Hey!
I bought a set of speaker lights for my WW and can’t figure which connector I should piggy back in the backbox...
Any advice?
Thanks!

Quoted from northerndude:

Beauty!!!!!
I’m in the middle of my Resto right now, your giving me some ideas
How did you polish the hell out of that?

Sand papers 600-1000-1200, a buffing wheel on white paste...and patience!

100x Times cheaper than chrome but you have to work 100x more! Labor of love

Hey guys! Need your help...
My restoration is almost complete. I plugged the PF on the side of the cab to trouble shoot and tune before the final steps.

I found lots of broken connections (last time I use the dishwasher. Fast is not the right way...take your time. A toothbrush and a good playlist)

Question;
1) any of my under board lights (see pic) are working. I lost à huge 16 pins connector in the dishwasher and I found a single brown/Gray wire that might fit. It Looks line Pin1 of J11 on thé interconnect board. When I touch the wire with pin1 nothing is happening...
Here is a couple pictures.
Thanks
Lou

...maybe just a picture of which bundle of wires the single Brown/gray wire on J11 is coming from (interconnect board).
Thanks!

Btw I sandblasted (good paint stripper will do) the Apron and plunger cover to add a blue Finish on it. Still waiting for the repro decals. I think it will be great!
You got the idea!

Hi guys
Still have one thing bugging me with my latest WW restoration.
By the way, to make you laugh, last Time I asked for help was a problem with my board lights under The PF. All board lights were dead. I runned down a mile of wires.
2 days later I realised that I had forgot to put leds in all the board sockets.
Yep. Im that guy

So now I have another problem left. The xtraball drop target is never coming up once it’s hit. It works fine in service but once it’s shot in a game, the coil never activate de Target.
What are the shots that trig this drop Target?
Thsnks!!

Quoted from yaksplat:

It should always pop back up. Check the switch at the bottom of the assembly. It sounds like it's not registering.

Good call yaksplat!
Green wire was out of the opto board connector!
Thanks!

New problem on my WW.

I reseted every connectors. Any ideas?

#3795 3 years ago
Quoted from Jkaping:

Almost done with my Whirlwind restore but I need to find a new spinner. The spinner in my right orbit is clearly not factory and is causing some issues slowing down the ball etc.
I can’t seem to find any linked part on Marco, and I don’t want to just guess. Can someone point me in the right direction to the accurate spinner? Thanks

Hard to find.
Your best bet is to contact PBR

Huge thanks MrSanRamon for an overlay at great price. That’s why a community exists. Marcospec would have charge me 200$ with shipping.
The guy is a gentleman.
Thanks

Quoted from John_In_WI:

Keep an eye on Marco. They've been offering free shipping on orders over $99 recently. Bought a CPR PF from them.

Good for you. I’m Canadian. No free shipping for us

Does anyone have an extra of this plastic? Any condition is ok as long as it's not broken.
