You could probably get a few pointers from Menace's apprentice brewmanager who is also an expert on what not to do on an F14 :p

Look no further and get in touch with Menace (Doug). What is wrong or do you need done?

Thanks guys, I sent doug a pm this morning. i have a weird problem . The master volume on the sound board is at about a quarter volume and if i try to turn it up any more than that the machine starts resetting itself suring play. Keep it at around quarter volume or lower and there it doesnt. I have pinball pro speakers in it and want to balance all the volumes (on the sound board, in the cabinet and on the cabinet speaker but cant because of this issue. The bass speaker in the cab is also pretty muddy sounding and i think it has something to do with this. I also two playfield flasher lamps that cut in and out. Im pretty sure they are on the same circuit. I think its something loose because when i hit the flipper it makes them cut in and out. Also need to replace the upper flipper coils. They work fine but they are too powerful ,getting airballs everywhere , and i realized that a previous owner has installed the same coils as the lower flippers which is not correct. the uppers need a weaker coil

I think i figured out the flash lamp issue. I have a broken resister lead on the flash driver board. Going to try soldering it and see what happens . :)

Do you make the decals? Or just install? Might need some help with something...

I own a custom graphics installation company. We dont print, just install. I can get certain things made for me as favors from some of the shops i deal with but get one offs designed and printed can be tough as i deal with mostly large format print shops. But if you need say some colored vinyl , or frosting etc, (anything that doesnt need creative setup) im sure i can help. If you need decals installed and are not too far from me i wouldnt mind helping you out.
