It's not going to work. In this case the difference in the knocker volume is due to the voltage being used. Ballys use 43v, the WMS Gorgar uses 28v. The reason the coils are different is due to the different voltages. If you put the Bally knocker in the Gorgar it will actually be weaker...

I ran a Metallica Premium on location that occasionally blew the coil for the magnet. It was frustrating. It had the upgraded magnet board. I won't be in that situation again as I no longer operate games, but thanks for the info and write up.

It is a good modification and works well. John Wart also knows what he's doing and does good work.

There has to be a distributor in Portland where you can order a game and pick it up. They may be able to deliver and set it up. But at worst you should be able to pick up a game NIB. You'll save a grand or more over a dealer if you pick it up. Look up amusement and distribution companies in...

1) Sounds like the manual is referring to a rebound rubber behind the drop targets. I'd look for a leaf switch stuck closed behind a rubber behind the drop targets. 2) Assuming you've disassembled and cleaned everything and lubed the pivot points, this sounds like magnetized coil stops or...

I can only speak to my situation and experience. But there are a lot of variables such as pricing, your location's traffic, your split with the location, if there are other games, etc. But in my experience I'd say anywhere from 2-4 years. The condition of the games also depends on the...

Yes, it certainly is.

Believe me, there are plenty of people who have heard of and dealt with this Barry White from NJ.

Digging this up to try and get some information on the SM-106 step up coil for the coin count unit. Ken, I see you say it is a 23-800, which is helpful. Unfortunately the coil in the game I'm working on is completely baked and has fallen apart. There's no chance of me re-winding it. Any...

Fathom has two inline banks.

Sounds like the decoupling caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupling_capacitor

The story from Pinball News: http://www.pinballnews.com/comment/predatorpinball.html Yes, it appears that he was so blatantly stupid and sleazy to outright lie the entire time.

That's a lot of work. Thanks!

I'm not sure I exactly understand your question, but on Williams System 3-7 pinball machines you can swap the display glass between the different player positions.

I replied again to your thread on Pinside.
