Did you clean all of the contacts and wipers on the player discs, steppers, etc?

I use furniture slides on mine. (The discs that look like a plastic plate with rubber on the top side and teflon or UHMW on the bottom.) I have a set of "skates", but anytime I am rolling the machine forwards or backwards, the wheels hit something and stop. The board rolls over and the legs hit...

IPDB has a listing for it. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2717 There are three different machines in those pictures. Definately a rare machine, though. I have no idea what it would be worth, but if I had one, it wouldn't be for sale. Do you have any pics of yours?

The Stones on tour?? I suppose they could do a remake of "Pinball Wizard" to use as the main music in the pin. (" 'cause we're the wheelchair wizards. Where'd we leave our teeth?") Not going to get any money from me. A Rush pin would definitely be a hit. People are paying $100 for LAWN seats on...

Eventually, you will need some of the info here: http://www.pinrepair.com/sys3/index.htm The manual should tell you how to reset all of the scores and make difficulty adjustments etc.

I assume you were trying to get a more lively rebound so that you don't have to throw so hard. Are you using plenty of shuffleboard wax and what number is it? The stuff needs to be spread all the way back through the pin area to help the puck slide. I bought a new puck for mine and it weighs...

Anyone have any good numeric displays laying around? I know I should buy a Pinscore unit, but until I do, it's sure be nice to have all of the displays working on my F-14 Tomcat. It has the older board with holes for 4 lights and the spots for the credit and ball display. (They aren't used on...

I fixed the Yagov kicker on my F-14 Tomcat. Had to resolder a wire that had broken off the coil. That has got to be the most difficult part of that machine to get to. The coil is buried under the ramp and it took much longer to get to it than to actually fix the problem. On the way out, I...

I did a little poking around and found this: http://www.coinopspace.com/forum/topics/blue-max-em-game-restoration I don't know anything personally about it, but it looks cool. That whole projector disk thing has me intrigued, too.

There is a strike / spare step unit for each player and they all work fine. This problem occurs on all players. I did some work on it yesterday and found a couple of broken wires. They are in the large bundle that is on the back door. Those could very well be part of the problem. They are...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I took so long to see it. I have the manual and schematic. I just can't seem to follow this all the way to the end. I'd guess this is the most complex part of the scoring circuit. I'd bet you are on to it with the grounds, though. This machine was on a back patio...

Shameless bump. Doesn't take long for something to get buried around here. I'd love to trade for an F-14, High Speed or T-2. Obviously, I'd be paying for the other machine, but I need the space before I get one of those anyway.

Too far for a machine that is not on the short list. Good luck. Post some pics and consider diving in and try to get it fixed. Might just be a couple of loose wires.

I have an Atilla the Hun project that I need to sell to make room for a grail machine. The Good: It has a replacement main board, so no battery issues. The machine is physically in good shape. Playfield just needs a good cleaning. Translite is good. The Bad: GI is all it has. No...

Where are you located? Depending on the condition, it might be worth a couple hundred to me if you're nearby.
