Yes, mine is quite yellow. I probably will pick one of those up soon. It looks like they don't have the switch I need, though. I'll email them to double check.
Tim's JOKERZ! thread

- Start date
I went in to Playdium Store to pick up my switches today. After a bit of soldering I installed the new switch, and would you know it, I have ball lock/multiball now. Although I only get a 2 ball multiball. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be two or three...
Either way, I managed to put up a 7 million+ score today. (much better than my pre-multiball score of 2 or 3 million)
I still have work to do on the playfield plastics, but at least it's (seemingly) 100% playable now.

Nice work Tim. Keep it up!
Thanks for the big assist at the Ottawa Pinball Show with taking scores and helping out so much for setup, strike and everything else.
Very much appreciated and the crowd loved it. Great traveling with you.
Thanks again!
Go for the new upper pf on Jokerz!

It's me who should thank you. I had a ton of fun this weekend, plus I learned even more than even I was expecting to.
We'll get together soon... I've looked over that board and have decided it's not something I should attempt. I haven't messaged Doug yet, but I will, and I'll bring it out to your part of the universe. Plus I can grab my sweet new R911 translite.
And I will totes grab that upper PF. Maybe I'll try to organize a group Pinball Life order in the next few days.
... one more game before bed, then I swear I'll turn it off ...
Just some gameplay. The game works well enough now that I need someone who knows the rules to come over and give me a schooling. I pay in beer and pizza!

Anyone know off hand how the jackpot is collected?

Thanks. My GoPro lives a humble life. It's not quite as exciting as the skydiving from the moon or shark wrestling that other people do with their cameras. :lol:Luckydogg420 said:
My buddy Mike was over last night before we went out. It was the first time I had both games up and running at the same time. It sounded like an arcade in here!
I'm impressed by how reliable Jokerz is. I just realized yesterday that I've not even had so much as a stuck ball since I've got it up and running a few weeks ago.

Good to hear Jokerz is up and happy Tim.
See, I keep saying Williams is the best. (Bally/Midway too) lol

Those Sys11s are built pretty solid...well, the GI power supply isn't (almost always cooked) but the rest of the platform is like a rock!
I had a few questions about how I should remove/replace rivets that hold the switches on my upper mini playfield, but before I finished writing my post I figured I should do a little research first. Who'd have guessed I'd find out what I needed to know. Some 4-40 pan head screws/nuts and a countersink bit should fit the bill nicely:

So instead of questions I'll instead post a picture of beer.
And for giggles, I figure I'd include the questions I was going to ask prior to doing a little bit of interweb sleuthing:

Always enjoy reading about your follies . Start buying machines made in the 21st century! No fixing .Just playing and waxing !
But fixing them is at minimum 50% of the fun for me!! But maybe one day I'll have a Dark Knight at home...luch said:

Speaking of Jokerz, the music in the game reminds me of this scene in an old episode of The Simpsons:

Last night I picked up my new UMP, and so far I am quite happy with it. I haven't tested it in place yet, but cosmetically it looks a heck of a lot better. The original decal still looks pretty great, although I may recreate one one day.
Here's a pic of it below the original one:
When I took the old UMP off I noticed there was a wire gate missing. That likely affected the scoring quite a bit, so I will be erasing the old high scores and starting from scratch.
I brought home some music wire to make up a new one. The small piece is the original, the larger one is a halfway-done new one.
I don't anticipate too much time for repairs today, but hopefully I'll have it all back together in the next couple of days.
