Finally!!! Gave up my Judge Dredd for a HUO Indy 500 today. Dirty, so it needs some attention.

Black Knight 2k. Minty. Definitely HUO.

simplykind, I see you have an adjustment failure. Did someone pull the batteries? Sure hope there isn't any alkaline damage to the MPU. Congrats on your purchase.

Quoted from Tickerguy:

Picked up an Apollo 13 the other day; it has a few problems and was once on a route (maybe 10+ years ago) but has been sitting in a dude's house for a good long time with no attention of note. Amazingly it had ZERO leakage from the (still mounted!) battery holder despite my suspicion that the guy who owned it never used the key in the coin door! It's getting a NVRAM since it's a socketed chip on these and it's a 30-second job.
Playfield is in good shape and a half-day with it got it mildly cleaned, 3/4 relamped with LEDs and the mechanical issues fixed so it's fully playable. The moon and rocket both work after a bit of attention although someone at Stern needs to be attached to a tree; 4 flashers (2 in the rocket and 2 in the backbox on that channel) is 2 too many on the stock power board transistor and one channel is blown. Waiting on some TIP102s (I was out) to take care of that and bayonet-base LEDs to fix the dissipation issue "for good." This is a game that punishes you *very badly* for missed shots (usually with a SDTM) but it's growing on me rapidly (the kid loves it, including the frustration level it generates.)
It'll get the full strip-down, clean and rebuild flipper treatment soon once I have all the rubber parts I need -- I'm missing too many of them to want to tear it apart twice for a full cleaning, go-through and re-rubber treatment.
I'm a Bally/Williams sort of guy but this isn't a bad table at all...it has exceeded my expectations thus far.
I'm now officially out of room for additional pins unless I invade a second room.... which is kinda likely to happen

Time for you to get a ColorDMD for that A13.

#2507 7 years ago
Quoted from SunMonkeyAZ:

Picked up this guy the other day. The problem is that everyone here was right. I only have room for one pin but somehow I now have two. Pinbot will stay in the garage at least until I clean him up and get it ready before the heat comes but after that I'm gonna need a bigger house.

Things in the house can always be rearranged to fit a second game if you try hard enough. I have them in my 3 bedrooms as well, including the smaller 11x10 bedroom and it also has a bed in there too.

Traded my Freddy for a Taxi project on Tuesday that included everything I need..CPR playfield and backglass, new blue Spin out ramp, both new ramps, plastic set, and topper.taxi_2_(resized).pngtaxi_2_(resized).png20160529_105554_(resized).jpg20160529_105554_(resized).jpg

#2561 7 years ago
Quoted from Jodester:

It is possessed by demons. I removed all the boards and cleaned up the connectors. Put it all back together and nothing. The blanking led stayed lit and no boot. ( 2 flashed from 20) Today I turned it on for shits and giggles and played 10 games on it with no issue. Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction as to how this could happen and how to cure it. Or I could bring in a priest...

Next time, try just unplugging the ribbon cables from the MPU to see if the MPU boots up correctly.

#2567 7 years ago
Quoted from Aladdin:

Brought home a Bally Captain Fantastic Home version. It's practically new, just has some tape on the glass. Doesn't start a game, but the feature lights and flippers work.

Is the wife happy? I hope she is. I enjoy mine still after 5 years.

Finally got this set up today after it being dropped off by a local Pinsider @creyes82. Some insert wear, cabinet looks pretty nice and plays well. May only be temporary as another local collector I know has been wanting one for over 4 years now.

Backbox is GI as well. All included in the hopes of dropping the colors.

With all the projects in my garage, this one fits nicely since it was missing 2 boards. Luckily over the past 5 years, I've been collecting spare boards from Ebay, some work, some don't. Time to get it working and collect some junk!!

Thanks to fish1975tx for helping me pick it up, due to my lack of owning a truck. I hope you are really enjoying that Dr. Who from me. Woohoo!!!

Edit: installed a couple of boards out of another game to test out the game.

4 hours away at 2nd cousin's wedding yesterday, my oldest brother tells me of an older SS pin at an Antique store that he found early that morning. We left the reception a bit early to check it out. It was labeled with '$250 firm' but walked out with it for $50 plus $4.20 in local sales tax.

MPU board has battery corrosion, especially around the ground plane and currently it does not boot. I'm going to start with sanding the corrosion, replace damaged parts, and fixing damaged traces to see if I can revive this board. The front cabinet has some 'water' damage, but I have no doubt I can find another good used donor cabinet. The backglass has very few minor scratches and the playfield is decent for its age.

Let me know.....Thanks Mike

You can also get them from Coos, who I think can recreate the mirroring that bgresto cannot: http://www.coos.net/bingo_e/backglasses.html

A friend has several Zacarria games, and I don't recall any of them have any mirrored backglasses.

Farfalla, Time Machine and Magic Castle have neon behind the backglass artwork, so mirroring would not be useful having in the artwork.

Quoted from gdonovan:

That goes for me as well. Someone showed me the factory manual for one of the newer games, Lord of the Rings perhaps? And stated it took 45 minutes just to go through the rule section!
No thanks, not my style. I find a 5 to 10 minute long game about perfect with 20 minutes on the outside my limit. If it goes that long I start making the game rules progressively harder.
In other news since I have to be manager on duty today... work printer goes "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Nice pickup. I see though that you put WPC legs onto the DE Star Trek. Sorry, just my OCD nocticed that.

Quoted from Liftserv:

Great pick up, did you make those handles?

Quoted from Coindork:

I would also be interested in acquiring a set of said handles.

Quoted from Pinkitten:

Seriously, I would love a pair of those too.

A local collector made these "pin moving handles" for me after I had repaired his TAF and TZ for reset issues. He doesn't seem interested in making more really since me had cut and welded every piece himself.

Quoted from cottonm4:

I think you could take a pair of old legs to the weld shop and have a pair made up. Those look real handy.

I mentioned to him that I have some older legs he can cut up to see if it speeds up his process. Maybe something will come out of that.

#18432 3 years ago

That is about what I was hoping my local guy was going to make. I am still happy with what I have.

Yes, local collector, husband/wife, had installed one on 2 Flash Gordon's, their Frontier and a High Speed so far. They look great. Looks factory fresh after being done.

Here's a shot of the battery area in the Hs2 I recently acquired. Newer batteries also.

Looks like you have previous battery damage from before the newer batteries were installed. I can see green stuff growing on some of the resistors, white corrosion on the bottom right battery contact, U16 and U20 have some damaged pins, and a chance there is some on your pins of J212.

Originally bought this last couple days of Dec 2018. My friend picked it up and over the next year had shopped it out when he had a chance and fixed some issues on the playfield. It had a very badly battery damaged MPU board but I happened to find a much lesser damaged board that I had repaired. From there, I brought I home for a couple weeks to repair a couple of issues that developed a week before I brought it home.

From my house, it went to the Houston Arcade Expo in Nov 2021. It played as good as one could have hoped for such a long weekend of play.

After the show ended, a local Pinside friend traded back a game he borrowed and ended up taking to the show and took Fire home with him. Nice to be able to temporary swaps now and then.

Now time to do a few things and enjoy this game.

Quoted from GregCon:

Those handles were PinballManiac's idea that I made. They are not made from legs that are cut up....they are made of chome-moly tubing welded to steel angle. I made a batch of them but they've all been sold. You can make 'cheap' version pretty easily....but if they break and you drop a game....

These are just awesome. I would not had bought an SUV if you did not make these for me. It is the only way I can get leverage on the front of a game to get it over the folded back seats.
