A couple of months back I acquired a Midway Sportsman and am just now finding the time to clean it up and get it working. Once I actually make some progress I'll start a thread in the restore area showing pics and updating that as I go.
At this point I've found my first problem, a gear with plenty of missing teeth on the Diagonal Duck Assembly. Searching around it was suggested that flippers.com might be a place to try to find it. I sent an email and am waiting to hear back but thought I would try here as well - so does anyone have any Midway EM parts? At this point what I'm looking for is Part# 17-42-70 Gear 24P 24T.
I'm also working on troubleshooting the sound - the motor turns and a tape is present (not sure if correct one or if anything is on it) but I'm not sure if the pre-amp is working - anyone know of a quick way to test this? I do hear the gun fireing when the trigger is pulled but not sure if the two audio areas are connected or not.
Also, the backglass has some serious paint loss in the upper right area - I know it's probably a long shot but does anyone have one for sale? Or even just a list of parts someone may have available for this game?
And just to add to a subject brought up in another thread, the recoil works but I'm not sure how weak\strong it should be - right now it feels weaker than an air gun - anyone have a description about what it should "feel" like?
