I posted the link to the playfield re-do. but here's the whole game in completion. Cool game. much better than say Target Alpha, at least in my eye. ...
... I found the issue. I had already cleaned and checked the zero switch. It looked fine, But when I moved the wire bundle leading to it, the reel started...
Ok so i'm working on a 1977 Jack Open. http://marvin3m.com/gtb/jackopen.htm got it all working, plays good. (i really need a score card for this game, does...
Perhaps I should add what is required to mod the PF: 1. center scoring 5/16" hole for current 10 point switch enlongated for the kicker arm to travel. 2....
Oh, man. I would, but I'm pretty irreverent. That looks like it's screaming to have kicker mechs. Add it and pass it off as a prototype game ;) $.02...
Hi Clay, I wouldn't do the mod. The game is engineered and tested to be like it is. I'm quick to maybe add some lights or a winding or two off a coil, but...
I wouldn't for a couple of reasons, number one being it's a wedgehead, which to me were the greatest games ever made. It would be like putting flippers on...
MODS???...You're gonna make MODS to a game????...Blasphemy!!....Clay, aren't you the same guy that told me a week or so ago, when I suggested you go ahead with...
And don't let the hot end rub against the iron's power cord...it tends to make you cuss and it pretty much ruins the cord real fast! LOL.... Larry drop_target...
Gtb. late 70's Bronco had no sling shot kickers either.I owned one for a short time..it sure makes for a boring pin, but that's the way Gtb. designed the...
One more argument pro-mod: Since the modifications you need to make to add the mod will be hidden under the sling plastic and under the playfield, it's...
Hey Larry, Tell me about it!! I have a Gott. Mustang (2 player version of Bronco). You just expect a kick off the slings to get the ball moving or back up...
Good point, Mark....If you plan to keep the game long term, then make it to suit you...But if there are plans to sell it, then maybe you might want to leave it...
My 1966 Bally Capersville was designed with one kicker on the left side as usual, but the right side has no kicker! I always thought this was kind of strange....
Hi John, I missed getting a Capersville a year or so ago. Did I miss out on a good game or not? I have heard mixed reviews on CV...What's your opinion of the...
Actually i was thinking of adding a slingshot to just ONE side as a test. Just to see what it did, if it made things more fun. So i guess i'm not so crazy...
Larry, They made over 5100 Capersvilles. Not too many games sold those kind of numbers in 1966. You think it would be easier to find. This game has not been...
John, Thanks for the great rundown on Capersville...I know I should have gone to look at that game when it came up, but I was busy with something else at the...
if only it was a better looking game. without a doubt, one of the ugliest of the pointy art era. sigh... ... white ... you ... mine ... 40 ... feature. ... ...
Larry, Just turned 53 last week. (My mind is still stuck on 18 though.) I started my pinball addiction at a young age. Flying Chariots in 1963 got me hooked on...
My first aid squad, is looking to rid themselves of an older electromechanical bingo system. They want $100. However, I am seeing new systems which retail for...
With me it's always the stuff I have to do first that drives me crazy. Like today, I am trying to move a truck out of my shop. Before I can do it I have to...
... I own a Mustang that is sans-slinghots as well. One thing I notice was that the triangle where the slingshots would be is smaller than the slingshot games....
I did that once. Musta thought it was a pencil!! Double ouch!! 2 Fingers. Terry ... From: martin stepalavich To: empinbalmachines@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I hope you guys don't ever take up welding! fanman ... From: empinbalmachines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:empinbalmachines@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Hey Fanman, That pretty much hits the nail right on the head for me. A ton of things to do and all interlocked together like one big puzzle, a bunch of hoops...
