not correct. Looks like I need to get a ball style.
Is this game incredibly hard or am I just really bad? Out lanes kill me on this game.
I’m almost sure it is (the round shooter ball) a stock item.
Thanks!
It looks like he also sells one that I believe looks like the stock one that J Pop would have used on his Bally/Williams games.
From what I understand J Pop used this ball style shooter rod in all his games from World Cup Soccer to Star Wars Episode 1 (even tho it would have been much easier for Bally/Williams to use the Launch button on SWE1 like a revenge from Mars had), he wanted this specific part on all his pins.

Mine did. I have them in the closet haha.
Richard
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:My clear guides in the back box for the cannon ball keep coming off.
Any tips?
Thanks!

Solved. None of the plastic posts were pushed thru all the way and therefor no “engaged”.
All good now!
Quoted from ViperTim:I’ve already received pictures of the boards.
They all look good, battery relocation etc all in place.
The white panel for the back glass has a crack that’s glued but it’s no big deal - playfield and cabinet is the most important for me.
I’ve never played one but I’ve been in love for a long time and it’s time to pull the trigger.
With this next to the ToM and in the future a MM would be the holy trinity for me and my father.
Things got heated with many speculators and down payment is paid.
Picking it up next weekend as this weekend is packed.
Congrats!

Quoted from ViperTim:After an 11 hours round trip me and my father joined the Cirqus.
The good:
Apparently it was a clear coated playfield in great condition (probably has a few touch ups under the clear but only one can I can see, looks great!). Not even the seller knew this
New side art.
Good overall condition.
The bad:
Translate got cigarette burns (sigh…).
A little bit dirty inside.
A few broken plastics.
Extra hole in bottom of the cabinet for the subwoofer from Flipper Fidelity.
The sound improvement from the Flipper Fidelity speakers is welcome.
But come on… Don’t make another hole in the cabinet…
It will get the Pin2DMD from my Junk Yard today.
And a good cleaning.
New rubbers is also needed.

The ringmaster assembly often hits the sub speaker when sliding out the playfield (depending on what sub is in there) so some after market kits recommend moving the sub speaker to the left a bit so the playfield slides out easier. Some cut a hole some don’t. I personally wouldn’t cut a new hole as the sound would not be affect much at all, if at all.
I don’t have my sub screwed down (took the nuts off) so I just lift up the speaker and move it to the left every time I lift the playfield. Works as well.
Either way sounds like you have a great sub!
Richard
Quoted from ViperTim:Oh yes it was the transition from the subway to VUK.
But not because of alignment issues.
A zip tie from a wire loom was sticking up into the transition thus blocking the ball! My fault…
Glad you got it fixed!
Quoted from dts:And I’m in! Skeptical on the number of plays, but it looks really new. A few adjustments needed, but the only thing I have to sort out is the backbox game didn’t work when it was in that mode. I’ve wanted one for a long time.

Nice! Looks mint!
Quoted from dts:Batteries were moved to the side and I bet that’s when it reset. Looks more like 100-200 plays to me. Now I need to sort out the solenoid that isn’t firing in the backbox.
Hopefully a easy fix. Is it all hooked up correctly?

My ball often comes off the ramp on my CV at this spot.
Is this a common issue?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Richard
Quoted from GPS:What spot is that?

Quoted from noitbe1:Hi all. I noticed the sound in my CV is lacking bass. This is my second CV by the way and both had the same issue so I guess it’s common for all. I wonder if anyone has done anything (other than pinsound or changing the speaker) to have fixed this. A long time ago, someone posted a link of a board resolder change to fix that issue but I can’t recall it.
This may not be the cheapest option. But my CV came with a pin sound board. The board has some EQ knobs as well as a “sub booster” knob it think it is called. I turned up the sub booster and it sounds really really good. Lots of bass from the cabinet sub.

Quoted from mmuglia:Anyone see the scrolls listed in the marketplace? His price started earlier this week at $1200. I messaged him and made a fair offer but was shot down.
They are worth that much!? Crazy. I have a set in my closet. Don’t want to drill into my decals, any other way to attach them?

My cannon in the back glass does not fire when it is supposed to. The connections seem fine. Ideas? Fuse?
Thanks!

Quoted from mmuglia:Check the transistor.
Ok! Sorry, where is that!?
Thanks!
Quoted from bobukcat:Did you measure resistance of the coil at the lugs? For some reason that one is prone to breaking the thin wire that attaches to the lugs.
Hmm. Ok. I’ll try that. What should it read? The lugs are where the coil connects to the 2 wires?
Quoted from safaex:Does it fire at all? I had an issue where it didn't fire when supposed (in the cannon fire mode for example) but sometimes otherwise. Check my post higher up on this page.
Hmm, no it doesn’t fire at all no.

Quoted from Coyote:Curious - Does anyone have a Mirco CV repro playfield? If som can you send me a close-up-ish image of the Juggler Inserts? (1, 2, 3, 'Ready')
I can take a good Pic tonight!
Quoted from Coyote:Would be fantastically appreciated, thanks.
These images ok?
