Re: Official Pinhead Test 101
I'm sad.......but I'm giving myself mega bonus points for actually going to jail from "stealing money to play pinball."

Re: Beware, stolen machines!
Seems like the games were "found". Games were purchased by Nitro without them knowing they were stolen. They happily came forward immediately once they knew the good were stolen. Hopefully they find the culprit. What kind of crack head moron steals high profile games to resell them the day after to ...

Re: Gottlieb Surf Champ - always two players
Starting to look like all roads lead to motor switch 1c......if I put a little pressure on the stack while starting it does not activate the add player on the coin unit and starts at one player. Looks like I'll have to take a couple stacks off the motor above it to reach it, which will be a first ...

Re: Gottlieb Surf Champ - always two players
Question.....should the coil be getting power even though the game is turned off? I don't mean it's activating, but twice now I've gotten a little "love ya' Bruce" from the power tabs, even though the game is shut off.
Been unplugging it now when I reach in....

Re: Gottlieb Surf Champ - always two players
I've checked all avenues that my tiny brain can think of.............curious if the coin unit jumping up one spot on start up could have something to do with the way the coin units were wired when they took them out years ago? If I unhook the coin door and hit first ball or start it doesn't move ...

Re: Pinball must-have mods
Meh, can't hear the pin over the stereo so adding to the sound is a waste for me. I like some of the extra lighting for mods, but that's about it. Mostly because, unlike most folk, my mancave is a garage and not so easy to make dark like a basement.

Hey Steph, Have you checked with a reputable transmission shop instead of the dealer? A rebuild from a specialist might cost you a lot less. Good luck! tartagliag This!!!

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
Decided to get Arena going. The good... it turned on and plays. The bad... it is rough looking, with a worn playfield. The ugly... cab os so bad, the pin dolly went right through the bottom. Lol. Oh well... looks like the game is giving me no choice but to build a new cabinet and retheme it at this ...

Re: Blue Note Score Motor
Thanks to all those who gave ideas for my Blue Note problem. My buddy Jay Horst came over and we started really digging into the switches, and found continuity where there shouldn't have been on about the 3rd one in. Traced it back to the "O" relay and, to the naked eye' the switched looked good ...

Re: Blue Note Score Motor
It scores normally.
I'm honestly thinking coin door. One slot mech is still there and one isn't, the switch where there is no mech will add games but the one with a mech does nothing. Coil does pull in on the door...
