Just joined the club and this is also my first pinball machine. This one has a lot of significance for me. I've been searching for awhile and it's in great condition. Couple of questions.

I'm having one problem where the ball gets stuck on the right side bottom part of play field. Just a wrong size ring or something else causing the problem? I've attached a pic.

I've ordered LED's for this but not flashers. Can anyone tell me a list of what LED flashers they ordered for theirs? I am unsure of what quantity of colors for 906 and 89's.

Is the spinning soccer ball always really noisy, is there a way to make it quieter? I'm sure it is never silent but from my experience noise can sometimes mean things are rubbing together or there is more friction than normal somewhere.

Last question, I've read through this whole thread but wondering if their are any updated suggestions of where to get a new spinning soccer ball from? Mine is rather worn and doesn't seem to have any grip on it.

Thanks!

Moved the ring around a bit and eventually got it so it was enough space for the ball the fit thru. Seemed like it was on right but guess it must have been just a little off. Pin is in really great shape except for some curling around the legs. I'm think a little heat to soften up the vinyl and flatten it out?

Coin door on mine has some wear around the buttons so picked up a new coin door since I will use the old door for something else. Old door is an 09-61000-1 and new door is 61-96017 which should work fine. The connector on the wire harness is smaller on the new one. Anyone know what connector I need so I can re-wire the new door to work? I still need the connector to stay with the old door so I cant just swap them around.

Thanks

This pic is of the area right next to the coin toss on the right side above the flipper There are two green posts and one metal post. The person I got this from has a ring going from one of the green post to the metal post and nothing on the green post since in this case it is now behind the ring. How does everyone elses game look? I am assuming this is wrong and should be ring on metal post and ring around the two green posts.

Do you know what sizes I need for those two rubbers?

Completed a full LED swap of the entire machine. I know there are mixed opinions on this but I changed the flashers to LED and I think it looks much better. Put in one spotlight. Learned a lot taking apart the whole playfield. Haven't decided if I will add led strips under the ball drain and at the top of the playfield. Seems pretty bright already. Also put in a new rubber soccer ball, the old one was pretty dried out and this has made a big difference. Have leg protectors to install and speaker upgrade will be next. Love this game, great for beginners but a lot to learn to keep you interested.

Here is a pic of the playfield. The spot is on the lower left near the left flipper the wire runs down the post in the sling and connects to one of the GI lights. I also color matched the LEDs and kept the same colors such as the 3 yellow in the very back. The flashers under the two ramps and by the two flippers that us the 89 style were a huge pain since there is no bulb to help you twist them in to place they are just flat on top. Had the hold the socket underneath the playfield and use thumb above to try and twist them in. Come to think of it they look totally different than in the pics from the site I ordered from.....

The hardest bulbs to get to are the 5 on the top left you have to remove everything to get to them since it is below all the ramps in that upper corner. Went purple cause all I had left wish I had white and green to highlight the soccer ball image. Now it looks pink.

You are correct the piece runs under the left ramp and up behind the goal

I got the kit from pinball bulbs and it was OK. A little annoying that it was overly purple and missing a couple when you are expecting a few extras. I ordered some extra warm and cool white, some yellow and flasher bulbs. Look at your manual to see what type and how many you need of each and color match them up would be my suggestion or spend more money for convenience and get a kit but expect to order extras.

My replay is set a 1,400,000. For some reason when I make that score and my current ball ends it shows replay on the DMD and then the game just ends. Do I have a setting wrong or am I misunderstanding something?

My replacement soccer ball from Marco seems fine. No hole in top but easily made a hole lol. Works much better than the dried out old one.

Thanks Bioboa for the speaker mod and pinballbulbs for making and sending out free of charge. You guys are awesome. Will do the mod soon.

Those are the standard ramps.

Is the right ramp really hard to hit or am i just not very good at this game?

You are talking about the left flipper right? Right flipper the sling seems to be in the way. Im sure i need more practice i think i kind of give up on it most games when i should be trying it more.

I think the doing both trail and coin toss yellow works out well. The black rails and legs give it a nice understated look which helps the yellow pop.

I added a couple spotlights on mine which really helps the middle of the playfield.

With the way the battery holder is designed it is already a seperate piece that can be moved off to the side. It is also very easy to replace with a lithium coin cell like I did mine since u can just disconnect one wire and take the board out to work on. Was good thinking on the designers part.

The plastic trim / channel piece that the bottom of the speaker panel fits into in the backbox, what is that called? I am looking for a new one and am having trouble finding it.

Thank you all

Thats bottom of translite i need bottom of speaker panel.

That would be the part. Knowing the part number i still cant find anyone who sells it though. Not sure why it seems to be hard to find.
