working preferred, but doesn't even need to be working, just can't have been hacked previously.

title says it all.

a friend of mine bought a house which has a hercules in the basement. things are freakin' huge! pic attached - my son standing next to it is about 6' tall. it mostly works - one sticky flipper and a few bad switches, and is cosmetically in decent shape (and has the topper). what are these...

have a friend who bought a house, and the basement was a man-cave with a bunch of pinballs and arcades in it. unfortunately, she didn't call me until after the estate sale, during which most of the good stuff got snagged, i gather. i did get a slugfest in great shape for cheap, but the other...

my Data East JP plays fine for about 10-15 minutes, then all the special solenoids (ball eject, auto eject, knocker, saucer ejects, diverter, scoop eject, VUK) start randomly firing. not the bumpers, slings, or flippers, just the others. looking at the circuit diagram, it looks to me like it...

just bought a sorcerer. real project, as the cabinet and playfield are in sad shape. but the boards look pretty good, except for one hacked connector. however, it won't boot up at all. the diagnostic LED shows 7. the only reference to this i could find was on ed cheung's system 9 page...

from: http://www.esquire.com/features/megan-fox-photos-interview-0213 "The room, which has the feel of a finished basement, is packed with pinball machines and Lord of the Rings and Star Wars memorabilia. Darth Vader stares down from a poster on the wall. A life-sized model of R2-D2 keeps watch...

moved from the sticky - mods can remove my post there if needed. so i've had this DK3 sitting in my garage for more than a year now, waiting for me to fix the monitor on it (after a long saga back then of trying to get it fixed but only partially succeeding). so i finally got some time to work...

an LW3 has come up for sale locally. haven't had a chance to look at it yet - am going to try tomorrow. asking price is $850 with a non-working DMD. i can fix the HV DMD circuit if that's the problem (did it on my addams), and if it's the DMD itself i have a spare. but i'm not sure if $850...

any idea what these normally go for? http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/vgm/2831474568.html

my TAF went kaput in the middle of a game a couple of weeks ago, and i'm finally getting a chance to get back to it. when i turn it on now, i just get a single fart out of the speakers, and nothing else, totally dead. i've checked the fuses, and that's not the problem. so i'm about to dig...

my new whirlwind has a cellar kickout that is remarkably fast. i mean, *really* fast. you can't flipper catch it. you can't do much other than try to block it from draining by lifting the flipper and having it bounce back up, and in doing that you lose ball control entirely. this seems...

anything to watch out for on these machines? one came up locally for fairly cheap.

our local pinhead group is getting together at the end of this month, and we're considering what format to use for a tournament at it. i'm wondering what folks like or don't like about the various formats you've encountered at these kinds of events, remembering that it's mainly a social event...

so my cloud/backbox flashers haven't worked since i picked this machine up. it didn't take long to find out why once i started poking. see the attached pic. the red/white wire is just hanging there, hooked to nothing. the flasher under 'The Power' on the playfield is on the same circuit and...

addams slingshot plastics from little shop of games so, since i was ordering some board standoffs from Little Shop of Games (see the thread at http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=186629), i thought i'd order replacement slingshot plastics, since my right one (gomez) is broken so i...

I posted about this about a week ago, but have sleuthed a bit more since then, and thought I'd post in a separate thread (with more precise subject) to see if I could get some help. My TAF Swamp Release coil is stuck on on power-up. Here are the things I've done to try to fix it: 1 - Replaced...

i've been poking, but haven't found where i can buy the standoff posts that hold the small lamp board on a TAF speaker/DMD panel. see the attached pic, the red circled parts (well, ellipsed, but that's not really a word :)). anybody have a source for these? they're probably at the standard...

so the swamp release and thing eject hole solenoids stopped working on my TAF. they're on the same solenoid power circuit, just connect to the drive via different transistors. the paper on the swamp release coil had burn marks, the sleeve was stuck to the coil, and it was reading no resistance...

what size is the black bolt that goes through the side of the cabinet and holds up the playfield on an addams family? 3/8", 1/2", 11/16", other? the ones in there now are 3/8", and 3/4" long, but look like they aren't the right size (they're too short, and seem loose). also, mine is...
