    Does polarity matter on leaf switches?

    Howdy, Does it matter which wire, signal or ground, is put on which end of a leaf switch? I am trying to fix the rapid fire on my Galaga. It worked before replacing the wiring harness but now it doesn't.

    Galaga wiring - Where is "common ground"

    Hello, I sent in my boards to be refurbished and when they came back my machine did not work. It didn't work before, either, but it had worked in the past. The machine powers up and goes to demo mode but does not have any sound. It does not coin up, nor does it play in free play mode. I have...

    Galaga crashes

    I hosted a baby shower tonight and I was entertaining the husbands upstairs. I turned on my Galaga which hasn't been on in a while, possibly months. After a while I came back and I noticed that the grid which briefly displays during POST was showing. I don't know if anyone had been playing the...

    Free 19" monitor items - Houston

    Hello, I have a monitor harness from a 19" Vision Pro monitor (brand new and presumed working, I broke the tube while installing it). Also, I have a semi-working G07 with some burn-in. I call it semi-working because the red flakes in and out. It's probably a solder connection. This monitor...

    Gottlieb System 3 GI not working (Stargate)

    Hello, The playfield GI doesn't work on my Stargate machine. It used to, however. I checked the fuse which protects that circuit and I checked the T relay. Both are good. On my multimeter, continuity seems good between the various GI lamps. I've also tried running a wire directly from the...

    Stargate: glidercraft trouble

    Hello, I've posted this on RGP but no one answered. When I power on my Stargate machine and also when I start a game, the glidercraft operates briefly when it should not. Then when I enter glidercraft mode, it does the same thing, the pyramid opens and the glidercraft operates briefly then...

    Quick disconnects for coin doors: uninsulated ok?

    Hello, I'm wiring up a coin door and I've lost my packet of insulated quick disconnects. I've got plenty of the uninsulated ones. Are these okay, or should I go ahead and acquire some more insulated ones? Picture attached. Regards, Buddabing

    Galaga weirdness

    Hello, My Galaga boots up fine, but when a game is started the game will either crash, the display will mess up, or some other non-repeating anamoly will occur. Any ideas on what to check first when I open the machine? I had not played the machine in a couple of months when this happened. The...

    Coindoor currency conversion

    Hello, My Stargate pinball has a coin door that takes Deutschmarks. I would like to convert it to take tokens. The coin door is not the usual two-slot coin door, it has only one slot. Is it possible to get new pieces for the door so that it will take tokens? What parts should I look for...

    Cleaning rosin-based solder flux

    Hello, I've tried soap and water, isopropyl alcohol, nail polish remover, and WD-40. What can get the pesky stuff off without damaging my board? Turpentine? Paint stripper? Goof-off? TIA, Buddabing

    I broke my brand-new monitor

    Hello, I was installing a brand new Happ Vision Pro monitor into my Galaga when I heard the dreaded soft hissing sound of air getting into the tube. I must have broken the tube's neck hoisting the monitor into position. Would it be better to just get a new monitor or do a tube swap? Would...

    Galaga problems

    My recently-acquired Galaga machine has two problems. First, sometimes the red will go out after the game has been turned on for a while. The red will eventually come back on and stay on. My second and worst problem is that the sound is not clear. I've replaced the original power supply with a...
