They go on the sideboards on the inside of the cabinet. On the side panels on each side between the playfield surface and the glass. Currently, these areas are just painted black.

If I had this problem, the first thing I would have done is unplugged everything except J101. If you then power up the game and it immediately blows F114, then you can be 100 percent certain the problem is on the PDB. From looking at the Schematic Manual, Power Driver Board, Sheet 1, Page 2...

I love it. May I humbly suggest that you contact someone like Classic Playfield Reproductions to buy the appropriate blank "stock" to cut the new playfield out of. That way your creation will last, while having the same feel as the original. 17/32 maple plywood is what CPR uses (I think)...

I have never sold a pin on eBay, but the few items I did sell (cheap household items) the fees were about 11 percent. Remember Paypal charges their fee on shipping too. Plus there is the whole paypal thing, which is better gone over at: http://www.paypalsucks.com/ In short, selling pin on...

+1 And for clarity, I am not trying to be "short or rude" with you, but if you have not done board work in the past, now is not the time to learn (in my opinion). To my knowledge, no one is reproducing these boards (yet). Tom

Like Lloyd said, pull the fuse for the upper right flipper (F902) on the Extra Flipper Supply Board. Then go into test. I would start with the switch test just to rule out a stuck switch. Tom

You can test the transitor with a DMM, but it is just as easy to put a new coil in the game, then turn the game on and see if the coil locks on. If it locks on, then you likely have a burnt transitor. Assuming the associated switch is not stuck closed. Either way you have to replace the coil...

The coil will need to be replaced if you cannot get the sleave to come out. Generally speaking if the coil sleave (cylinder as you referred to it) is stuck in the coil, the coil has overheated and warped. Be certain that you correct the problem that caused the coil to lock on, because if you...

Pinballrebel also has a lot of free play cards. As well as original instruction cards. http://www.pinballrebel.com/game/pins/card/card.htm

I'm happy it worked out for you! Tom

Check your ball trough switches again. Make sure the switch wireform on the switch closest to the shooter lane is not getting hung up on the trough itself. I have seen where the coil that kicks the ball into the shooter lane, pushes the switch wireform to the side, causing it to hang up on the...

Also is it an EM or a SS machine. The EM's are worth 2 to 3 times what the SS's are worth. Edit: Provided it is not the home model

Honestly, I don't know if the coil is causing the resistor to go bad. But, it would not surprise me. The coil in the game does not have enough resistance (ohms) in it, and that will cause premature failure of parts. Again, I don't know, but it kind of makes sense that it would stress the...

The ohm reading on the right sling shot seems low. Check the manual to see if that is the correct coil. I don't think it is. The wrong coil will take out TIP122's. I don't know if it is the cause of your resistor problem though. When it comes to boards, I am not the best person to ask. I...

It plays exactly like a Pac Man. From KLOV, Pac Man was originally Puck Man. The name was changed to Pac Man after vandals changed the P to an F, creating something that was offensive to most people. Puck Man was developed by Namco in Japan and the rights sold to Midway. Midway produced the...
