    Sytem 80b 20 digit display issue

    Well, where this display is more than just the glass it would be best to try and get a schematic and check to see what all is in the power supply section of the circuit to see if there is anything that could potentially cause the short. I don't have one of these handy so I cannot comment on...

    Sytem 80b 20 digit display issue

    Make sure you do all your connector removal and replacement with the power off, or you will blow stuff up. There is clearly a short somewhere, and it could very well be in the display itself. If you can, replace the blown fuse, disconnect the display and power it up. If the fuse blows again...

    Connector Numbering

    You are correct. The pins on the physical PCB are numbered sequentially, and are not in the schematic for ease of drawing. As long as you can find pin 1 on the PCB you're golden. D

    Road Show - head solenoids

    Ok, I don't have a RS but I do have a FH so I'll do my best... Wiring / schematic diagrams in the manuals have known to be incorrect, but are usually well documented on RGP. The eyes in FH have separate coils for eyes left and right (one coil for each direction) so not sure what you're talking...

    Same bulb burning out multiple times?

    Usually if bulbs in the GI are burning out they are brighter than the rest and are seeing more voltage than they should. (this can happen if a number of other bulbs are out in the same GI string given the design) As for the insert, I would think it's just a fluke? D

    2013 GTA Pinball Expo!

    And transit issues would be resolved as well if a location such as a college was obtained. Excellent idea... D

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Who dares enter the Black Hole? :) I spent my evening creating a BOM for pre-DCS speaker upgrade kits along with calculating what cap and coil I will require to make my own crossovers. D

    Remote battery holders

    I make it a habit to change out all my batteries New Years Day for all my games. Some of my games have remote holders, most don't. D

    Buying a new car?

    Yeah, I haven't been to impressed with Mazda build quality the last few years either. My ex has a loaded 2008 CX9 and the hatch started rusting from the inside (even after being rust proofed) within the 1st year! Just last month the thing was yanked off the road by a mechanic due to being...

    Buying a new car?

    Get anything you want and toss a hitch on the back. My Rav4 has managed to fit every game I've ever tried to move in it, but I also have a hitch and it's just that much easier to toss an enclosed trailer on it and go. Gives me the felixability of carrying more than one game at a time, and...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Oh I curse Pat for lots of other reasons on top of the amount of pop bumpers he likes to use. To be fair, GTB pops suck too. Are the new Stern pops the same as the DE's were? If they are, that's a bonus. D
