Any thoughts on what a nice Combat should go for? Plastics and playfield look nice. Tempted to join the club...

Anyone know a good substitute for the ball drop spring in Devil Riders? I have the small wireform that guides the ball from the upper playfield to the main playfield but I do not have the spring.

Thanks

I have a devil riders in the final stages of resurrection but ran across a couple issues.

upper playfield flippers do not activate but i think the ramp switches work fine, i can hear them register and the targets are active. Might be a fuse somewhere but haven't had time to investigate yet. Not super worried here, I think I can handle this one.

All the scores are only showing commas except the credit/timer display which seems to work fine. At start up I get a readout of 3 600 001 with the one blinking, is this significant?

Thanks

John

I will double check the displays but they may be trashed. Didn't work in my Farfalla so they may just be bad. Strange that all 4 would be that way. Commas seem to work though...

Relay works fine, the switches to the upper playfield are good but the only the bottom flippers will ever fire. Upper flippers do not fire in test.

Going to drop a quick line here and say that I got the new board from Gianfri and he was very helpful when I had questions. The Devil Riders was a barn find and needed quite a bit of work. Board had pretty severe battery damage and the new board got it up and running.

I think I am to the point where everything is working on the Devil Riders except the upper flippers (and the displays which I am replacing). I keep thinking it must be the relay even though the relay activates when the switch is tripped (either side). The lower flippers never turn off and the upper flippers never turn on. Is there anything else that could fail on the relay or something in particular that I should check?

Thanks

John

Tried it. No difference. Wondering if there wiring on the relay is correct. Can someone check to see if this matches theirs?

As someone who is doing the exact same thing right now I like it. The varied colors on the rainbow are a no brainer I think, they look very sharp. Color matching the inserts also seems to make a lot of sense. I am debating what colors to use behind the backglass and you have given me some food for thought.

Is anyone manufacturing new zaccaria flippers? Follow up, anyone have any NOS that they would like to sell? Would also be interested in lightly used.

Anyone have a driver board or power board for sale compatible with a devil riders?

Gianfri, what are thinking on cost for the driver board?

Thanks

John

Combat for sale. Would consider OBO as well.

Looking for thoughts on this new issue for the Devil Riders. Game plays 100% but no insert lamps work except for the Shoot Again insert which is always on. Lamps used to work. New MPU and driver board. I have swapped power supply boards with a Magic Castle and it has no effect. I should mention that the backglass lights work correctly as well.

I have disconnected the sound to make sure that isn't the culprit.

Fuses are good.

Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks

John

I swapped the cable with the mpu to audio board cable. No difference. Might change the chip or the mpu board next.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Congratulations on the spooky!

Looks great, glad to see you're enjoying it!

I put leds in mine and it looks good. Maybe some occasional ghosting but nothing too crazy. GI in warm white then color match inserts to the shot. Don't have any great pics as I usually only do that wen i am getting ready to sell You can kind of see it in the pic below linked below.

Edit: I will also mention I did the rainbow in multicolor and I think it looks sharp.

I used standard comets and I might be exaggerating the ghosting. It is usually only momentary.

My Devil Riders is working great with the exception of the motor that spins the motorcycle. Has anyone found a replacement? It spins but just barely, seems weak. Thanks.

I actually just put in a new rubber ring. Should probably double check the size.

Thanks for sharing. Great to see how these play, not much footage out there.

It isn't 2 Spooky's but it's a start. Both work and are in really nice shape. I will be putting one of the Magic Castles up for sale in the next few weeks. Feel free to reach out if interested, heading out of town on vacation later this week so I am holding off posting it in the market until I get back.

You can see from my 2 Magic Castles that the one on the right (my original) is much higher. New long levellers all the way out. It plays well, not sure on angle though.

Having an issue with my +5V on my Star God power board. Input power is good, fuses good, rectifier is outputting 15.5V but nothing at Output. Any thoughts on possible issue?

Edit: Thinking it might be a trace issue. Will keep digging.

Devil Riders for Sale. Will get the Magic Castle up soon.

Played Robot at expo and enjoyed it immensely (thank you for bringing it Brenna). If anyone ever thinks of selling one please let me know.

Anyone have a link to the ribbon cables that go from mpu to the sound and driver boards? Thanks.

I honestly think if it is working and in decent cosmetic shape then $1500-$2000 is more reasonable. If it is very nice then maybe more. I like this machine a lot though.

Great collection Doug. Which are your favorites?

Are you going to do the 8 digit displays in blue? I think my Magic Castle needs them

Not until Gianfri made them. He has blue and white options for 7 digit. "Need" was a little strong, I would really like to have them.

What is the availability on the time machine ramp? Anyone have a spare that they would sell?

That is pretty incredible, great job. Farfalla is a lot of fun.

PM sent! Thanks for getting these in!

My insert lights dim and then come back on strong, happens periodically. Also happens when pops start blinking. Power supply issue I suppose?

Looks like my 5V periodically drops to 2.5V and then jumps back. Any thoughts as to the cause?

Everyone has their own opinion on lights but I think Farfalla looks great in LEDs.

Inserts in color as appropriate. GI in warm white. Rainbow colors on the rainbow might be much for some but I think it looks good. I had to use night mode in the phone to get the colors to show better but the image is a little blurry.

I am going to have 5 Zacs and reasonably have room for 3. Which 3 would you pick from this list (no specific order):

1. Clown
2. Magic Castle
3. Farfalla
4. Pool Champion
5. Time Machine

My buddy did get some PTSD from the Clown They all have great shots/features. Magic Castle will not be the one leaving. Should have mentioned that earlier.

Not ready to post a formal wanted ad but still looking for a robot if anyone is thinking of selling. Would trade almost anything (not the JJPs).

Gauging interest to see if anyone wants to trade their Robot for a very nice Farfalla. Plus or minus cash depending on condition
