Quoted from chuckwurt:Hey guys. I am going to pick this game up in the next couple months. I have only transported early SS games and took their heads off. I assume this can be transported by laying the head down. How do I do that exactly, and what is the best way to secure it once folded down? How do I secure the bell too?
Any other tips for transport?
Once the head is folded down i would wrap a racheting strap around the body and head to make sure the head does not flip up in the air going up or down stairs. As for the bell you don't need to secure it. It does not swing and does not have a swinging rod like a regular bell.

My fire does not have mylar on the part of the ladder that raises but does have it on the bottom half of the ladder where it says rescue shot. The mylar is one big piece that covers most of the playfield.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Go te Fire! Home. It's in amazing shape. All original. Nothing wrong with it at all. Also came with original manuals and some replacement buildings.
One question: the one thing I noticed that might need repairing is the center ladder ramp. Someone put clear tape on the bottom side of it.
Should this have Mylar over it or what?
Quoted from chuckwurt:Not sure if anything even needs to be there. Seems to work fine when I took it off. Not used to the rules yet and when it's supposed to raise, but I think that tape just needed to come off.
I see what you are talking about now. You were right to remove the tape, nothing else needs to be there.

Quoted from BENETNATH:Only things that question me are :
- why are there that much bulbs under the central windows, as they never light up
- is it normal to have a high pitched buzz, reacting to playfield lights, especially during attract ?
I had these same issues when i got my Fire. The majority of the windows actually light up during the coil test not the all lamps test. That had me stumped for awhile after changing all the bulbs.
To get rid of the buzzing noise i removed the sound board then added nylon washers under the board as i was screwing it back down. There is another thread about this approach and it worked for me.
