I'm looking to have some one come out and help me with a couple issue with a couple pins. Any help or contacts would be very appreciated

What kind of problems, which pins?

What kind of problems, which pins?

Gotllieb victory- kicker near top middle of play field that kicks the ball up the ramp is stuck in forward position, I can manually push the kicker back in place but takes a lot of force. When it does fire barely nudges the ball. Coil has brown all on the paper, it is as simple as just replacing the coil and sleeve?

 

[Grauwulf]

Sounds like it. The coil had probably been locked on at some point in the past and melted the coil. If it's not currently locking on, put a new coil and sleeve in and you should be good to go.

I just acquired the pin, played a half dozen games then walked away from it. When I returned about an hour later that kicker was constantly firing, I presume the switch was just stuck, this is probably what screwed the coil, thanks a lot

 

[Grauwulf]

Yep, pretty good chance that's all it was, assuming it stopped doing it. You may want to adjust the switch if you haven't already.

Could also be due to those *oh-so-awesome* grounds GTB pins are renowned for... (in case you find it's not the switch)

Does any one have a contact for in home tech. To visit, I also have a display issue with another pin that is out of my comfort zone, thanks

 

[Menace]

I could come out but it's a tad far from me and you'd probably end up paying more for my travel time than tech time. (although I was on a 6hr service call last night so you never know) James (Grau) might be closer?

There is Al Patterson out of Hamilton as well

Al 905-973-5706 or alpat5@msn.com call anytime

 

[Grauwulf]

Yes, Al is likely closer, I'm down in St Thomas, so I'm easily an hour+ away.

If your problem can wait a year or two I will hopefully be competent enough at fixing pinball machines to do it

I'm far from a pro, but I've fixed quite a few problems on my old f-14. I've also done the ground mods on spring break before. I'd be willing to help out, since I'm just in Kitchener.

Send me a pm if you want me to come look at things.
