    Shipping a pinball machine to the USA

    Forward Air. Needs to be on a pallet and you need to deliver to the FA terminal, and the customer on the other end has to pick it up from the FA terminal but it's pretty painless. The customer will need to clear the shipment themselves beforehand, but it's a matter of taking the paperwork to...

    Heighway Pinball Production Update

    If these guys are going to get serious about MFG, they need to ditch the cheap battery operated tools and get proper pneumatic stuff with clutches built in. D

    Eddy Sensor help

    Yep, what Slam_Tilt suggested. These eddy PCB's can be a pain as they are always in need of adjustment. If they continue to give you trouble, I would suggest picking up a set of the auto-eddy PCB's from Pinbits. http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=296 D

    Stern Pinball: Spike Electronics System

    You could probably add in an additional drivers to the game, but without the game supporting the addition in software they won't do anything... D

    Stern Pinball: Spike Electronics System

    Wonder if popping a set of headphones in there disables the speaker output? D

    Wooohooo! Hopefully this solves the issue! D

    Gottlieb system 1 help

    You could always pickup a can of freeze spray and hit any of the suspected chips that are hot and see if the sound comes back. D

    Beat up F2K

    For anyone that wants proper US cleaning solution, hit up Comet Pinball for this stuff; http://www.cometpinball.com/ULTRADUST-p/ultradust.htm D

    Beat up F2K

    Keyboards depending on the design could be fine, as I've seen these more as a membrane type switch. But anything with a set of internal contacts that isn't IP 67/68 rated and you can bank on the mfg claiming not to wash these under and circumstances. The same goes for relays that are not...

    Beat up F2K

    Actually, solution or not all switch MFG's claim to never wash switches anytime with anything unless the particular switch is designed for it. Even with just plain water the mineral deposits that it would leave behind on the switch contacts would impede correct opperation. D

    Beat up F2K

    Yep, leafs would be fine although you may have to hit the switch contacts with a business card to clean off any residue after installation. D

    Beat up F2K

    I wouldn't recommend washing any switches in any solution, as the MFG's suggest switches are not washable unless rated as such. (things like switches and relays are usually populated AFTER main PCB assembly and washing) D

    Stern's New Spike System & Shaker Motor Service Bulletin

    Yeah, it's all a bit strange if you ask me. Apparently removing the cap from the shaker solves the issue though. Terry has sent out replacement node PCB's to all the customers that bought a shaker and had issues, and once the cap is removed the customers are reporting no problems. D

    Orbitor 1: The Pinball Adventure

    It's actually two separate pieces. The clear "bathtub" that is the actual playing surface, and then the contoured / textured / painted plastic underlay. It's a pretty interesting piece for sure. D

    Orbitor 1: The Pinball Adventure

    Did Stern ever re-run ANY of their classic titles? (I think re-runs didn't start until after 1999) D

    Stern's New Spike System & Shaker Motor Service Bulletin

    My initial thought was the cap is used to reduce any line noise created by the motor.... D

    Stern's New Spike System & Shaker Motor Service Bulletin

    Clearly that is what this bulletin is trying to do, but Stern hasn't changed their shaker motor so what is the purpose of the cap on the aftermarket? There must be a reason the cap was added to the CT version to overcome a difference in the motor they use over the Stern OEM. I do question...
