I have a 1973 Bally Space time that I am preparing the playfield for varathane coating. The machine came with aftermarket pop-bumper woodgrain shields, and I...
I wouldn't use a heat gun. You can blister the paint right off of the playfield. I did it with a hair dryer on my Flip-Flop. It peeled off fairly easy but took...
Hey Terry, I had the same type of woodgrained protectors around 3 pop-bumpers on my 1962 Liberty Belle. They had been on the machine so long that I was able...

I'm trying to color match the yellow on a 76 Got EM playfield. I have tried using various yellows, both in enamel and acrylic, but have not been able to get...

Marty, Welcome to the world of early Williams SS games...lol There are lots of possible problems, so there is a certain amount of commitment invovled. The...
Possibly a bad connector and pins between the CPU and driver board. I've had to replace a lot of these in William's games in the past. Once the pins get a...

Marty, There is a whole (lengthy) section in Clays guides about the WMS system 3-7 boards and troubleshooting. If it is a socket or connector issue, you can...
I've been wondering if using a bit of Stabilant 22 on these would help. It is supposed to eliminate intermittent connection issues and is recommended by the...

Isn't this an EM group? why the SS questions? but anyway, you don't clean them. There is no shortcuts to getting your World Cup working reliably. If you really...
it works, and plays, cant keep score worth a crap, or track of frames, but still have a bunch of steppers to clean, and contacts to file. ill get it yet m...
I just picked up one of these machines but I know nothing about it. Apparently it was built sometime in the 50's. I have the schematic but no manual. So far,...
Exactly the same thing happened to my Space Invaders. Turned out to be the voltage regulator (a $7.50 part) that I figured out with a lot of help AFTER I had ...
