@darthfett72. That’s the way. Remove the 2 screws and then force the plastic out. Be gentile so no wires are broken at that moment.

I like the standard ringmaster. Some other like the prototype Is not much different. I don’t remember how many flasher it has inside. But in mine I put blue led flasher so his eyes pop it during play.

RobbyIRL5 Hi. Look you have a switch short that causes the reset. Look at the switches that’s doing the reset. And look at the switch matriX Then follow the switches and test one by one. Good luck.

RobbyIRL5 Look. You first need to identify the bad switches. Then you can unsolder 1 end of diode and whit multimeter (they have a position to check continuity. Is the one that beeps when you touch the 2 leads.) then check switch and diode. It can be either. And think first you should go to menu then test then switch level. There supposed to some active switches. I don’t remember which. But if is hard I’ll send you a pic.

RobbyIRL5

The bigger the diode the more amps can hold. They all same whit the exception of the glass diodes (fast acting diode). Diode is a one way electronic switch. That means power can go back to cpu The reset you’re having is most likely caused for power going back to cpu due to a faulty diode.

anyone who can learn something new everyday is a very smart person. The switch matrix fix that you just learned will help you in the future for many other repairs in many different games.

Switches. You know how to run a test so?

Test switch

You have to run a switch test Test switch is when you open the door and use the 4 buttons dto do it. Do you have any idea how? In there you’ll see the ones are bad or also could be a diode at any switch (is shorted ) or a shorted switch.

hi. Ok before you do anything. First. Did you check for plugs in backbox? Are All snuggled in properly? Try removing them 1 at the time Just remove it for 1/16 of an inch out and then press them properly In. First alway do the easy things. For next time you ask you have to provide all the info at once ( you just got it and bad switches ). So is easier to troubleshooting. Let me know how you made up. Good luck.

MRS need a magnet to get activated . Ball is not magnetic. Maybe the smaller can work. If someone does it please keep me posted. Thank you

I had no idea that works like that. I’ll get done and try. Thank you

Hi. I just want to post this so everyone is aware. I got a set of backbox decals from pinball decals. I installed and also installed another for funhouse that I got I don’t remember where. Decals were good for a month. Then .....

So I emailed him about this problem. His answer was buy another ??? The other decals I installed same day are neat like the first day but this are garbage. Then you have to pay again for another which I’m sure is same(bad) quality. BEWARE IF YOU BUYING SOMETHING THERE.

It looks like because of COVID many want to sell just garbage. Look at playfield in some new pinballs. Then decals. ??? I truly recommend anyone who is looking for decals no to get them there. There is no integrity in doing business whit him.

Same thing here weak adhesive very poor quality and I notice that from day 1. The sticking power was really poor. I te other for funhouse adhesive was way stronger.

old decal removed. (I’m a carpenter). Wood putty sanded to perfection Bad adhesive or old decal

I can see now very clearly. He is a real piece of work Scamming people all over. The decal he sold me was oversized by about 5 inches Which is tot normal. He like to screw peoples whit his products. Whit I think he get the left overs or defective and sells them as “good quality” A real prick

I think we should open a new tread about suppliers who sell bad parts And keep everyone updated about what they do. So no other get scammed again and has to pass by bitter experience.

Hi. I’m a contractor here So. Before the usually cut the wood let it dry then it was proceeded to do anything in the lumber from playwoood(playfield are made from plywood ). To moldings or other parts. Since the wood was already dried most likely it will never bend. Now in this day they cut the wood and it gets processed right away (still moisture in the wood). And it will dry thru the time. New playfields in many new pinball have this problem. Although still playable. If the ipdb playfield you’re getting is flat that’s a score Good luck.

Hi. I email Planetary Pinball (they have the copyright ). They told me they’re in the process to make all of them.

yes it is. Is common to be shown. Is the only way the other end of neon gets powered.

most likely. Lol. It happens more often than you think.

I did when I swapped the playfield. You have to adjust it properly. That’s all

You mean the top of the head or the hole protector?

Is your playfield damage?

There was someone selling a plastic hole protector in different colors. I replaced the playfield in mine for a NOS I got and clear coated about 1/16 of and inch tick But specially in that hole I put some extra. It was here in pinside the Ad about the protector.

neon ligth are incandescent ligth either way will work. Led light must have polarity connected right or it don’t work.

I truly like to buy in pinball life. Really pros in customer service and support and packing shipping and good prices too

Hi. For me worked using an small spacer for the micro switch. Good luck

Hi. The eddy board has an small Phillips screw to adjust sensitivity. Try it first. If not you’ll have to replace it. Normally adjusting it will work again. Good luck

It seem that the transistor which drive the magnet is bad.

Once you remove the batteries the games goes back to zero Batteries holds the memory. Either way nice machine

Is a great machine and your is really neat (even better).

My advice for you. Don’t touch the board if you don’t know electronics. (You can screw up other things in the board ). You need someone whit knowledge about the board or about removing it and send it to repair.

I think is “ secondary solenoid “ Good luck.

I did have something like your problem in mine. It was the connection between the transformer and neon.

Put the game in play and use the switches (all of them). Computer send that cod e when a switch hasn’t been use in I guess 50 plays.

Everyone has a different taste in blades. That all depends the lighting you doing. I put in mirror blades. Original neon has 2 wires. The bottom wire next to sling shoot goes back under neon to the top and connects to a transformer wich is common to go bad. Neon unles glass is broken should be ok. All plastics ramps are available at Starship fantasy. Good luck
