I adjusted the relays in the reset bank QB "game over relay" and XB "last ball relay". I then set the player unit stepper to open switch stack P5. Fired it up and got lucky.

Got it! Time to play.

I have an Out of Sight (Gottlieb). A real project machine that I finally got running. Gobs of info on how to get one running out there. My problem is making it stop. On the last ball the score motor keeps running. The ball stays put and it says game over and the match number comes up. It...

Thanks. Whats funny is that I have never played one of the new ones before. Finding the em pins has been fun too. I havent had to pay over $300 for one yet or drive more than 3.5 hours to find one.

Picked up another pin. Just couldn't pass this one up. Didn't expect it to work, but was pleasantly surprised when I got it home and back together. It even had all of its mibs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1_xSoJLLzU

I'm on that adventure now. I'm just going to order new ones.

Thanks. I'll check on what tap it is set on.

Thanks. This is my first and only pin I got to work on so far. Its providing me hours of entertainment both on and under the playfield.

Just an up date. Cleaned every switch, score reel, stepper unit, etc. Replaced some drop targets and play field rubbers. The list is too long. Got it sort of running. The bonus stepper, and player unit stepper are not working and neither is the ball kicker or the ball return. To start the...

Great music even though they started as a Mod band. Moon the Loon was the greatest drummer ever. Liked the film a lot (still do) and dig pins from that era. Nothing better than an EM pin with psychedelic art for me.

"This thread is becoming a tutorial for first time EM pin owners ..." I've got my swamps to drain, but this is helping me too.

Thanks for the responses. Made another order today for parts and supplies. Looks like I've got to rebuild a stepper unit or 2 and devise a stop rubber for one of the drop targets since they no longer make that part. I usually work on old British motorcycles and have to refine my touch. So...

Misery loves company. I thought it was ok to use teflon gel in certain spots.

Thanks. I might have that as an issue also, but I know this stepper unit isn't working and figure I would fix it first. I also have a broken pop bumper switch. Had to order some super lube since there was none to be found local.

Cheers. Got my first project EM pin. Its a Gottlieb "Out of Sight" I have been to Marvin3m and made my first order from pinball resource. It doesn't work yet and the start motor just keeps turning. I'm just doing a lot of cleaning right now and tried to save the back glass paint with triple...
