Tech: Silverball Mania lamps at different brightness levels Hello all, I started to shop out my Silverball Mania. What I thought were burned out under playfield bulbs were actually very dim bulbs. Some of the bulbs are perfect and bright, others stay dim even when new bulbs are installed. I'd...

Hello all. I just picked up a Gottlieb North Star pinball machine at an estate auction which I would rate a solid 8 overall with a near perfect backglass. I never sell any of my machines but am curious as to what it's worth on the open market. I can't seem to find much sales info on other ones...

Does anyone have a new or used but working pair of displays for a Pinbot for sale? I only need one upper alpha-numeric and one lower numeric display. The other three are fine as is the display driver out of a known good. Thank you.

Hello all. My right front Road Show flipper had been sticking open. I felt the flipper when it stuck and it was definately energized, I could feel the force of the coil on it. I checked the spring and flipper aseembly, it was OK, no binding or worn spring. I put a multi-meter on the end of...

I have a few re-imports in my collection. I was curious if I could tell where the pins were originally shipped when new. Is the serial number or some other method possible to backtrack the history of the machine? Thank you.

I have seen a couple of posts that refer to the total number of plays on a machine. I don't know anything about this. For a Williams Sys 11 or WPC is this in the Audits adjustment or is there a seperate counter than maintains this number? I see the counter on my Gottlieb EM's but never saw one...

What language are pins programmed in to alter or customize a ROM?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good yet really cool way to light a gameroom? While the pins give off a lot of light on their own it isn't enough. I found normal bulbs to be blinding as well as taking away from the darker atmosphere for an arcade. I installed a lot of black lights but to...

I am about to ask a stupid question but can I replace a 12V 3/4 A slow blow with a 250v 3/4 A slow blow? Do fuses blow on amperage or watts?

I have never even seen this machine in person before but one is for sale within a short drive. I was going to go with a Demolition Man but Independence Day seems interesting. Aside from the ipdb entry there is only a single video on Youtube and it didn't show much. I'd appreciate if anyone could...

Can anyone comment to the normal amp draw during gameplay for a SS pin? I know the specs call out a maximum amperage usually around 8 amps if I remember, but I am interested in what the realistic draw is. Thank you.

Hello all, can anyone recommend a place to have a Star Wars PCB and ARII repaired. Please send a PM so I don;t miss it. Thank you very much.

I need to purchase a new center speaker for a Lethal Weapon 3 but do not see the impedance value in the manual. Can anyone advise? Thank you very much.

I just purchased my first Date East, a Lethal Weapon 3. The left side of the general illumination on the backbox does not light but the flashers work. GI on the right works as well. I checked for the obvious opens in the wiring and checked the fuses but didn't see a culprit. Since this is my...

Hello all. I just had the BR2 in my Road Show go out again. My ST:TNG also went through two BR2's this year. I can't seem to go more than 8 months without the BR2 failing, the machines are home use only. Is this common for those games or is there something else that could be prematurely killing...

Last night (Oct7) a working Bram Stoker's Dracula was listed on Craigslist in Pittsburgh for $500. The listing was removed in what seemed to be no time at all. Was it anyone here that stole it the minute it was posted? If so good job at moving faster than me!

I feel stupid to admit but in 15 years of collecting I had never heard of using naptha to clean a playfield. I have a playfield that needs a good cleaning so I am going to give the naptha thing a try. Will naptha hurt mylar or are there any other things I should be aware of? Thank you.

I purchased a known-good monitor with a new cap kit that was from a Nintendo VS machine. I installed it in my Donkey Kong not knowing there is some type of frequency adjustment that was needed, I thought it waould be just a simple monitor swap. I am not the best tech and have been struggling...
