Damn, I could have got a piece for next to nothing. I guess I will wait until I get an Elvis as I will need it (as lexan is bulletproof if thick enough) to shoot at the tv mod and not damage the machine.........

My brother scored some 4x8 lexan sheets for $50 a sheet. He will have lots left over. I was considering using some as a replacement PF glass. Anyome tried this? Don't know if it will give me the same amount of noise reduction. I have to double check the thickness. Otherwise it could be a cheap fix.

I was thinking of a double date night at the church of the silver ball. Made me wonder if Pin Rev has a review? Could get me a discount or extra time, Pin Rev night, etc.

I was in the GTA and stopped at Starburst and got a new rottendogg power supply board. Went to remove the original. What a mess. Some of it is hard wired in. Damn, now I need to have my tech by. So much for playing....

I mustered up the courage to try to swap out the resistor myself. I only have a big ass soldering gun but somehow managed to do it. I put the dmd at 90 degrees in case of any drips. I also swapped in a new coil in the slingshot that I previously had streched the swelling out of the sleeve. Now...

I personally love the fruit crate inspired art. There are certainly plenty of other machines that are mature themed or have translighrs available. Game play will be the make or break.

Then I guess I will seek out the 1 watt resistor to give the dmd the best chance of lasting long. I want to be sure when I am ready to move on from Checkpoint that it has the best chance of being issue free for a long time.

My tech buddy is suggesting that I could use a 33k 1 watt resistor if I can"t find the half watt. He claims that the 1 watt will be able to handle the voltages better. I think I will hold out and see if I can get 2 of the correct one. I am a bit leery about where any of the excess voltage might go.

Its been a few years out of the arcade back room. Hes doing macro soldering fixing. Ipods and such for kicks. We were careful and soldered to the wires of the removed one. I get some of the lingo mixed up. I never took electricity shop and when he describes what is wrong it's like he is speaking...

Yeah, I just finished reading pinwiki.com data east sega repair guides. 4.10.4.1 Sometimes this display will light but the display will appear garbled. The display will flicker and move but the output will not be readable. This can be caused by the R95 resistor on the DMD controller board going...

As I am now in the high voltage section and my tech buddy has little experience with DMD repair I could really use some help tracking down my last issue (that made me pull it off the market) Backgroumd: when I got this machine at auction the dmd didn't work. This was identified as a blown 33k...

Yeah, I have a spare coil. Just needed to be sure that was the only issue going forward. Planning on some downtime on this machine in the near future to address a few things.

I just used the old shaft from the flipper to strech the inside of the plastic coil sleeve. It was just sticking the off time. Works great now.

I was a bit suspicious when the coil sleeve wouldn't come out. I didn't have a large enough drill bit. After looking through my pinball trash parts box I fould a flipper coil plunger assembly from the old bally atlantis that just fit the sleeve at the ends. I could feel the swelled spot in the...

Checkpoint has a slingshot that occasionally stays out after deploying. I can hit the flipper button and it will return. I can wait it out and it will return. I am not having any humming so I will assume the coil is not on. I took off the coil cleaned up the coil stop and sleeve. Wondering if it...

Have cash ready and be ready to jump on a good deal. They go suprisingly fast.

I though you may want to add this one to you Data East stuff. I guess I have an original glass.

Sorry, got busy crying into my Checkpoint aftet the dmd started acting up. Almost had it out the door....

Had a problem come up during some play I want to address.
