Aw man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Sorry about your pup.

Sorry about your friend

Can't imagine that day, but my boy just turned 11.

Bummer man. I've been there. Hang tough. They are truly man's best friend.

I believe these will be available shortly.

I hope so, my plastic under my left ramp sucks. I'm back in the club after a year or so out. Wcs was my first game ever. Sold it long ago and just bought again. I just finished shopping it out. What a ball buster, forgot how fast it was.

Anyone know we're this clear plastic goes?

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Not only is this game somehat of a pain to tear all the way down and shop out, trying to source parts seems to be the biggest pain in the backside. So far I'm over $1500 in parts to get my pin up and looking sharp and I still have parts to buy. Here's a quick pic of what I'm working with.

Use a boat plastic cleaner spray. Let it sit for a minute and then wipe off. My machine was about the same in a lot of places. It was effortless to get it off. I'm almost done. Finished up the pop bumpers recently with new lamp leads etc.

Hello,
I can't find insert decal set. Do you know any good source?

Thanks!

Did you try Marco Specialties?

$1500!! Holy cow. What did you have to replace? When I shopped mine last month I had to replace the ball, ball motor, coin door, a couple of plastics and decals, new LEDs and some assorted parts, have work done on the boards... and it was less than $600.

They have many decals for ramps, but not for inserts - or I can't find in the webshop.
Thanks anyway for hint.

New plastics, LEDs, chrome rails, lock bar, legs, hinges and associated hardware, new cab decal, new back box, new soccer ball, new flipper mechs and coils, new star posts and a few other parts so far.

Hard to blame the man who loves
a challenge.

I am looking for a new soccer ball. Please PM me if you have one you would sell.

Little shop of games has them in Stock I believe.

Any one have a scan of the referees full butt? Id love to get her back side looking proper.

Full butt? Or the 'play in control' area you have pictured?
In either case, send me a PM. I can hook you up.

Pm sent. I cant wait to get her looking great again.

Hot on the left....... Not on the right. Lol Not sure what Bally was thinking leaving her all wrinkled up, even her hands look old.

I'm looking for the part number of this post circled here. Or length/diameter.
I need to replace it since min was rusted and the screw holding the ramp broke off in the threads.

It's one of these:

I couldn't find the right length hex version anywhere so I shoved a round one there. Problem is I cannot remember which one was the right height. Haha.

lol, let me know if you find out. I will measure it, but I have no clue about threads or screw that goes in.

Well that's the part I do know. 8-32 screw goes into it. 10-32 is the bottom part that goes through the playfield.

Thank you, and I'll be damned if the hex post wasn't in the manual. I must've missed it last time. Unfortunately, my local store don't have it in stock so I will have to order from Germany or something.

Great find. Hopefully one of the suppliers has them.

In your case the 2.96" is probably better. http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/02-4765-19

5 bucks...wow.

Hey guys, ran into an odd issue with my WC. Just recently left lane ball drains are occasionally getting stuck between the rubber post and the kickback device. I lifted up the board to try and get a look at the kickback but it looks like it's just one large mechanical piece that appears to be hard to mess with. It looks like maybe it shifted to the right a bit from where it is supposed to sit? Just wondering if anyone else ran into this issue. Balls with decent speed usually drain, but a slow one will get stuck right between the post to the right of that rollover and the plastic casing on the kickback. I'm thinking I might just shave off a little bit of the rubber post rather than try and fix the kickback's positioning.

Anyone considering selling pm me, looking for one to introduce my 3 y.o. to pinball on!

I did a playfield swap on my WCS, and I'm now working through miscellaneous bugs. There's one that has me stumped.

The 7-Switch Opto PCB to the right of the flippers has a connector J3. J3-1 and J3-3 (Gray/Yellow and Black, respectively) branch off a Z-connector and end in a 4-pin IDC connector. The manual says these wires are supposed to connect to J116-2 and J116-3, respectively, on the power driver PCB. J116 is currently connected to the power driver PCB, and it is wired per the manual using the correct wire colours.

I cannot find where to connect these two together. You would think there would be an errant IDC connector laying around in the cabinet somewhere to complete the circuit.

Can anyone help me out?

Check out this massive teardown album user Mattmarr made. Maybe you will find what you need.

Hey guys I think I know the answer for this one, but I'd like s second and third opinion. My goal through optos registers by them selves at times, and some times by vibration (ie in sync with bumpers and vuk action). They also seem to register as they should during game play and in single switch test. In switch test i can't make other switches to register for the goal through to when pressed. I have removed the solder and resoldered both the transmitter and the receiver. (see attached video clip, the first registered switch change is by its own device, then by me breaking the beam and lastly by vibration of the bumper action.

I would believe that either transmitter, receiver or both are intermittent. Or should I look for another csuse?

cheers

Intermittent behavior is almost always exclusively by something loose. Seldom its a failing component.

You have resoldered them. Good. Now try reseating switch matrix connectors on CPU board. Spray them with electro clean and let it dry before. Also inspect the male connector pins on the board also. Try reflowing them with new solder also.

Not just MPU, but the opto board as well.

Been spending some time on this one lately, it's the wife's favorite but I never really gave it any time. Went through it, fixed a bad switch on the kick back lane, leveled and waxed it and I'm kinda surprised how fun it really is.

Making my way through the thread for ideas but does anyone have any quick mods or tips they'd suggest?

A new spinning rubber ball, really give the pinball some spin and looks great.

I'm super happy after hooking it up to a sub-woofer, the music has a good bass and the (extra ball) thunder has a great rumble.

Thanks pinballdork!

I replaced the ball and the motor about 10 years back, and it still looks and works great... but get this... I had wired it up backwards and it has been spinning the wrong way all this time!!

Based on what I've seen so far, a rerubber with Cliffy posts and LED conversion is happening. It already has a Pinball Pro in it IIRC and yeah, great sound.

Anyone have any leads on a new batch of rubber soccer balls? I know they pop up from time to time. Thanks!

I recently played a game with that same issue.

Honestly, it made the game a WHOLE lot harder, with it sending balls QUICKLY down towards the flippers of over the lower playfield; instead of out to the right loop.

When I add this game to my collection, I may actually do that on purpose.

I always thought it changed directions. I know mine will fling balls down to the flippers sometimes. I guess i need to check mine. So it should rotate clockwise, always?

Goals lit is clockwise.
Multiball is counter-clockwise I believe

Yah, I believe that's right.

You're missing a ball
It's a five ball game
