    Funhouse ...Game Over

    If the game basically appears to reboot then it sounds like a watch dog timer reset is happening. A short would be my guess. IIRC there's a 905 bulb that shares/occupies the 12 o'clock insert space. More than likely as soon as power lights that bulb it's shorting out causing the reset. Grounded...

    What's a great 1st Pin to invest in ?

    And you'll learn real quick the average "Joe" doesn't understand pinball. So the more complicated the less likely they are to enjoy it. But if it were me I would NEVER buy a pin to appease anyone but myself. Nothing worse than owning a game that you don't play but keep it because everyone else...

    Revenge From Mars No Sound

    If everything works then I'd suspect the PRISM card which those cards are infamous for being crap and is why NUCORE was invented. Not much help there for you. You could have a bad U109 on thsi PRISM card. Or it's possible if the previous owner either swapped in the SWE1 pf and the chips. Or the...

    What's a great 1st Pin to invest in ?

    LOTR is one of the deepest rule set games you can buy. It will flat out piss you off to no end because of how hard it is. Very few people have made it to Valinor. I've had mine for ~3 years now and have yet to see Valinor. But this is a GOOD thing. It will keep you coming back time and time...

    WOZ Who's getting one?

    I'm not on the WOZ list either. The theme is a classic and timeless theme but I think it's just an awful theme for pinball. And for the JJP cheerleading squad, c'mon you mooks you haven't even played it yet let alone ever owned a JJP. This is NEW so the claims of Jack knows bla blah blah is...

    price check Addams Family

    Normally I wait for newbies from the area to post some ridiculous prices but I must say - well done sir well done. A decent TAF is going to run $3K+. TAF is indeed an immortal title that is not only a so called TOP 10 or A list game but it's also one that continues to increase in value (unlike...

    Price Check: Ripleys Believe It Or Not

    Forget looking directly at eBay. That is the worst thing anyone can do. Pinpedia.com logs FINISHED/SOLD pins and gives you a general idea of what the market is willing to yield. The only fault is it doesn't give you an idea of actual physical condition. For me personally I take each price and...

    *TECH* Family Guy flipper buzz

    Assuming the coil stop is in good shape, flipper buzz can be greatly reduced (almost eliminated) by removing the coil stop bracket, put it in a vice and bend it so it leans more towards the coil.

    My grail just got listed... BUT DANG

    Actually having a person quote eBay gives you the upper hand. Hopefully you didn't miss this golden opportunity. Send him this link and tell him these ARE ACTUAL eBay prices and you're willing to pay fair market value. If it's as nice as he claims and you pay the average eBay price - that's a...

    Score display problems

    HEader pins can become oxidized over time and even loose. So if you ever so slightly flex the molex connector does the display change? I'm not really a System 6 person, but I would recommend you start easy and unhook one display at a time. You can have one bad one causing the others to...

    AC/DC Pinball by Stern - Official Thread!

    And people will gladly step right on up and pay the price setting the stage for a new "normal" price range for Stern. This is bad for so many different reasons and on different levels. Resellers need to NOT order this machine and force Stern to lower his prices. But no one has the fortitude...

    EPROM Burner quesiton.

    Since this is most likely for your employer then I highly recommend the Superpro 3000u. My only complaint is it doesn't support a 64bit OS. Other than that the software interface is excellent and I have yet to be screwed by this machine in well over 200+ burns. She's rock solid. FWIW I...

    AC/DC Pinball by Stern - Official Thread!

    Ya'll can complain about the price but here's the way I see it. JJP is charging these prices. So ole Stern is thinking, "Well hell if these saps are willing to pay that up front for a company with no previous record then I'll surely get away with it." Could I be wrong - well of course I...

    Data East Magnet Board Repair Last Action Hero Guns n Roses

    I just supplied a huge writeup the other day detailing the "how to fix" this board amongst other common issues with LAH. The only reason I bring this up is if the auxillary driver board blows fuses you will be miles ahead to just replace all 3 mosfets whether the fuse is blown or not. Not to...

    AC/DC Pinball by Stern - Official Thread!

    What surprises the ever living hell outta me is this was supposed to be Steve Ritchies "OMG - jaw dropping - slight fecal leakage from the anus" return to pinball and I couldn't be any more dissapointed by this. Well I could but not by much :p Yes, in all fairness the game play could be just...

    Last Nights Pick Up

    I own a LAH as well. That game is a mechanical nightmare. FIRST THING ENSURE PROPER FUSES ARE USED Here's what I would bet money on that you'l find. If all some or all magnets don't work or blows fuse F9 or fuses on magnet power board: Disconnect the aux driver board found mounted...

    Routing new front panel for Williams pin?

    I also have a FH and LOVE it. It needs a new PF which I'm NOT looking forward to that one. My cabinet is prolly an 7 out of 10 but I really want to do a 100% resto on it. New pf, new targets, new ramps and such. It's a crap ton of time and money but it is sooo worth it for this game.

    Routing new front panel for Williams pin?

    Using a router to cut the recess is easy enough to do. Set the proper depth and chew it off both sides. For the angled edge that'll take a couple times on a table saw. Start off setting the table saw degree at much much less of the needed angle . Rip both sidess and attempt to see how it fits...

    AC/DC Pinball by Stern - Official Thread!

    I dunno guys and gals. What really ruins a music oriented pin for me is just WHAT kind of rules/modes can a music pin really have? Think about this. Get each member to the show? Start angus guitar solo? Start drum solo? OR make modes off songs like fire the cannon, or engage high voltage or...

    Pinball light bulbs.....

    If you're in a big hurry those bulbs can pretty much be bought at NAPA or any other automotive store "assuming they're in stock". That game has 555, 44, 906 and there's one other type on that game that eludes me. I think it's an 80 something. MATCH those numbers DO NOT let those people sell you...
