    What Wax Do You Use?

    The CP-100 product at Starburst is essentially naptha, and it cleans with no abrasion. I find it leaves a very slight haze, so I always wipe over with a clean dry rag afterwards. I wax with Mother's Synwax (contains no silicone), and I'm happy with it.

    Help why can't I get the right flipper to run strong its new?

    With respect to the flipper slipping in the pawl, check to see if the pawl has fixed bolt (so that it can't rotate) or if it's just an Allen bolt. Sometimes, with the Allen bolt, you can be tightening the nut, but unless you're holding the bolt with an Allen key, the tightening of the nut is...

    Oh! That's gorgeous! If someone goes to that trouble, it's a pretty good indication that they haven't been careless elsewhere in the wiring...

    Ads that make you go "Hmmmm?"

    Yeah, 'pristine' and 'mint' are terms that seem to be used rather loosely... The pictures even the score though...

    I can't get over how clean it looks on the underside of the playfield! Can't wait to hear if the DT is plug & play! (Well... solder and play!)

    I reinstalled the board in the game and re-seated all the ribbon cables and all connectors, but the issue persists. Here's what the lighting issue looks like: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    tz issues

    If the main housing tab is the metal tab with the hole in it, I tested across that and TP8, and got a single beep, but no continuing beep. Does it have to be in the game, connected, or is it okay to test it removed, on the bench. I don't have a logic probe... Any recommendations? Sent from...

    Thanks again for your help Doug! I attached the negative lead to TP8, and used the positive lead on each point of the transistors. They all behaved the same, however, on each one, I got a constant beep on the emitter tab. Reversing the positive and negative, I got constant beep on all the the...

    Okay, so I took the driver PCB out of the machine, and tested the Q91-Q98 transistors (all are TIP107's), and to my untrained eye, it doesn't look like any one of them is very far off par. Thoughts?

    Does anyone get emails when they get messages?

    Yeah, it made everything work again. When logged in, there was also a banner stating that I didn't have sufficient privileges to post or view images. From, his posting on Pinside, I gather Brock is a little busy right now! Congratulations Brock! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    TZ Rom (For no ghosting LED's?)

    That's my understanding of ghosting vs. flicker. I bought non-ghosting LED's (warm white clear dome) from Pinball Life or CoinTaker, and they've been good. The LED OCD boards are awesome for bringing back the authentic look of bulbs, but keeping all the benefits of LEDs. I got my 9.4 ROM from...

    That's wild! I'm having exactly the same lighting issue with my TZ! I get a ghost-lighting, for lack of a better term, in another light in the particular column of the matrix. I'd appreciate any help with this too!
