A friend of mine and I are staying at the Four Points Sheraton in San

Raphael Friday night. Not sure how close this is to the show, but I'm

wondering what the "neighborhood" is like. Any cool bars or

restaurants in the area? Movie theaters? We missed the show last

year, and we missed CAEX this summer, so we're really looking forward

to this show.

The horseshoe switchblades on the back of Williams drop targets break

or the circuit board they make contact with gets dirty causing no

reset issues quite often. Also, wires connected to the boards break

quite often. Williams changed switch design about the time your game

was built. However, I'm not sure what switch method is used on

Scorpion.

I just picked up a Medusa and am wondering what the current value is.

I've been out of the loop for a few years and am wondering how many

dollars I should put into it or just sell as is. Thanks so much.

Backglass- Along the bottom few inches of silkscreen there is a 2 inch

square chunk of paint misssing and some lifting as well. Top 90 %

looks great.

Displays - Upper and lower All functioning

Cabinet - Actually pretty decent. A few scratches here and there.

Backbox - Sides look ok, Some flaking around front of wood frame. Top

has no paint and is down to bare wood.

Playfield - All original drop targets and bumper caps. Playfield looks

really good. 99% or more of the art still intact however it looks

very dry and very little shine. Small amount of flaking above left

sling.

Mechanical - Some lights out, All solenoids function, zipper flippers

work.

Sound - Does not work. I hear speech when pressing button on the

board, but nothing in gameplay.

MPU - Works, but looks repaired many times over and battery is

starting to decay.

Coin Door - Great shape. Missing diamond Bally sticker. Light sockets

missing.

My independance Day wants to activate the solenoid to shhot a ball

into the shooter lane about 4 times in a row without there being any

balls in that area to shoot into the shooter lane. It will then

spuratically keep doing it off and on. Any ideas? Batteries are

good.

Should I prime the inside of my cabinet before painting it or just lay

the paint on?

This weekend will be both my first trip to the Expo and my first trip

to Chicago. I'm dying to try real Chicago pizza! Does anyone have any

advice on good restaurants or pizza places near the Westin? Thank you!

I am trying to replace the three leaf switches on my WH2O's jet

bumpers. The manual lists them as SW-11A-37 and I found them in

several places and ordered three of them.

Now, of course, these are not the same switch and they do not fit

(stack is too thick) in the bracket that attaches to the playfield.

But, they are the same part number so now I am at a loss on what to

do. I am getting tired of ordering things with vague pictures over the

internet and they arrive and don't quite fit (sorry, tiny frustrated

rant, had to get that out). Has anyone replaced these switches? Which

switch did you use? Is there a different switch that will work? Please

help!

Thank you,

Reed

I just sent a note to Robert Winter, but he may be at Expo and I

thought I'd try the group too. I bought the multi color LED mod for a

SS a just picked up. I got the LED's in to the skulls OK, but can't

for the life of me find the connectors (Red and Yellow) to hook them

up. Are they just unused connectors under the PF or behind it or

where? I'm wondering if the previous owner may have banded the

connectors together with other wires underneath trying to clean things

up. Any guidance on where they are or pictures would be great.

Thanks,

Hogey

if you are looking for bulbs, ie 555 or 47's I use http://www.superbri­ghtleds.com

1/2 the cost of most pinball stores. Why pay $1.50 when you can get

the same buld for .60? I'd bet they're buying from the same source!!

Someone broke the glass top on our Joker Z pinball machine (Williams

Electronics). We are going to call our local glass company, but does

anyone have any guidance on replacing the glass - things to know via

prior experience?

Thanks,

Does anybody know if the CV neon transformer is the same as the SWep1 neon

transformer?

I see Bayarea carries the CV but doe not mention that it works for the

pin2000.

I have tested the tube on a regular neon transformer and it works. I also

have just over 12v(13-14v) at the connector to the tube. There is no

mosfet or other transistor that drives this. It's done straight out of a

Uln2803? Brn/wht wire traced all the way and compared to the schematics.

so I deduce it needs the transformer.

any help greatly appreciated. virtual beer coming to all responders. ­
