At first I thought the title read MASSAGE cleanup. Likely a much more terrible job.

Congrats. I can't wait to play it!

That's pretty neat.

Neat! I swapped driver boards and the right-side flippers now work. If it's the missing diode 33 that's causing the problem, I'm confused as how I managed to play 100+ games before the flippers failed. Not that I'm complaining, I've been dying to play RG again for the past couple of weeks! I'll...

Interesting. Until the flipper problem, the game played (seemingly) just fine without it. Maybe I'll swap driver boards between Jokerz and RG to see if anything noticeable happens.

As I poke around my RG today, I'm reminded that a certain part (D33) has been missing from my AUX driver board since the day I got it. While I'm fairly certain it can't be the cause of my flipper problem, I can't help but think that if the game didn't need it the designers wouldn't have put it...

I assume those games are owned/"maintained" by Starburst/Playdium. They're going to get WAAAY worse. The games at Playdium by Square one are shameful for a company that puts their "BUY ME AT PLAYDIUM" stickers on their games. Half of the games have serious problems, but they still have them...

I'm not a huge warbird fan, but I do like the Mustang. I had the Parkzone Mustang last summer. (got that one for a crazy good price too, but from a different good customer. I seem to have good luck that way) It was a lot of fun to fly. It was considerably larger than the one I acquired tonight...

A good customer of mine practically gave me this little number tonight: I say 'practically gave me' because I didn't feel right taking it for free. He said he'd be happy with $40. Heck, the Thunder Power LiPo he threw in is worth $23 before tax. I forget who he said the manufacturer is. I'll...

Re: PBRev 2014 Summer Meet-n-Greet - AUG 9th! Awesome! Looking forward to it.

Indeed. I swapped out the resistor and threw it all back together to see if the right-side flippers work again as I track down the culprit. Still no flippers. The plot thickens.

Looking at original/donor board, I see this machine has had this problem in the past. The same transistor has been replaced at some point:

Yeah, looks like it might just have been one: I'll check all the other ones in the area to make sure there's no other damaged bits.

That sounds like a plan. I've got my old board to harvest parts from. I'd send ya a text, but my phone is misbehaving at the moment. (Win8 phone that's stuck in an infinite reboot loop) I'll PM you in a bit.

Rats. Look what I just found on my minty-fresh MPU. :( I can't help but think that's has something to do with my bad flippers. :lol:

Where do you race? Lou's? I haven't been there in a couple of years. The last time I raced was at the Snowbird Nationals in Orlando, a year and a half ago. VTA and 17.5. I wish there was an onroad track in the GTA again.

Very cool! The next time your in the Mississauga/Toronto area bring a plane. We'll go out flying. :) As some of you know, I work at Hobby Hobby in Mississauga. (I believe we are easily in the top 10 most successful hobby stores in North America) I raced cars for many years. Mostly 1/10 scale...

So, I haven't had much time to tinker over the past few days. It turns out the actual coil is not the problem. I didn't realize until a couple of days ago that both flippers on the right side (upper and lower) have suffered the same fate. My buddy Mike was playing the game as the flipper was...

Interesting article. It looks like my beer of choice is sub-middle of the pack: P.S. I WISH Pabst was $8 per 12 pack here! It's $9.95 for a sixer at the liquor store. Although, I get into enough trouble with PBR at our prices. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kdaHjcPXug

LoLz for double entendres.
