After they had left, closer inspection of the machine led me to find sticky vanilla ice cream in the...

    The hunt is back on

    Hello friends, A while ago I sold off my entire collection, thinking I would never look back. Recently, my thumbs have been itching and I've started looking to rebuild a collection. I was surprised to see the lack of games on ebay, et. al., and whatever games are available, the prices seem to...

    satans hollow - problem with coin meter

    Hi - when I short J4-21 on a satans hollow midway board, the coin meter should increment. problem is, it doesn't .. i've traced it, and i can't seem to find the problem. Now, I have a problem with the roms, but usually coin meters don't need rom's to work, the TTL logic is built right on the...

I recently bought a Satan's hollow, and while fixing a bridge between the rom set, a couple of the rom legs broke off. it's broken right at the chip edge. i cant get a connection to even dump the ROM.

    Last annoying fix - Please help me finish :)

    disconnect one of the wires from the target.. take your logic probe and connect to the loose wire and to the other target wire... if your probe pulses you have a component problem.. trace back to the board.. repeat the test all the way including and past the driver to the chip pinout.. you can...

    Williams Adjust Switch 48 Right Flipper

    i agree with ken. also, you may want to check the right flipper selenoid.. you'll see a diode connecting from pin 3(+) to pin 2 (-) .. make sure it's not blown..
