sounds like a short between 6 and 30 volts. check the male connectors first for pulled back insulation. also disconnect the PF and try again. maybe also...
Hello, I have recently acquired a 1977 Sterns Rawhide Pin Project. I think this was a Chicago Coins Pin, that Sterns took over. Anyway, I was checking out...
Howdy, Is it possible to buy a sheet of bakelite? I was thinking about this lately, especially concerning flippers. Instead of always having to buy flipper...
Sounds like your making good headway with it, thats great. So does the game actually play? Flippers work and new game starts? Thats the problem with mine,...
Thanks yes it does play, with just the couple hang ups.I just got back in from taking the bottem board out and completly cleaning it out.Found a couple issues...
I have a bally Time Zone (1972) and its a doing some weird things. I called the guy in sandusky ohio who when he gets mad at his gun games he uses his 13 eee's...
Throw this out to those who know. The coil to the flash baseball bat is weak. will have a low buzz, and nothing. sometimes, but not often, it will swing the...
Hello All, I have "almost" got my Surf Champ working. But, I have a weird intermittent problem. Every so many games, it seems the score reels will not fully...
Marty, Check the wires to the bat coil and reflow the solder on the connectors. I had this problem with a flipper coil on a game and doing this fixed it. Good...
Marty, I was having a similar problem with a flipper. It was driving me nutz. My boys would play and it would act up and then I would come and see the...
Hi All, I need a 100 point chime (the middle one) for my Wizard. Can anyone suggest anywhere I can get one? I' m actually using the chime box from a Strikes...

you can MAKE the chimes. go to home depot and buy some aluminum metal stock. they sell it in the right width/thickness. then cut it to length. drill 2 holes....
Mark, I don't think the links are actually bakelite, what I've seen is more like fiberous hardboard... Bakelite is rather brittle, in thin small sections it...
Hi Marty, Try jumpering around not only the relay, but any Jones plugs or solder connections in the path. Just hook the jumper close to the transformer lug ...
... You might want to go with nylon instead of bakelite. firstly, I think it's more readily available; secondly it's MUCH more durable and will probably last...
Yeah, but it's more fun to make stuff like that...at least I like to... Larry martin stepalavich <ctsteps5@...> wrote: pinball resource does have them m ...
actually bakelite is more durable than nylon due to the fibers in it. nylon dries out with time and fractures. bakelite rarely does this. and yes you can buy a...
Ok,UPDATE, got it put back together. Fixed bonus problem! Stepper for bonus collect had a coild with a loose screw that allowed it to jam up. Issues still...
I really appreciate all that sent me schematics. they are all returned and in the mail back to you (if you have not received them already). thanks again!...
The add bonus lights at the top of the play field are controlled by the KS relay / mini stepper unit on the under side of the playfield. It's located near the...
Though not perfect (the playfield could use some help), the game is all done. this thing was rusted solid from every stepper, to the dang shooter rod! it took...
I think there may be some confusion about the material used. Bakelite was the first "synthetic plastic", a thermosetting plastic from the 20s. That means...
