    Simpsons PCB - EPROM 12c Tests BAD, game resets.

    Ok, so I am getting a bad test result on 12c when I boot up the game. The board worked fine up until this point. All other games work in the cab fine. The game will keep running the self test over and over flipping the screen vertically on half the tests. I have done some searching and I...

    CarnEvil WG with Red Tint

    I just picked up a CarnEvil that is giving me trouble. The game worked great for the first half hour I had it home and then in the middle of play the screen tinted red. The picture is still visible and the drive and bias for all the colors seem to still be working. I just can't remove this...

    CarnEvil Gun Problem

    Having a weird problem with a CarnEvil I just picked up. It was working great for the first half hour, then in the middle of gameplay the screen turned to a red tint and the guns stopped responding. Even after several restarts and reseating every connector I can find in the cabinet, I still...

    Hantarex Polo Verticle Size trouble

    I have a Mortal Kombat 2 with a problem with the verticle display. I have had this game for years and this problem started recently. No matter how far I adjust the verticle amp pot, the image is vertically a bit larger than the screen (things at the extreme bottom and top are cut off). Still...

    New Alvin G. Mystery Castle pics.

    I recently acquired this title after a few years of searching! I spent the first few days with it partially torn down so I could fix the lock diverter in the back and wax under the ramps. Still working out a few minor gremlins, but she plays like a dream! I had seen this game a few years...

    TECH: Alvin G's Mystery Castle

    I just picked up a nice Mystery Castle after searching for a painfully long time. The game seemed to work great at first, but I've found a few intermittent issues. This is my first experience with working on an Alvin G, so I was hoping maybe someone could point me in the right direction...

    TECH: Black Hole coil stuck, HELP!

    I had the lower playfield upkicker coil burn up on my BH. I replaced the coil, but it remained unresponsive. I then moved on to the playfield mounted transistor that controls the coil. Upon replacing it the coil is now back to remaining stuck on as soon as I turn on the power. Is this a sure...

    Help with TZ opto problem...

    I was working on trying to get a single non-working opto going by installing a new opto board. Now am having trouble with almost every opto in the game including the hour optos in the clock. I haven't been able to figure this out. The 12v is getting to the opto board. I am able to trigger...

    TECH: Kickout on Gottlieb EM

    I am having some trouble with the 8-ball kickout hole on my 1973 Big Shot. There is a single leaf switch that detects the ball, which seems to be working (scores correctly). Normally, the ball is ejected by the kicker after a single score, but instead it just sits there and keeps scoring. The...

    Question for Scared Stiff Owners

    Had this in a different thread, but thought to move it here... Could someone with a SS take a look at their spider hole popper for me? I need to know if there's any type of metal wall in the middle of the 'cup' on the assembly (where the ball falls into). I'm missing this assembly, but have an...

    WTB - Scared Stiff Spider Hole Popper Assembly

    Looking for the scoop for the spider hole kickout, preferably with the coil. Part no. A-20716. The previous owner stuck in a popper assembly from AFM (A-20573) which I'm planning to modify so it loads the ball into the Boney Beast if I can't find the correct part. It's also available for...

    TECH: Black Hole resets

    I am having trouble with my Black Hole pin lately. It started with resets after extended operation, but now the resets have become more frequent. I am not a sys80 expert by any stretch, but all the solder on the power supply connectors has been reflowed and looks good. I have noticed that the...

    Just Picked Up SCARED STIFF! Question...

    Just snagged a nice SS! I was in the market for one for quite some time. It seemed like every time one would come up in my area it was $3300+. I was finally lucky enough to get a very clean and unworn example for a price a could afford. http://www.tristatechapter.com/arcade/ss1.jpg...

    What Horror Themed Pin Has The 2nd Deepest Ruleset?

    What Horror Themed Pin Has The 2nd Deepest Ruleset? I have been looking to add another dark/horror themed pin to the lineup for some time. I have been looking into SS or maybe BSD. Not a big fan of Addams Family. I already have a TZ, which I think is definitely the deepest horror pinball...

    Best 4-way Joystick?

    I have a 48-in-1 multicade that I built a little over a year ago. I installed a brand new 4-way joystick that uses cherry microswitches and springs back to center position. I've found that I still have some difficult getting precise movement in many of the games, i.e. in Donkey Kong or Burger...

    WTB: 150w Ultimate Power Supply (Dynamo Cab)

    I need one of these for a Dynamo HS-5 Upright arcade cabinet, new or used so long as it works. This has an/on off switch mounted on the side of the power supply. Like this one at Happ: http://www.happcontrols.com/powersupplies/80001500.htm I'd rather not order through Happ though because of...

    TECH - TZ Mini-Pf Top Opto

    I am having some trouble with the opto at the top of the mini-pf on TZ. Switch 75 - Defeat the Power. I checked the voltages and assumed an opto had failed as I'm not having trouble with any other optos. Today I installed both a new transmitting & receiving opto only to find that it did...
