FS: One new set of 27" legs from pbr. The catch is that they actually measure 27 1/2". I don't have a need for them at this time. I'll sell at a discount to...
Hi Brian, Good to hear from you - and welcome from Australia. I have always read your posts over all the pinball forums and you have some amazing games! Well...
John, I'll add comments along the wy if I may. ... on and it didn't catch on fire. ~ This is always a good sign ~ ... ~ That sounds just like my brother-in-law...
Thanks for the comments Al. I'm reading Clay's Systematic repair guide now so I can get it going. What I meant by switches on the left and right are the coin...
I pulled the score motor off and found that the rotor (right word?) at the bottom was stuck. I ended up freeing it and it moves freely now. The rotor is...
I have a 1950 WMS Dreamy that does not score properly by advancing the 100,000 pt unit when the 10,000 pt unit advances 10x. Sometimes it will, and sometimes...
Just validating my group membership. Thanks! I have Mayfair and Grand Prix at present. Will be looking for help on the startup for GP. Satellite68@... ...
Bob, DC resistance in an AC coil is only a very small factor in its operation. The Primary component of a coil in AC operation is Inductance. Inductance is...
... off pretty easily with goof off. :) ~ If it's "Car Trunk Speckled Gray", that was a pretty common practice by a couple of big San Francisco route operators...
Thanks Al for the reply. I heard that you could remove some of the windings to make a flipper coil more "hot", & I wondered if this could be done here. I guess...
Bob, Removing some turns can lower the impedance (as well as the inductance) which will cause more curent to flow. If held to 10% or so, it's probably not an...
You can change a coil's power by 10 to 15 percent using the unwrap technique. but you can't do much more than that. where ever you read you can make a FLIPPER...
Bill, you're probably describing the electric motor armature surrounded by the magnets, they're kind of blue-ish sometimes. If it's freed up now, when the...
Hello Group, Just a note to ask which legs go on a 1977 GTB Big Hit (late 70's EM) The legs on the game don't seem to match up TexasSteven ... Be a better...
Bob, I feel that Clay and I both agree on the majority of issues here: ~ correct coils ~ clean and properly gapped switches (all of them in that series) ~...
Brian, I ended up seeing a normal (silver) armature and so I cleaned the blue coloring of with some alcohol and thought what I saw was hair around the baseof...
Al that's all good and find, but last time i check we used coils wound around a form, not laid out flat. i get your point, but you're comparing apples and...
Clay, I presented facts based upon known physical laws. Period. It's not my opinions, it's not apples and oranges. The reason a coil develops a magnetic field...
im about to let a gottlieb sweethearts pass on. he wants 400 but the backglass is TOAST. playfield has some wear too. cabinet is scratched but looks normal....
Okay I picked up an WMS EM Hit and Run that is just in INCREDIBLE shape. I was so proud to have found it and to have found it for the price. I got it home, it...
yes but the reality of the situation is this... the inductance can't really be changed (easily, short of changing the whole coil). but the RESISTANCE can (by...
i'll take this one step further too... i was working on a white water and the side kickout was way too strong. i didn't have a coil with me with the same frame...
Howdy, Cool looking game. How are the plastics and apron? Playfield can be touched up, most parts can be bought, but backglass and plastics can be touch to...
Hi, thanks for the input, Al & Clay. You've given me lots of food for thought. The EOS switch is rather worn out on top of the 10,000 pt unit which controls...
You can still find repro BGs for about $250. Depending on how badly worn the PF is, $400 is not terrible. Game normally goes for $600-1200 depending on...
That era of GTB E/M pins had already changed over to the big coin door with the deeper Cabinet design, so it should NOT use/need the old style GTB E/M 31"...
