Poor James... he only got a Pro model. LOL D

I blame my mom or my addiction. I grew up inside a roller rink in the 80's as my mom was in a league and I just naturally gravitated towards the pins. (And subsequently hanging out with the DJ). I always told myself that when I had my own place I would get a pinball machine. Fast forward 20...

Yeah, if you're not getting any sound board errors on boot-up my previous comment about it being in the amplifier section is probably bang on. (especially where adjusting the volume does nothing to raise and lower the level of the ground buzz. Time to bust out the schematics and your DMM and...

Stern has him on the "earn your keep" program. They'll get him a proper desk and computer once he designs a game that sells well... ;) D

Sounds like a plan. If you need my services, the best thing to do is get the PCB to me. From there I can sit with the schematics and troubleshoot, and test in one of my games. I have still only hauled the ROBOT home, and finally had the motivation to at least haul it into the basement...

Don't be sorry, this what everyone should come to expect with this hobby! LOL D

Ya, along with all the other repairs that I've finished and got waiting to write up and post. UGH, there's just never enough time in a day... D

It's a sound board issue for sure. You need to figure out if the issue is pre-amp or post. If you have any PCB re-work experience I would say this is a problem you might be able to solve yourself. If you're not comfortable doing PCB re-work, and are not comfortable reading schematics this...

There is no problem physically connecting a 1/4" Tip/Ring to the speaker wire but as Luckydog said, don't plug it into your mixer unless it's a non-amplified source. You would be doing the same you originally did with the RCA input on your sub. If people don't want to hack around their PCB's...

Nah, it's a Sys3 game so there must be a non-tournament way to set it to free play. I had a Sys3 Strikes N' Spares that was set to free play. Just wait for the manual to show up, it'll explain it all in there. D

Put the game into switch test mode and activate EVERY switch manually to verify what switches are not working. If its all random likely bad switches or broke wires on the switch. If you notice a pattern, once you get the manual, like all the bad switches are in the same row or column, you could...

Re: Getaway LED toppers tie in 12VDC? Sounds like your plan of using a transistor, voltage divider would work just fine. D

Huzzah! Glad you got it powered up. Ground buzz, ugh... could be simple but could also have you running in circles. Check for obvious things like the ground strap from the lower cab to head is in place, and that all the pcbs are screwed down and tight. From there you should verify all the...

I got mine from Jim @ Rottendog Amusements, he is a fantastic person to deal with and his products are always top notch at great prices. http://rottendog.us/CLK001.html D

I often wondered if the ramps would get one last re-work or not. Those are definitely home brew, and here's hoping they get James @ Pinball Inc to produce the production versions. D

As long as it's plugged in, and the main line and the other fuse beside it is good you will have power at the service outlet. D

This is correct, but one thing to please keep in mind... this is more for when you are working with low level signals. When using amplified signals as your source DO NOT tie multiple games together. You guys currently have a left and right speaker input, and those *should* be isolated inside...

Gerry requires full payment up front in order to secure the game. As with any game purchase, pics only show so much detail, so what you get might be slightly different than what you saw in the pics. For the most part, they are accurate but again do not show ALL details so expect some...

Chris, It's a personal preference and is really dependent on the source, room type and size and location of the sub. Rule of thumb is start at 90Hz and adjust accordingly from there. D

You are correct in that you will not hurt anything in the game if you get the hot and neutral wires backwards on the new plug but you will want to get it correct for safety reasons in the long run. The rule is you always "break" the hot line, so whatever wire goes to the switch on the bottom of...
