I ordered the clip in the picture. You solder each wire to the connector and then put shrink plastic over them. Yes I ordered one, but not the Molex and I broke it...and I still didn't get it out. The PS is a completely rebuilt Gottleib as far as I can tell. It's not a RottenDog. Ok, so the...

Well, I was waiting until I had more info before I posted again, but since I saw this post I will respond. I bought a new cable from Docent Electronics to go from the power supply. I was going to do the power supply fix, but it is already a newer PS. I did the grounding fixes and the battery...

Sorry, I don't where the term "ridge clip" fell from. Yes, edge connector. I just ordered a new clip and Connectors from Docent Electronics. He told me the driver board could have something to do with that as well, but that is all he said.

Now I've done it. I broke the clip getting it out. I guess I will be waiting on parts I'll need to order online. Nothing like that here.

Sorry for the delay, life gets in the way. I did test the continuity from the J7-3 clip to the first diode. It is good. I checked around each of thos targets that it goes to. According to the schematic it goes to the yellow drop target first. I don't see anything that looks unusual to me...

I finished the rewiring for the battery fix and the ground fix to the CPU board. Then I followed the line that all of these are connected to from the ridge clip. When it got to the first diode, I checked for continuity on both sides and it was good. From there it went into a bundle that I...

I brought the board in to work with me this morning. It had some corrosion on it, but the AV guy checked all the continuity for me around the battery and they were all good. He took the old battery off. He said he thought it had been replaced once and someone had done a crappy job because the...

Ok, so the answer is that all of the drop targets fall. They just don't score and since they don't score it doesn't know they have fallen and thus the bonus does not increase nor do the targets reset once I knock them all down. So, it is one yellow, one purple, two red, the 2nd and 4th top...

Good call Shardian, I took it apart this afternoon and the contact on the flipper button was actually sticking together. It looks like the round piece is gone from one side. I did get it to work though. So, I went through the manual and looked at the schematics. All of the things that are...

Another question too, (yes I have a lot) There is a sign inside the machine near the boards that says "when removing circuit boards turn the unit off at the switch and leave the unit plugged in" Is that what I need to do when I start taking these things off to work on them?

I checked a couple of things last night. When the flipper is stuck in the up position, I couldn't even force it back down. As usual, when I turned it off it went down immediately. I checked for any place that something might be touching, but no go. This thought just occurred to me. Since it...

Yeah, I've been there. In fact I already had that tab open. The honest answer is that I'm just not understanding. And, I haven't found the ground repair solution there.

I am having problems with my Sinbad Pin. I am not a pinball repair whiz by any means. I do know how to repair things because I am a computer tech. A couple of things I would like some input on...and if possible, it would help me if you could answer with my limited knowledge in mind. And...

OK, I had some bad fuses, but they have blown again since I got it working. However, two rollover lanes at the top, two round targets and 4 targets in 3 separate banks don't score. Which means you can't get more than the 2x bonus. It seems that those things are all related somehow. Any...

Hi, my Sinbad pinball is not working. It seems like it should be something simple. When it starts up, all of the lights come on and everything acts like it is working. I can give credits by pushing the lever...and then when I push the start button it makes the sound like it does when it starts...
