I’m finally back in the club, I picked up a machine that was reimported from France, operated in the US and then it stopped working so it’s been in storage for a while since then.

it needs a few pieces to get back to being ready for the rapids.

Does anyone here have a complete, good set of mountains & boulders they’d sell?

My left side mountain under the insanity falls, and the two boulder garden area pieces are shot.

Thanks.

I picked up new set of mountains and boulders.

I believe that there is something not quite right with my playfield slides and the action needed to tilt the playfield all the way back to rest against the back box.

I recall that the process of pulling the playfield forward onto its two supports was more smooth on the WH2O we owned five years ago.

The angle used to then move it from its playfield support position and more forward onto the spring loaded catch didn’t seem too steep either. On this one it requires the playfield to be tilted upwards more than 60 degrees and then dragged forward in order to catch the spring loaded arm, followed by a final heave to get it to catch the pivot.

All of the important pieces are present and don’t appear to be bent out of shape.

Does the angle in the attached not-so-great picture match what the rest of you find is required?

Evening edit… I was shown by someone much smarter than me where the two wires go. They are for the Bigfoot head motor.

I am reassembling our machine and have an open (maybe cut?) set of red and white wires off of a 4-pin connector to the upper playfield. The machine hasn’t been played for years, so it’s been a learning process.

Could one of you verify if there is one, or possibly two Bigfoot Body flasher(s) on the upper playfield? The harness for the flasher that mounts underneath the nearby ball guide has one set of red/white stripe and black wires that seems correct.

I cannot see where either a possible second flasher might mount or where the red& white wire pair goes. In the picture it is the red and white pair that is zip-tied to the harness.

This is what the bottom of mine looks like

Any suggestions on where to buy the motor and metal stand-off?

edit…I’ve ordered a replacement 12v dc motor from pinball resource. I’ll be able to continue using the gearbox assembly, so it’s turned out to be a relatively inexpensive repair.

It also appears that the motor is available by itself at action pinball https://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=A-17903

Does anyone here want a used set of French Pricing and Instruction cards? Free!!

No problemo

Seeing that video makes me wonder if my topper bulbs are too dim. Are you using leds?

Yours look very bright so perhaps it’s the camera angle. I recently replaced all 16 with brand new, CEC #194 bulbs.

Shopping for those Eiko bulbs now

I had a couple of translucent yellow stand up targets in the parts bin and I’m considering swapping them in place of the original white ones for Bigfoot Hotfoot.

Any thoughts on whether this look good, better or horrible? Pictures aren’t great and make the area look dark.

If they stay I will add some illumination behind them and I might swap out the yellow post sleeves for blue or white or _?

Here are a couple pics with the targets in and backlit, and now with light blue sleeves. I tapped power from the pop bumper GI. I also swapped out the insert bulbs to a yellow that is different than the raft yellow.

Does anyone have a good condition, used or new repro Bigfoot Bluff or Spine Chiller ramp? I’m ready to replace my busted up ones.

Shoot those look like new decals.

I believe that system 11 machines used a 1.25” bar and that the 1” is standard on wpc machines.

Our playfield has a -SP part number. Overall our playfield is in pretty good condition and it is a reimport from France.

Send me a message if I can assist you with any additional playfield pics.

Not to discourage you, but the Pinball Center ones are really thin and might not survive many ball hits.

After procuring a Pinball Center pair, I ended up buying a full set of the Starship Fantasy ones and they seem a lot more durable. Plus they all match in color.

Have you tried installing a washer(s) between the scoop assembly and the playfield and then tightening down the screws again? Just a small change in eject angle could solve the issue. Perhaps one or two on the player’s side of the scoop?

I’ve taken that post out completely. I like the risk of how the ball will exit the pop bumpers.
