Fun Park. Real bells.

Quoted from zacaj:I would agree on the repeated recorded sounds but then again isn't that all an EM is, in the end?
Nope. They aren't recorded. They are live.
A properly working chime or bell system should have no trouble keeping up with the score reels. Sometimes it is something as simple as the plunger sticking to the rubber or beer seal it rests on or a bad plunger itself. Freshly rebuilt with all that attended too means the problem is elsewhere. Maybe a switch out of adjustment on the corresponding relay.
Quoted from Otaku:I hear the clicking on a Williams game with chimes and it sounds like bliss.
When I had a Grand Prix, that chime ringing kept on going long after the machine was turned off.
And Williams bells are much louder than Gottliebs. Ask me how I know...
Wait until you get one of those old 50 volt Williams with the bells. Those things can wake the dead.
Quoted from zacaj:Fresh plungers and beer seal. I have a hard time believing the same switch could be out of adjustment on 4+ games. Plus I even get the same effect on my SS Hot Tip. Chime plunger can't keep up
You must be playing too fast then. Otherwise I don't what to tell you. My Williams Grand Prix never had that problem once I went thru it. And we ripped those spinners hard.
Quoted from Otaku:Williams 50 volt use and noted that Friendship 7 was the last machine to use it.
That Williams Coquette I picked up last week I believe was the last 50 volt EM from them. They used 50 volt all the way back to the 40s as best I can tell. The only problem I run across is when somebody has changed coils and not know what they are doing. Sometimes I find Gottlieb coils in them and that is a recipe for disaster as all theirs were 24volt.
Quoted from zacaj:How many spins do you get off one of your spinners?
I never counted. But the Grand Prix and Hokus Pokus spun like crazy and never missed a beat. Bally liked it's 50 volt system too.
I'm down to one EM spinner game now. Fun park. And they don't spin as fast as some of those 70s games, but are very rewarding when you hit them.
