I have been slowly working on this machine. I re-capped the monitor and it worked fine. However the main board needed a new battery and some tweaking. I sent the board off for repair and now the monitor is acting up. It takes a long time to come on - probably 10-30 minutes and when I does...

The right arrow actually shows the first wire ended switch actually wore down the corner of the metal. The wire actually hangs up or goes past the frame (when ball launcher fires) and the ball launcher continues to fire. When I purchased this machine, the wire on the switch was gone and I...

Curious to know how many EM vs. SS did they make? I have not seen an EM version.

Wish I could do that fast of a fix!

Great looking pin with animation. If people have the money and want it then good for them.

Very nicely done......

Does the back box have animation in the boat?

I am trouble shooting my NASCAR yet. I am dealing with two opto boards (1 and 2) needed to run 3 switches (37, 35, 34). No matter what I swap, J1 and J2 do NOT work on both boards. I have swapped the boards. On board 2 (only one channel needed) that is supposed to be in J1 and J2, the switch...

Sadly I can't hardly find a place around where I live that has a single game. One bar and that is it. The owner is a former repair guy that used to play a lot.

What are you getting for readings at the Power Supply Board? There seems to be discussion of Power Supply issues - http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtb-data-east-power-supply-bd Do you have a diagram of the switch matrix in the manual. If so, check the switches in the same row and column...

Do you have the manual that tells you how to get into the switch test mode? You've got to get to switch test. Not sure how this game works but you can probably use the flipper buttons to move in test mode. A lot of games you can "select" with the start button..... Not sure on Data East though.

Great work! What the heck is your "day job"?

Great! Gameshow is fun game.

They could have put some time into the playfield!
