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

WTB: Stern Flight 2000 Pinball Machine (F2K) ESisson 06:20:33
 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.

Re: Almost epic evening of pinball at SS Billiards Lloyd Olson 06:18:25

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.

When I got my Capt. Card this year it was missing the counter.
It did not ship from the factory with a counter. (I bought a Capt. Card
new back when I was an operator.) You'll need to find a suitable place
to make the connections. Ideally, you would add a pair of contacts to
an existing relay.

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......

Re: Elvira modesty patch TheKorn 05:23:45
 PB Dave <dstllfshng@aol.com­> wrote in news:3952e118-a470-­4e59-a453-
c2c2eb698933@t18g20­00prt.googlegroups.c­om:

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

Tech: Bally Squawk & Talk in EBD Gruntcake 04:20:36
 I'm restoring my 1981 Eight Ball Deluxe and am working on the S&T
board. It's only got a couple of sounds and no speech but gives 5 LED
flashes on bootup.
The board in my machine had apparently been sourced from a Flash
Gordon to make up a complete boardset for me - thanks and no thanks.
I've programmed 2 x 2732s and 1 x 2716 and changed jumpers as per the
link from the Marvin guide.
My question at this point - is U10 (AD558) needed for EBD because my
S&T doesn't have one ?
Also , what amplitude of analog signal should I see on a CRO at TP9
(the TMS5200 output) ?

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.

which has you peering into a small viewer in order to drop, well,
atomic bombs, on the cities scrolling beneath your crosshairs. Yikes.

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
