Shrek question Michael Paris 05:44:45
 Does anyone who may have played it know if they still have the fart
multiball? I see it's changed from the Family guy instruction card to
the Shrek instruction card. Thanks

 How do you slide the cart under a game from the front with those wood pieces
attached?

I'm very pleased with my HF 500# cart. Very well made, all
considered. The only down side is that the cylinder release lever is
very close to the floor so rolling the cart over a door thresh hold
may cause problems.
Here's my modification. It's not so much a modification as add ons.
For the handle, I made 45 degree adaptors out of copper pipe fittings:
(1) 7/8" coupler
(1) 7/8" pipe 1 1/2" lg
(1) 7/8" 45 degree street elbow
(1) 7/8"-1" reducer coupling
Solder all together. The 7/8" end fits into the tube on the cart. I
added some duct tape to make the fit a little snugger. The handle
fits into the 1" end. I drilled through the 1" end for a simple
machine screw pin. It takes about 30 seconds to assemble to the
cart. No modification required on the the cart. With the handle at
45 degrees, the cart can easily be positioned near the machine center
of the gravity.
I use (2) 1x4's cross wise to support the machine from the side
rails. I added two counter sunk machine screws as cheep dowel pins so
as to position and lock the 1x4's on to holes drilled on the table.
Yes, the boards have to be places in position after the cart is under
the machine, however I find that it's not that big of a deal.

 I'm considering selling this game but will part with it only if the right
offer comes along. Now is not a great time to be selling games but it
doesn't hurt to test the waters a little. Not interested in trades at all.

This image on IPDB is actually my game:

http://ipdb.org/sho­wpic.pl?id=1652&picn­o=5524&zoom=1

I cannot get pictures of the sides of the game now due to its location in
the basement. But the left side is actually in better shape than the right
side. The head is as nice as the bottom.

Everything is original on the game and there have been no touch ups at all.
Reply to my email if you're interested or need additional pictures.

I looked at a Royal Flush over the weekend and was hoping to get an
opinion on the value of the machine. The backglass looked pretty
good, but with some little spots of paint missing. The playfield was
in very nice shape with some wear around some of the inserts. The
cabinet looked dirty, but may clean up nice. The machine is complete
and working 100%. Any opinions on the value would be appreciated, he
is looking to sell it, but not positive about a price. The guy who
fixed his machine told him it was worth about $1,500. Thanks in
advance.

It's not worth $1500..... the repair guy steered him wrong there.

Anyone need a WCS lower cab? John Wart 01:06:01
 I just switched my WCS cab out with a nicer one I picked up.

Cab is bare - just wood. Faded and 1 hole drilled for a hasp. No backbox.
Solid.

I lack space, so I don't want to store it.

It is free. It is in Columbus, Indiana

Re: EM TECH: Williams Gulfstream Ball Count Problem Gott Lieb? 00:40:57
 It could be the make break switch on the outhole relay or the switch
that controls the ball index relay on the score motor. This switch is
at cam 3 position B of the score motor.

The GI lamps not turning on until hitting the left flipper or pushing
the start button, (if there's credits), is normal operation.

I just picked up a 1973 Williams Gulfstream. Cleaned it up and it
works great with one problem - ball count unit never counts down!
Starts at five and will go up (game has add-a-ball features) but not
down.
Since I bought it, it was doing this intermittently (maybe once every
5-8 balls into the out hole would simply be shot back to the plunger
lane) I noticed this but was not a big deal. Well now it is doing it
on every single ball.
A few details (I have the manual and schematic and rate myself a B- on
repairs).
When out hole switch is hit, the Out Hole relay is energized and the
motor cycles with the ball being ejected to the plunger lane. All
the switches on the Out Hole relay look good.
The Ball Index Relay is not being energized. When I manually engage
this relay while the Out Hole relay is being energized the ball unit
will count down one ball.
Looks like the switches on the Game Over Interlock relay (which is
linked to the out hole relay) are OK.
When you start a new game the unit counts down to 1 and then back up
to 5 (you can see the Balls to Play lights on the back glass count
down then up).
Don't know if this is related at all but when you turn on the switch
on the bottom of the playfield the game (GI) lights go on. I seem to
remember when I first brought the game home that they would not go on
until you pressed the left flipper switch.
Thanks in advance for all the help from TEAM EM or any other citizen!
I will post what happens with the advice.

