Hi Clay, Great post! And by the way, I really enjoyed the previous chronicle about resetting playfield lenses, very timely. Thank you very much for taking...
Good Morning Marty, hmmm, no dumpster projects being offered in the Ohio area, oh well. hahaha! That's all right, my pinball hauler just died on me yesterday....
Tony, You're so right. Donal has a wealth of pinball knowledge and has an unbelievable collection of vintage games all set up in the order that they were...
I couldn't agree with you more, MrMarco....We are very fortunate to have Clay as such an active participant in this group..He has forgotten more pinball...
Bryan, You may have already checked this but make sure the guy has all the connectors plugged in...and if they are all plugged in then plugged in to the proper...
So, I'm finally picking my way through this thing and finding out why this game was a freebie. I've figured out a few things but a schematic would be most...
Latent Magnetism on coils -- anyone got a cure for this? My "bonus score" relay stays shut. I "fixed" it by wrapping the relay blade with electrical tape...
The electrical tape method works well. maybe two wraps around instead of one? short of replacing the trip plate there isn't much you can do. add an aluminum...
Howdy, I just want to make sure I understand. You are saying the metal plate that is normally pulled in when the coil is eneregized, stays in all the time....
one trick to demagnetizing is to tap the offending iron piece with a hammer . magnetism is an orderly arrangement of the iron's electrons, and some tapping can...
EM Repair chronicle #24 Game: Gottlieb Jumping Jack 2 player 1973 Status: Game semi-working. Initial Power on status: Not tried. Schematics: Yes but not...
this can help but it does not solve the magnetic problem on the relay trip plate. ... with a ... and some ... also ... with a ... its de- ... Residue ... ...
no of course it's not correct. the moving trip plate becomes magnetic over time due to the relay coil. It can become so bad that the relay plate stays ...
Hi Guys, I have a small hand held demagnetizer that I bought at Radio Shack about 30 wears ago. It was cheap ($5 or so) and I used it to take the build-up of...
Good Morning Clay, Thank you! In the old days we used a demagnetizer on tape deck heads. I wonder if such a device would be of value. Maybe there is too...
Good Morning JP, I should have read your post before I commented. We both had the same thought. Although I do like Mike's idea, Hit it with a hammer! Whether...
Thanks, I hadn't thought to suggest that. I sent him a fax (he's not online) with the suggestion last night. I got a message a few minutes ago that a friend of...
actually you can use a soldering gun to do the same thing. but it does not work on relay trip plates unless you remove the whole part and do it. that's too...
Hi All, This is my first machine and I am wet behind the ears................ I still have a problem with my 500 pt scoring. It scores 5500 (an extra...
does anyone have this game? I trying to figure out how to play. iT IS A roll down but how does the ball get to the top of the field with out a shoutter?...
... Yes, that's right, irrespective of power to the coil. According to Clay, the "electrical tape method" seems to be an acceptable workaround, short of...
Sorry to jump in late, but I just got back from my trip to pick up some games and visit family. I find this quite interesting, I have never had this problem...
There should be a manual ball "lifter" and a shooter/plunger. See IPD #2663 for some pictures, the "lower playfield" and "front" pictures show it pretty well,...
Again you can use a 100 watt soldering gun as a degauser. But that does not fix this problem. The problem will come right back. And it's a pain to try and...
