What are the issues with YOUR pinballs right now?

[Dr_Gonzo]

LAH: VUK ramp came loose so readjust it so the crane hits it right.
Figure out why VUK came apart *broke under pf?*
rebuild magnet boards and hope that fixes the issue.
Replace tons of bulbs and clean!

SF2: flipper issues, need new driver board, need motor for flipper, and a good shop job.

Not pinball:
Skeeball: Figure out which sensors are dead and replace, buy new balls, repair shelf damage.

Hey just last night I reattached my VUK and the crane is hitting it low. It kind of tries to slide up the angled wireform but can't make it all the way to the switch. I don't really see much adjustment there. I thought at first that the front side of the VUK needed to be attached underneath the plastic that is there, but IPDB pics show it on top of the plastic. I thought that 1/8" would lower it enough to get the crane to dock but I need to think this over more it seems.

As far as your VUK broke under the PF, there is a metal standoff about 4" long that screws into the PF. The plastic sits in top, and then the front screw of the VUK is mounted to it. It may have come unscrewed from the PF.

The crane is supposed to slide under that piece sticking out from the yellow ball trail. My back screw came out of the ball trail so that's what my issue is.

The VUK issue: The plunger part that shoots the ball up actually broke lol. For some reason the VUK keeps firing twice so have to figure that out also.

LAH: Keeps saying, "I'll be back" over and over. Quite annoying. Have purchased new sound roms, but have yet to install them. Going to check voltages this weekend.

My MB and MM have some switch issues. Nothing major, just need to find the time and motivation to fix this.

having coil issues on my LW3. Haven't had time to mess with it and plan on devoting time to it this weekend to figure out what's wrong with them. Already replaced both of them so now need to do some more digging.

Im currently pulling my hair out on a twilight zone. When I bought it the optos wouldnt read the ball going onto mini playfiel and a few target were out. Board had corrosion and atari jim fixed and that fixed that problem, well put back together and now once you lock balls for the jackpot and multi ball they wont come out in multi ball or when you hit jackpot the ball stays.
all switches work in test mode with finger and with ball. replaced connectors and have changed all boards from another machine and does the same thing. The upper and lower playfield opto's arent working now either but dont think it could have anything to do with multi ball mode? The say it is probably a bad solder connection, broken diode or a broken wire. I dont know. I bought about 2 months ago and am ready to go nuts! I cant figure this out. It was my 40th b-day present and cant even enjoy it. any ideas on where the problem could be? anybody ever have this problem. Im almost to the point to trade for 2 of the 3 pins on my trade list (lol)

I'm finishing up a shop job on a Street Fighter 2 for a friend.

I need to start my Hook project. Will need just about everything done to it including a cabinet repaint.

Twilight Zone: Its in pieces, has been for the past 3 years now. It's been sitting like this for the past few months:

After these are done I need to swap a new clearcoated playfield into my Stern Spiderman.

Shipping would be about as much as the game is worth SilverU.

On my Taxi, Gorbie, Santa, and Drac have quit talking to me. (Translated: speech problems - Pinbot and Marilyn are the only passengers that talk at the moment, and I can't figure out whats wrong..)

The bell in my cabinet needs a new coil. My departure ramp cracked a few days ago, and now the ball wont go up the ramp properly. My Marilyn opto board seems to be posessed and I just reflowed solder to all the pins two weeks ago. And my playfield REALLY needs a touchup.

Aside from those somewhat minor issues, it plays great!

WWF RR (on location): The right VUK to the upper pf isn't registering. And for some reason it's giving 3 games for $1 (instead of 2).

I think I'm sometimes getting a phantom switch hit for the right ramp opto on WPT.

Other than that, everything is glitch-free!
