Slingshot switches on F-14 Tomcat not working

[jehuie]

I was too. I removed 2 large pieces from my Revenge From Mars and I'm happy I did. I just used the freeze spray method and went slow. It worked like a charm. After cleaning/polishing/waxing I put 2 1" diameter mylar dots where the ball falls through the ramp on to the playfiled to avoid a damaging that area.

How far are you going with your machine teardown/clean/polish wise?

I haven't decided yet. Right now I just think I'm going to play it for a bit and then revisit cleaning it all up. The freeze spray...is that just the air can that you use to blow dust out of computers and such? I have a few cans of that. How much does it take? Any hints on the process?

And ok...it was just a fuse. I had checked the fuses but didn't notice the one waaaay down on the bottom under the playfield. It was blown. Replaced it and all three switches/solenoids started working.

The freeze spray is the dusters. It takes quite a bit. Look up mylar removal on youtube. Metahugh has a nice vid of the process.

At least it was easy............. darn fuses anyway. - Barry
