Terminator pinball Machine alan 10:30:21 |
| | HI,I have recently inherited a Terminator machine.Its my first time owning a machine and it came with no manuals.I am having a problem getting the ball to exit from below the playfield onto the firing chute. Its a hit and miss type of fault as sometimes it works and sometimes not.It might take 5/6 attempts to load the ball.If anyone had any suggestions as to how I might fix this problem I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks |

Guys, I have both of my right pop bumper lights out. First one at top right would light for a few reboots, then on maybe the third boot would pop the bulb, I could see it flash and die. Second on the lower right started getting ULTRA bright and staying that way for the last few days, and is now out. Bulb looks like it fairly violently blew: no black mark inside, but filament is in pieces. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Game is otherwise 100% Best, Matt

| | I know you guys think it's nuts but I've owned dozens of pinball machines over the years and my kids and I agree that "Blast Off" on this game is awesome! Simple, not flashy, but exciting in an early "1980's" way. I miss this machine and are looking a mint example of one if there is such a thing. Let me know if you can help.
Thanks.

Hope Beemus is reading. I had about the best night of pinball playing I've ever had at SS Billiards tonight. I was about a half inch in several cases away from it being super-duper-awesome. Still it was pretty good! I've only Battled for Kingdom once on Lloyd's MM. Tonight I had a couple good long games and I got it lit This was in a game where I only had 3 million at the start of my third ball. I shot at the castle from the right flipper to start BFK and the ball did that thing where it goes up and starts to turn the corner inside the castle, but runs out of gas and then comes right back and goes STDM to end the game. Heartbreaker! I shoulda yanked the game harder to try to save it but I wasn't thinking straight. So I ended with 169,000,000, which is a good score on his machine. Best score of the last six months is 185,000,000 or so. Then I went over to AFM. I've never ruled the universe on LLoyd's machine, and if you've ever played it you know how fast and mean it is. It's set to Hard, steep, and the outlanes are wide open. I lit RTU and missed about 6 shots at the hole before draining to end the game. 17 billion didnt even get me on the high score list. Bummer. I played another game and had a great first ball. Eventually I lit RTU while still in the extra balls I earned on my first ball. I started it on my second shot to the hole, and, of course, somehow managed to NOT complete RTU!!! That's only happened to me once before (I have an AFM.) So that sucked. But I still had some balls left so I kept going and got back around to where I just needed Super Jackpot to RTU again. I've never RTU'd twice in the same game, even on my own game. Well---- I started multiball but couldnt complete the super jackpot, and drained out my last two balls trying to get it started again. I ended with 36,000,000, which was good for 1st place on the score list. Paul Madison has GC with 90-something billion. What a night that would have been if I BFK'd and RTU'd. Even so I'm dang psyched about the evening. I am lucky to have such a good place to play so close to where I live. Thanks Lloyd! Chris

| Re: WTD: Total Play Meter for EM Frank R. 06:09:41 |
| | Add-a-ball games (at least Gottliebs) did not have a total play meter, simply because the amount of games played was equal to the amount of money in the cash box. Remember, no replays with aab's, therefore no need to adjust game parameters to make them easier or more difficult based on total games vs. $$ collected. All that aside, I do wish my aab's did have total play meters.

Interesting. The wire connections are present and are shown on the schematics with a dashed line. There are even (2) pilot holes in the bottom board to screw down the counter. The holes have not been used and there are no indents on the board to indicate that a counter was ever installed. flippy "David Marston" <marston@osmium.mv.net> wrote in message news:gbs1e6$2uhl$1@pyrite.mv.net...

| Hacking a Stern Rom (Orbitor 1) Seymour-Shabow 06:03:47 |
| | I dislike the minimum time feature on orbitor one which can be set from 90-180 seconds depending on some dip switches. Anyone know where I can hack it to default to 10 seconds instead of 90, etc. I'd assume there's some table of values that could be loaded - it couldn't be so easy to be 90120160180 in the rom ;) (goes off to check.....nope)
Unfortunately you can't turn this feature off......

Does anyone have a modesty patch for EATPM that they would be willing to sell? It turns out that one of my favorite parts of this game can be offensive to some people. One of my wives clients and her husband want to buy a pinball machine so I invited them over to play some games and see if they would be interested in buying one of my games. The man was immediately drawn to Elvira. His wife said she would not have that machine in the house. She said she would buy one of the other games, to which he replied "Honey its MY birthday and I want this one" They left and I didn't hear from them for several weeks. Then today I get a phone call at work and they would like to buy this game if I could get the modesty patch. They must have found the IPDB and learned of the patch. I have been trying to sell this game for a while, but no patch means no sale, so if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. All the patch ever consisted of was a piece of white plastic. I think you could whip something similar up with a piece of paper, some mylar, and exacto knife!
(Trace the outline with the paper on the glass and the game on so that it shines through. Cut out with x-acto. Mylar to the front of the translite glass. Done!)

| EM Tech - Space Mission coin unit Alan Estenson 05:17:53 |
| | Before I bought it, someone munged with the coin stepper unit in my Space Mission. I've got it all cleaned up, lubricated, and stepping/resetting properly now. However, I have a question about the single leaf switch on the unit. Does the pin on the stepper cog contact this switch at the reset position or at the max position? When it hits the switch, does it open or close it? I've studied the schematic, and can't seem to come to a conclusion.
Thanks,
Alan

| Pinball Magic Mark Teskey 04:06:18 |
| | Any other big Pinball Magic fans out there?
I came to a realization on Saturday afternoon that Pinball Magic is a game I've always underappreciated. I spent a little time getting to know it a little better at S&S Billiards on Saturday - what a fun game! It's got such a different feel than a lot of other games with it's really sparse playfield and all the 'cool stuff' jammed along the back. It's also neat how they implemented the theme with levitating pinballs, balls floating along the wand, etc.
Lloyd - it was great fun chatting with you, too - (I was the "train guy"). Sorry we had to beat a hasty retreat - but my wife, as much as she loves pinball, was ready to get home after a long day.

Getting the machine ready for league night next week and have some issues. 1) The catapult switch and one of the boat entry switches keep failing. I've re-soldered them, taken off the diodes to make sure those are ok, put everything back and then they work for a while, then a couple of weeks later when I play, one or both are not working again. If I wiggle the diode and other connections, then it usually works again for a while. Bad switch? Can I clean/fix that or do I need to replace it?
