Whenever I start a game on my 1959 Gottlieb Around the World the reset bank coil makes a very loud bang when resetting and most of the time the machine will...
WOW! I think Marty's right on. That 110 volt reset coil is toast. Shooting yellow flames are not normal. Sounds like a shorting out coil. I'm amazed it's...
I pulled the coil and it is A5197. My diagram shows it should be A5196. A5197 is listed for the replay unit. Is this a 25 volt coil in a 120 volt circuit? I...
... I'll just buy a new coil and be done with it. Hope that works. Looks like from the charts that the A5197 has a lower resistance than the correct A5196...
Alan, I don't think a coil mismatch by itself could throw yellow flames out of the solenoid as you described. May I suggest that those reset banks do have...
I flipped the page on my pinball calendar to October today and looked at the pictures for the Bally Hay-Ride / Harvest. The flyer says something like "battery...
Awhile back I posted some pictures of a Pioneer I worked on. The machine is currently on "vacation" in a youth room. The kids love it. Recently the main fuse...
Todd, Sometimes kids play flippers like they were clapping and the machine gets in the way. Repeatedly hitting both flippers simultaneously ...and... a bank...
... Hi Mike, No there will not be a 2009 calendar, at least not by me. My dad passed in April and all my time and energy was wrapped up in the estate. I...
I'm sorry to hear about that Alex, my mother just passed in May so I can sympathize. I do love your calendars and hope you can do them next year. Chris...
I'm picking up a Spirit of 76 soon but it is missing the lockdown bar. Can anyone tell me if it uses the type with the pins or with the tabs? Also if someone...
My GTB Pioneer has a lockdown bar with the pins. ... bar. Can anyone tell me if it uses the type with the pins or with the tabs? ... my fair share of elbow...

Mike, Hay-Ride DOES have four kickers in it, two in the regular slingshot positions and one up on each side above those, so the game is really really active....

Howdy, Yeah, I know this a departure from EMs, but I have a Space Invaders pin I fired up over the weekend. The boards need to be refurbished. Who has the...
Great Plains Electronics is the best single source for -35 board sets. He's got pretty much everything you'll need, and his prices and service are awesome. ...
All, I posted this on RGP but thought I'd post here too becuase it worked so well for me: Normally flipper bushings aren't that hard to remove - especially on ...
Hi Mike, Thanks a lot! I'll be ordering everything necessary for proper board upgrades. My wife really enjoyed playing the machine so I guess I'll be keeping...
In addition to replacing the pins on the power supply board, you will need to replace the matching connectors in the plugs. Two of the three plugs will...
