Just got back from Expo and really had a great time. I wanted to

share these pictures with you. Larry DeMar, Cameron Silver, and

Duncan Brown signed out machines after the chat.

I really want to thank everyone for their incredible support.

It was also a real please meeting a number of people from RGP for the

first time. I would list names but there are way too many and I would

definitely miss some.

More later after sleep.

p.s. Don't drink with Aussies. It's a losing battle =)

I'm finding myself playing my 2 80's machines more than my 90's DMD's.

I have Space Shuttle and Grand Lizard. My newer games are MM, NGG,

WH20, T2, SM and LOTR

What top 10 80's games would you recommend?

I've had a Williams Delta Shuffle Bowler I have been trying to get to work for a while. At the end of each game it would not recognize the end of the 10th frame. It's been

years since I worked on it, I think that was the original problem.

I could see the stepper motor had a pin on it that was supposed to trip a switch. It wasn't.

So I removed the switch, went to radio shack and bought another. That was years ago.

Now I cannot remember where how the thing mounted. I can see the pin its supposed to trip but I do not remember at what point.

Anyone have pics of this or a similar stepper that I could check out? I have the manuals, and schematics. Doesn't tell me where or how the switch mounted.

Had this game for awhile, no problems with it, it was in immaculate

condition when I got it. Now however whenever you press the left

flipper button the power turns off and back on again (obviously

killing the game in progress). This is not intermittent it happens

every time.

Before I break out the soldering iron and start pouring over

schematics I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to

look.

Thx,

J.

Hi all, how do you remove the heat sink that covers BR1 and BR2? Can I

just reuse the heat sink or do I need a new one? How does it reattach?

TOP 3 didn't cover this.

Thanks

I don't really know anything about coils. Looks like I will have to

learn.

I understand the cabinet buttons are tungsten contacts. My lower right

flipper works great. Upper right is weak. Leads me to believe it's not

the button, correct?

That being the case, the upper right coil is foiled some how. It does

work, it's just weak.

What are my next steps?

Jeff

Hi, just got a new space invaders and the game boots and I get all the

flashes on the mpu. The problem is when I turn the games on the left

pop bumper coil triggers and pulls without releasing Heating it up

very hot. Also none of the other coils will work. Any insight guys.

Thanks Shaun

Replaced with new set still n/g.Where do i go from there?

Hi all,

I am thinking of getting a crane machine for my arcade. I figured

someone on here could pass some advice. Are these fairly reliable? Is

there anything I should be aware of? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I was going to post this at some point..

I was heading back to the Cape on Sunday when I was called into the

control center at Goddard. After diagnosis and some tests it became

clear that the science formatter on Side A has failed.

So now some major decisions need to be made. Can we fly the rest of

the mission (10 years) on just the redundant side? Do we hurriedly

prepare the ground unit for flight?

So I returned to the Cape to help out, and the stickers were mailed

last night from the Cape Canaveral post office.

Looks like our mission is postponed until next Spring 8-(. We need

to pull our hardware out of the Shuttle and go back into the clean

room here. Major work for everyone.

Anyone have a 100% Working Gameplan MPU 2 pcb?

Shoot me an email with price..

Thanks,

Rich

I'm picking up a Spirit of 76 soon but it is missing the lockdown bar.

Can anyone tell me if it uses the type with the pins or with the tabs?

Also if someone has a serviceable one laying around I'd be interested

in buying one. I don't care if it's all rusty underneath - I've done

my fair share of elbow grease on these EM's.

I'll also soon be in the market for a useable populated or unpopulated

Klondike playfield.

Thanks,

Dave

No pics yet, Game boots and plays with some issues. Needs gone

through. Boards and displays are nice. Cab is in great shape

structurally, but is faded. Programming keypad is there and working.

$250 firm. Worth that in parts alone.

I am a short detour from your route if you live in the East and are at

Expo.
