  1. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Well, I got a battery holder in and I still don't seem to be advancing any. I still can't get the game to get out of the factory settings options and into a normal mode when you just turn the game on. I think part of the problem stems from the AUTOUP and AUTODOWN program buttons. I don't think...
  2. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Thanks, I'll go get the AA holder at radio shack then.... Was gonna buy both but they were out of the it ... They did have a 4 battery AA holder, does that matter if its 3 or 4? Marilyn and Pinbot and the 2 entry ramps are on that 1J8-4... right beside the one I was having problems...
  3. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Well, I fixed it for the moment. Pulled out the 1j8-5 black*green wire and hooked the wire up to a terminal connector that had a small hole in the flat part of the connector. Slid the new connector over the pin on the board and modified it a little so to make sure it didn't touch the other...
  4. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Well, I figured out my problem... Right below the batteries where they corroded... it leaked onto this connection on 1J8-4 and 1J8-5 Tried cleaning them and sliding it in and out but doesn't work. Does get it if I angle it but then I lose lola pinbot and the ramps.... :) I guess I just...
  5. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    They are loving it.... Might be keeping them from some homework when they get hom. Got the LED in and it works just fine. Hooked it in easy enough. I lost the things that I gained last night tho.... When I started it up they work, now they dont. Looks like in the Switch Matrix Table the they...
  6. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll need to learn to clean stuff better. Can't wait for the LED to come in tomorrow. Kids are loving playing pinball for the first time in their lives.
  7. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Ok what's going on now????? Still waiting on the led and haven't had time to mess with the game so I go downstairs to start it up for the kids. Pinbot and Lola targets weren't working for a while but then they did after they played it for a while. Then I hear the kids yell, the right side...
  8. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Gorbi problem was a spring that wasn't attached. Now to get drac and the ball lock working. LED will be here Thursday. Could have ordered all the rubber rings if I would have looked I'm the manual. They of course list them all. Kicking myself for not getting them with the other order
  9. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    I'll have to put the tilt lever back in soon enough in my case :) 9-12 yrs old Ordered 2 of these switches with my order of the LED. They were only $6 a piece and they looked like they might be what I need... I hope they are the right ones Would have ordered all the rubber rings too but they...
  10. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Thanks... I will try it and see if they are ok.
  11. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Watched this long video, and the lock ball on the right catapult definitely doesn't know that it is there. Same for Drac on the left... sensor definitley doesn't know its there Not sure which sensor/spinner activates gorbi. I've shot it up there on the right and not gotten him when he's lit...
  12. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Yes, Do I use it very much, No. :) I can take instruction tho. Is it possible that the display is working but something else is wrong. I took down the main LED display and it looked like some of the back solder points were corroded or gone. Heres the catapult switch. Don't know why you...
  13. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Any simple suggestions on how to adjust it? New to this. I was just also saying that I can't get Gorbie to work either, even when you hit the Gorbie spinner really fast. Thinking that needs adjustment too. Thanks
  14. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Yea, its definitely doing the ball search thing. Lock on the right side must also need adjusting. It takes even longer. Gorbie needs adjusting too, spinner won't activate him when he's lit. Looks like I have a lot of work and learning to do. Always open to more advice. :) Hell my kids were...
  15. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Ok, I'm stupid... The reason it kept shutting off was because the plumb bob tilt was almost always activated.... I took it out and now it seems to be playing fine... game play issues... Can't seem to activate dracula even when its lit... ball goes into that slot but doesn't do...

    http://www.pinscore.com/products/pinball-displays/16-ps-12232-r1 Thanks so much.... Looks like this is the one that I need. I think... My Manual say p/n D-12232-2 I looked on youtube and saw how to do the battery holder.... Hope I dont screw that up... take off the CPU board (lots of wires...
  17. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Thanks Gib.... Yea, watching him do that in the video, looks like thats exactly where I am except for the display. I'm totally new to messing with these. What do I need to get or do to check if they are getting the right power or something else to get the display to work?
  18. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    wow... all that time thats all I had to do to get it running. Turning it on and off kicked the ball out and allowed me to get started. Lights came up and you could put a quarter in to make it play. Once I put a quarter in, it did start and the lights came up (except the scoreboard) and I...
  19. Don't know where to start... taxi machine

    Traded for a Taxi Pinball machine a while back and have never gotten around to fixing it. After it sitting for some time, I need some advice on where to begin. Turn it on and you get some kind of diagonostic beeps as shown in the video. I can click the advance button and it will let the...