Re: Sealing a stainless steel coin door with triple thick- anybody done this? Cliffy 23:26:00
 Gottlieb doors weren't stainless steel. They are stamped mild steel with
a 'flash' chrome plating. Yes you can sort of protect it with a clear
urethane or lacquer but it will probably turn grayish. Steve Young still
sells new Gottlieb chrome coin doors for EM's.

I spent a considerable amount of time removing the rust from an older
Gottlieb coin door (stainless steel). I've got the thing looking
pretty good now, I'd like to preserve it if I can.
I'm getting ready to seal the backglass with Triple Thick and was
wondering if anybody has tried sealing stainless steel components
(coin door, plunger plate etc...) to prevent rust and corrosion. Is
this a bad idea?
Thanks!

Re: Gottlieb Genesis & Bally Strange Science Ruleset Gott Lieb? 23:21:20
 Genesis instruction cards are at Ken's Pinball Rebel site here:
http://www.pinballr­ebel.com/game/pins/i­nstruction/index.htm­. The rules
are to spell out the body parts by hitting their associated switches.
The other way to spot letters are via the drop targets and a full stroke
of the vari-target. Both of these features are operator adjustable,
depending how much you want the game to cough up, (spot one letter for
every body part or just one letter for one body part for the drops, and
I can't remember the different adjustments for the vari-target). Once
all of the body parts are spelled out, you have to hit the vari-target
with a full stroke to "reveal" the under PF figurine. Multiball is
achieved by completing one body part, and locking the ball in whichever
ramp is flashing. BTW, Genesis has the best use of a vari-target out of
any other GTB, IMO. It's not intrusive to the play of the PF, because
it's nestled in an area that's "out of the way". Plus, it plays a very
important part in spot letters much more quickly. It's a great game, IMHO!

Even though it isn't as good of a game, Cliffy will have to help out
with Strange Science. ;-)­ That's his baby. :-)­

Choice between NF, W?D and PZ? John 22:56:51
 If you had a choice between a NF, W?D and PZ, which would you choose.

I have a WCS94, JP and NBAFB and have enjoyed HS, SoF when I owned them if
that gives you an idea of my tastes. I have a T2 but tired of it quickly.

The W?D seems like a really fun and different game (just tried it in VP)
whereas PZ and NF would likely be a hit with my kids and easier to resell.
The NF seems wicked fast (never played one). The PZ sounds fun but would I
tire of the loud theme quickly?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
John

Did you verify the wire colors yet? I've plugged the connector in

Time to start over in the testing sequence, get your rectifier board
working first, then see if anything else burnt up. I always fix that
board first in a system anyway, otherwise you might have garbage
in=garbage out furthur up the boardset.

Systematic testing as always at marvin3m.com/fix

just hope he reads this thread. Between my GG and BH, I am a seem to

Read marvin3m.com in the system3-7 section on drop target problems -
you're describing a CLASSIC symptom of the series "all complete" switch
not working because of worn horseshoe contacts, worn mini circuit boards
on the drop bank, or both. If you didn't know there are 2 switches on
the drops - one for the "target is dropping NOW" switch - for scoring an
individual targets, and one for "all the targets are down" circuit....
which will trigger the reset. The programmers didn't have to do it this
way, but I think they did for possibly a couple reasons: Didn't want
switches "closed" in the matrix all the time which might cause problems
reading others, or there was not enough memory to 'remember' that target
already dropped.

Follow the marvin guide and you'll be fine. I prototyped a solution
that replaces the circuit with microswitches scavenged from a later WMS
unit, wiring these into the reset circuit, and using the original boards
for the drop circuit. Working great on my Tri Zone.

hi. i have a stern nineball. The machine boots and seems to run

reset rapidly. Where to check first?
It has a brand new Alltek board in it. The board was tested in a
powerplay and worked fine. obviously the configurations may be
completely different, so the problem may not show in the powerplay.
Being self-contained, i cannot try other rom revisions with the
alltek.
so is it the game, the rom revision, or the board? i know there were
60+ rom revisions and some had problems. could this be a known issue?
Any suggestions or comments welcomed.
