Have a lead in a sweet one with new cpu at $800

Thoughts on price? Is the game worth it?

Can someone tell me if road kings has a backbox Hinge to fold down backbox for transport or does head need removing?

#284 2 years ago

I’m in! Fun pin so far. That center shot is tight!
Super nice example I found. Thinking it may not have been routed.

Quoted from DanMarino:

Blackbeard, that's a nice looking Road Kings and your lineup of pinball machines is excellent. Taxi and PinBot are on my wish list!

Love taxi and pinbot. My absolute favorite pins made.

Guys, upon startup, does your RK make any "clicking" noises? Almost sounds like a relay clicking twice.

#292 2 years ago
Quoted from Breaking_Dad:

Not the knocker...?...This game will sound the knocker a few times upon startup if a switch hasn't been hit in x amount of games....it’s usually the switch under the lift-ramp.........Joey

Nope. It sounds more like a relay clicking twice.

Quoted from Eric96:

Looking for help on the right ramp lift solenoid is not lifting the ramp and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do. Can anyone help this is for road kings. And my n in kings won't light

Does that specific coil fire in test mode?

Also, be specific: is it firing, but can't lift ramp because the metal hinge parts on the side of it are bound up?

Quoted from sullivcd40:

My right ramp entry switch is not registering and I can't find a replacement part for sale. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

You talking the first switch located on the right side of the ramp? I get issues w that one too. I just rebent the arm a little and seems to be fine.

Is it registering in test mode at all? Even when pressed in a little more w finger?

#318 1 year ago
Quoted from sullivcd40:

Yeah it was that one but I tracked down a loose wire under the playfield and got it back in working order. What about the switch under the ramp? I get that one to register in switch test but it's not reliable in game play. I don't think the ball always hits it with enough force to push it high enough to register. I was thinking maybe bending it in the middle a bit?

I’d bend it a little. Use a switch adjuster tool if ya got one.

Guys what leds did you use for gi in pf?

I usually like cool white to light things up good but maybe sunlights here, to keep that incandescent look a little?

#320 1 year ago

Mid shop. Ordered parts and both new ramps from Ramp o matic. Thanks @jodyg
I’ll post pics later installed.
Also did touch up and mylar over the wear spots. Came out decently.

All done.

Installed Ramp o Matics gorgeous clear ramps. Easy to swap switches. No soldering or riveting. Both fit great and honestly, they make the game look SO much clearer and crisp.
Better light in the back cause of the clear ramp now. The pf looks more even.

Tell me how sick that pf looks!!

Did comet sunlights for gi. Like em. Some leds here and there. Love this pin.

You can also see the cool artwork that was blocked by the old black ramp.

Quoted from TAVsPlace:

I second the clear back ramp, I did the same and it’s so much better.

It really changes the pf. Looks amazing and so so much better.

Thank you...........Joey

Good price on a killer pin. Simple but an amazing shooter. Clear ramp on back turns the aesthetics into a masterpiece!

Glwts!

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

JOEY!!!! My Road Kings/T2 brother!!!! I am about to get another RK, and now you are leaving the club?? Haha!

Get new ramps for it. Check out how my RK came out with new ramps (clear one in back) a few posts up. TOTALLY makes this thing looks ridiculously cooler.

I’m on the fence to get the clear ramp set …

Check out my pics on this thread of them. They really make the pf look killer.

Quoted from Shaddycat:

I just bought one of these, and it came with that clear ramp mod for the back. But this one didn't come with rivets pre-installed! How frustrating. And it isn't worth the effort of removing the old rivets and installing new ones in the clear ramp, so I guess I will just hold onto this clear ramp forever. Unless somebody wants it?

It’s simple to remove the rivets and swap them over. I learned how thru this website and it was simple.

The back clear ramp completely changes this game. I suggest learning how to rivet and swapping it.

Quoted from BMGfan:

Whelp it's my turn to fight the Road Kings!
I pulled one out a guys basement yesterday evening. It was a gift from his son and he hasn't pulled the glass in the 20 years he's owned it.
It looks filthy, but it seems like it all works so far. I'm going to start stripping it down this weekend!

Congrats. RK is such a killer game. The shots are fantastic. If you wanna make this pf really come to life, add the clear ramp. All the lighting that is blocked by that hideous black one will now shine thru. IMO that ramp is a must have for this game. Its THAT kick ass.

If it's now starting to refuse a game, my guess is the game isn't seeing all the balls.

I'd go thru trough switches in test. Also check start button, but i doubt thats it. Never know.

It's something simple if you were able to play earlier. Did you pop pf up? Sometimes doing so pulls on the wiring, jarring connectors in the backbox. Reseat appropriate ones.

If just part of your GI is out, it's usually a relay under pf. Jiggle the connectors gently that run to these relays while the game is on to see if gi flickers. Good way to trouble shoot them. just be careful w pin on. Also check whiteboard to see if theres a relay there too.
