    Judge Dredd Deadworld Issue

    I am in no way an expert ... but if I was trying to troubleshoot it, I would be in test mode, and make sure none of the optos are stuck "on" and make sure each one responds when I break the beam. Once you find the one, it may just need an alignment or replacement.

    Looks like they over tightened my left ramp at the factory too much and it is cracked a bit at the screw, it is still working fine, but it is only a matter of time before it brakes. Anyone in the Ottawa area with a spare one for sale, please let me know Cheers Derek

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I had the joy of someone targetting our server for a DDOS attack, thankfully my ISP for the server was able to stop the attack with little down time. I also had my generator installed, so even with a total blackout, I can still play pinball! (and stop the basement from flooding).
