    Pop bumper lamp socket

    I use the insulated ones for repairs out in the wild. When I have a game in my shop, I use the original style as I have all the tools necessary on hand to do the replacement correctly. (pneumatic stapler is a must) D

    Pop bumper lamp socket

    The insulated type fit no problem, unless they have changed the OD on the insulation. The only problem is that i no longer looks factory, but it's more robust. D

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    Gotcha. Where the coil itself has swollen, the issue could come back at which point you will want to replace the coil to fix the issue permanently. D

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    I would be careful about using a flipper coil in place of the sling coil, unless they are the EXACT same part#. Usually sling coils are much higher resistance (read weaker) than flipper coils for a reason. If these are not the same it will work in a pinch, but you should really order the...

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    I've seen assemblies like this with grease on the pivot points from the factory that pack up pretty good. If that's the case just disassemble the whole sling mech, degrease it and reassemble. No real need for grease on this mech in a home use game. D

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    When the sling gets stuck out, turn the machine off. If the sling goeas back to rest, the issue is electrical. If it stays out when you turn the game off it's a mechanical issue. Once you know which type of issue you are dealing with, then you can begin to form a logical plan of attack...

    Slash's GNR game in the RRHOF

    Slash must have had the game next to a window, the whole left side of the game is completely faded. :( D

    What's a Black Knight worth?

    Just for reference I sold a working BK almost 10 years ago for $750. And how is the BK in that link a limited edition? (the link is claiming so) The seller should learn pretty quickly that market value on this game is nowhere near $4500 when it doesn't sell. D

    Gorgar's heart beats no more.

    Yeah, just a play on words I'm about 30mins south of you by the sounds of it. My shop is currently RAMMED with clients machines (I think 7 at the moment) so bringing the whole game to me would be the best option just not at this moment. You can bring me the MPU and the driver PCB and I can...

    WTB Pinball Parts

    Besides dealing with Playdium in Toronto or MTL, you can reach out to https://pinballmedics.ca/ as this would be your only reasonable option in Canada. D

    Gorgar's heart beats no more.

    I don't have any sys6 stuff on hand but I can tackle all of the repairs on it. At the very least the 40 pin interconnect header and sockets will need to be replaced, and if that doesn't solve all of the weird behaviour likely a PIA has failed. The locked on coil will need the transistor...

    ColorDMD's next game is Twilight Zone

    Damn right, that guy is worth the $ he charges! If this trend crosses over, used car pricing should go through the roof as everyone will work every repair / maintenence bill into the cost of the sale. D

    ColorDMD's next game is Twilight Zone

    Dan, you're forgetting the labor to install this display into the game and program it so people will tack on MORE than $700. :deluxe picard:

    The Hobbit Full Playfield Posted by JJP

    My biggest concern is the fact it's a widebody, and if that's what is holding the game back from being great no amount of code is going to fix that. Granted I can't see how you would get all of the mech's into this game without it being a widebody though. D
