Not sure on the game specific stuff, but a couple of general thoughts: -If you're getting random points with the flippers, is it just the vibration causing a switch to close? Is it one side vs another that seems worse? Start a game with the glass off, and try to shake the machine a bit, or...

It is about that time-I usually change them in the spring with the clocks, which is apparently this weekend? Old ones end up getting kept around for use in game controllers, flashlights, kids' toys, etc, so it's not a total waste.

Interesting-don't think I've ever seen that fix before. Good to know!

This has been a hell of a journey, and it's still far from over. Really looking forward to seeing whether you can make a working game out of this!

Anyone So there's a MG owner out there who got 20k for this? That's awesome-good for them! At least someone got their money back for this project. So not only can you not shoot the ramp, but if you do, the whole giant mech in the middle of the PF doesn't do anything? I wonder which has...

They posted this video the other day as a "gameplay sample": You'd think if they'd bothered to shoot a new video, or even do anything with it, they'd show some updated gameplay with a rule or two, or even being able to make that ramp shot...

At this point, I'm sure it'll be good to just get something out of this, but if the game is unplayable from a playfield perspective (let alone code) then who knows what it'll actually turn out to be. BBB was a working, mostly complete, game. But, who knows. Maybe they took the feedback from...

I know the one time I played a VE I didn't like the callouts as much, since it was missing the original JJJ voice clips (which would have been apt, since JK Simmons also did the voice on the cartoon). Otherwise I like most of the art on the VE, and the dots look cleaner, but it's a great game...

I like being in the position to not have to pick just one, but I'd probably go with TZ as the best of the best. It's a game where there are tons of things to go for and ways to play it. You can go for modes and try to get to LITZ, you can go for the main MB, or you can try for PBM, and do ALL...

If by "stop working" you mean that the flipper is getting stuck, check and see how much vertical play you have on the flipper-can you move it up and down at all, or is it tight to the PF? General rule of thumb is that you want a little movement-about 2 business cards' worth. If instead it's...

Looks impressive!

What happens if you just completely disconnect the aux driver board? If the problem is between the main driver board and this one, then maybe things will work differently? Honestly, I think part of the reason we don't see more threads like this is that the "old, basket case" games aren't...

Long time coming for that new episode-wonder if they'll actually finish out the planned season. I have no idea how much was actually shot already for new shows.

It's a good deal on a pro, and I'd agree that those inlane plastics really help on GB.

Nice job! Looks like a fun restore.

Someone needed a 3A fuse, didn't have one, and tried soldering a 1A and a 2A together?

That's a new one to me, but it makes sense when you think about it. Could have been even worse if it was a window, and different light at different times of day would make the issue even more intermittent. Glad it worked out though, and glad that Playdium was able to service it for you!

Congrats on the pickup-where did you manage to score this one? Good luck with it-the game is a beast to get and keep running-it's the only time I've actually had flames coming out of a game in my basement. Be careful with those Aux drivers, and have a look at the tieback voltage mod if you...

Never heard of "the pinball company" before, but it looks like they're a retailer? Anyway, that game looks really simplistic. The theme is fun, the art is good, and you could do some interesting stuff with the LCD and callouts, but that playfield layout doesn't have much going for it. I...

So the switch is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to? Is it possible it was just wired wrong? I think those microswitches usually have 2 tabs on them-one for NC (Normally Closed) and one for NO (Normally Open). Can't imagine how that could have been wired backwards and made it through...
