I used to keep them in and make the kids earn money to play, until my 8 year old saw me open it up and add credits, now he can do that on most of my games, so put it back on free play mode. :FP:
Found out my High Speed is starting to behave poorly! The left ball kicker is sticking and it is not a standard coil, some sealed black box. -sigh-. And there must be a loose wire in a wiring harness, the left two flashers do not flash, if I shake the wires at the back it starts working. -sigh-...
I did a LOT of price comparing and for the regular stuff his price was amazing and he was very helpful ... If I had to do it again, I would probably start with him, I had great dealings with a company in the UK, however shipping was quite expensive, and there is a really really good company in...
Oh, and if you have lots of free money to blow, there is someone on this forum selling kits to build your own.... I prefer to find a cab and redo it, mainly because I am too cheap .... :)
If you are looking to tinker, build your own mame ... I had a blast building mine, I tried to capture most of the stuff I had to do .... http://arcade.thewebexpert.ca/
I added a PACLED (led controller) and LED buttons, but that is total overkill and not necessary at all.

I also got fed up with the flat rate shipping, fortunately I can drive to the states in about 60 minutes and there is a cool service that you pay 5 bucks a package, and they will hold anything for a year (and they give you a full shipping address) ... so as long as we are not in a rush .... we...
Got to turn on the lineup for the kids (they had some friends over). It is so much fun introducing kids to pinball. It is also funny to see which games they gravitate to! Tron? NOPE, it ends up usually being either Toledo or Stargate!
I find small needle nose pliers the best, that way it does not fly all over the room, or get dropped. :) But I am over carefull since I aways drop crap in the machine ... I now drape sheets over the box when I am working on the underside of the playfield ... because if it can fall off, it will...
Special When Lit rediscovers the lure of a lost pop icon - pinball. This award winning documentary joins the fans, collectors, designers and champion players from across the globe who share the story of a phenomenon that once swept the world.
It is on Hulu for those with proxy/dns usa setups...
I am in no way an expert ... but if I was trying to troubleshoot it, I would be in test mode, and make sure none of the optos are stuck "on" and make sure each one responds when I break the beam. Once you find the one, it may just need an alignment or replacement.
Looks like they over tightened my left ramp at the factory too much and it is cracked a bit at the screw, it is still working fine, but it is only a matter of time before it brakes.
Anyone in the Ottawa area with a spare one for sale, please let me know
Cheers

Whoohoooo! My pinball lineup is back up 100% running thank's to PinHead.ca !!! Thank you Geoff!
I wired my coil backwards and blew a bunch of chips, I tried to fix it myself, but in the end, did not know how to troubleshoot it any further. I was able to replace a capacitor and a resistor that...
Apparently the data center is doing a firmware upgrade on their network switches and we may experience an outage of no more then 30 minutes in the next 3 hours. Sorry for the short notice, I did not notice the bulletin until now.
With any luck, we may not even notice it go down
