Hello,
New member here. Just refound the addiction of pinball recently. The
bug hit me bad a few weeks ago after I was up in Toledo at a Holiday
Inn and they had Monster Bash. After 2 games I was hooked again and
spent many hours playing. I used to play a bunch up in Bowling Green
in the Early 90's but have only played a few times here and there since
then. So I am interested in buying a machine but first want to spend
some more time playing different machines so I know what I am looking
for if possible near Dayton.
So today I went on the hunt for a game or two near my home. I went to
many locations around Beavercreek Ohio with no luck.. Fairfield Mall,
Movie Theatres at Fairfield, Fox and Hound, Holiday Inn, Cee Cee's
Pizza, BW3's, Red Robin and I found a total of NO PINS. Are there any
public Pins in Beavercreek?
I also went to C's Pizza (on brandt) in Huberheights.. nada. Im
going to try a few other locations in the area such as Golen Cue that I
hear used to have a few machines. While over there I will check out
that Bowling Alley on Brandt. Any other locations in Huber? BW3s?
I hear other BW3s in ohio have some pins.
I tend to travel a lot and would love to know of locations for machines
in Columbus and Cinci also.. especially good games in good condition or
places with multiple pins.
Need to feed addiciton....

Re: Which Soldering Station do you recommend? Seymour-Shabow 01:44:11

This Weller one looks same as Radio Shack one, but not digital. But
it does have a bigger sponge..hmmmm. But it's more expensive too.
What ya recommend for a beginner with crappy soldering skills?

Digital is not necessary - I don't look at the analog numbers on my old
weller either, I just know that I like soldering at about 'that' point
on the dial (about 750).

I'm of the opinion that you solder at a higher temperature but for a
shorter time period. The longer you have to use the iron to heat a
joint, the more likely you will have problems IMO. (Lifted pads etc)

Boards in good shape with most joints I do at 750 (.100) - sometimes
bump it up a bit to a hair under 800 for .156. Desoldering I almost
always crank it up to 800-850. (This is with the vacuum solder de pullit)

I can't overemphasize tinning your tip and keeping it clean - biggest
difference in soldering properly.

WCS tech and a question John Wart 01:36:45
 I got my 'project' WCS going 100% on Sunday night and after playing it for a
couple days, have a question.

Is the magnasave supposed to 'swirl' around, or stop the ball dead in its
tracks? Mine swirls around, then flings the ball in a random direction.

I remember my Solar Fire would do the same as my WCS is doing, and made the
magnasave a 'double edged sword'

Of course, in SF the magnasave is on the outlane, potentially saving a ball
from a drain. On WCS, it doesn't seem to be in a drain friendly area,
instead it's right above the left flipper.

Will it really 'catch' a SDTM ball? I've had no luck yet, but my timing
could be off.

I played this game a ton on route and I'm guessing the magnet was unhooked
or didn't work when I was playing it, or maybe I didn't realize it was there
and just never used it - it's been years! So, I have nothing to compare to.

Or, is there some other use for the magnet I just didn't figure out yet?

Did any other games use the weird GI lamp pcbs like WCS uses?

I don't care what anyone says, this is Popadiuk's best game. Most fun of
them all!

Re: TECH replacing sling switch Lloyd Olson 00:09:58
 Look at the other side. They are wired in a group, the first one has a
diode, the next one that is jumpered to it - doesn't have a diode.

So if the one staying in your game has a diode, and the one you are
replacing doesn't - then just cut the diode off and wire it in like the old
one. LTG :)­

Ordered a new leaf switch for my sling on a Scared Stiff. The new
switch is a little different and just want to be sure it's a suitable
replacement. The new switch has a diod and the old one didn't. If I
can use this how do I wire it, does it mater which wire goes to
either side and which end of the diod? the one with the stripe or the
other end?

I heard from a VERY reliable source that the new Indiana Jones game
will come complete with a "Splash Effect". Apparently there is a mode
where you have to navigate some river rapids and when/if you crash you
are shot with water from the top of the backbox (kind of like
Whirlwind but with water).
Sounds Awesome! Check out www.pinballnews.com­ for more information,

Not bad, but it doesn't qualify the "good" barrier until you get some newb

Re: IJ - Post Rubber Color Preference Seymour-Shabow 22:19:13
 Metahugh wrote:
So what do you guys think on IJ for the post rubber bumper color? I'm
thinking about going all yellow getting rid of the black.
Hugh

I generally change to yellow if the shot is still ok - the yellow is
slightly bigger than the black. On shadow I had to put the black back
because it was affecting the ball coming out of the start mode hole. I
left the yellow where it fit though (although it makes the hole shot
harder.....)

You can also go red, although yellow is better for the color scheme of
IJ. You are going white rubber instead of black too to brighten it up?

Re: Untested Boards on Ebay Seymour-Shabow 22:15:33

So, I bought an untested WPC CPU board on Ebay. Turns out to have a

The ebay lexicon is as follows-

Untested=tested, and it tested bad.

Looks good=tested, tested bad.

Sold lots of these untested, and most of them worked=tested, tested bad.

Tested bad=tested, and it was bad, and blew up other boards in the machine.


I'd leave no feedback vs. neutral - their going to neg you for leaving
that with a reply saying "sold as is untested"

Tech: SM - Doc Ock kickout Slingshot 21:59:30
 I am still getting horrible bounce outs on the Doc Ock kickout hole. I've
taped the black absorption foam to the back of the curved metal piece as
I've seen recommended by some. Any solid shot from the left flip to the doc
still bounces out - near 100% of the time. Only a backhanded shot from the
right flipper stays put.

Do I have the foam in the wrong place (does not touch the wood on the back
of the hole). Other suggestions?

OK,
Fair enough and understood on the collector issue, it's just that I
was going to buy his Whirlwind game when he was done shopping it out,
now I may think differently on the matter. The solenoid test does not
fire the plunger and I don't see any broken wires under the playfield
so where would I look for a blown fuse for the autoplunger?

-------------------­-----------------


When you inspect the wires to the coil for the plunger, give each wire a
very light tug. The wire has memory and even disconnected it can look like
it is connected to the lug.

Refer to your manual for the fuse for that solenoid.


-------------------­----------


As far as
the ramp goes, it goes up without a problem it's the going down that's
the issue. When you run the solenoid test on the ramp up and down it
will finally go down after it clicks a bunch of times. Can you
lubricate the mechanism perhaps?


-------------------­--------------


With the power off and the playfield up, find the ramp lowering/raising
assembly. The bracket that holds the switch and the solenoid, if not bent
correctly, can cause the plunger to throw too far and causes the lift arm in
the ramp to go too far into the wedge formed by the ramp and the arm gets
stuck in there. You want to bend the bracket slightly so you do not get so
much throw on the plunger and it does not go so deep. You have to bend
either to the right or left--I don't remember off hand which it is. You are
trying to shorten the throw of the plunger so the arm doesn't go so deep
into the ramp/doesn't drive the ramp so high.
