    High Scores

    Ok, I know that this is probably what Adam scores on his 1st ball but this was an EPIC game on Shadow for me last night... First time I've ever reached "The Final Battle" and got 17 of the 27 shots towards the 1B jackpot. Really like this game. Look forward to other members contributing their...

    eBay Sales Summary Update at Boston Pinball

    There is no definitive list unfortunately, so the answers you will get vary greatly from person to person. In this context though I would say "A" list games are the more desirable (hence more expensive) games and it all comes down to supply and demand. The easy ones would be AFM, TAF, TZ, MB...

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    You would be correct! That coil should be an AE-23-800. http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=666 And I've confirmed you'll want the 2-1/16" flanged coil sleeve for it. D

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Here's what you need from PBL http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=473 http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=472 and either one of these (not sure on what length you need) http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=91 or...

    Micro circuit board components?

    Ok, once you've got the opto's and confirm we can make plans to replace the BSS123. It'll take me literally 30 seconds, but just remember I charge by the hour. :lol: D

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Agree with Adam on MAD, but unfortunately he sometimes has stuff that nobody else does. In this case though... please order it from anywhere but MAD. Terry @ PBL usually gets my first order, then it's a toss up between Steve @ PBR or Rick @ BAA, and then Marco / Playdium, and the rest go down...

    Micro circuit board components?

    Two words.... Dim Sum. That is all. :) Adam, looked at the schematics, and what makes you sure it's the bss123 and not just the 1n4004 diode? Either way, I can replace either or both of those parts for you quicker than I could if they were thru-hole. D

    Pinball Insurance?

    Really? Maybe its different from one company to the next because I asked my agent the same question and I got the exact same answer as Malibu. Nothing about a 10k limit, and I made sure my agent knew my collection was worth more than 10k. It would be interesting to know what other members...

    eBay Sales Summary Update at Boston Pinball

    I think in order to use the ytd figure you need to consider how many have sold ytd and go from there. I would say the avg w/o min/Max is probably your best average as you use all the data without skewing the value too badly by tossing the most pimped out and clapped out examples. D

    Not having that plunger cap sit flush will do it, so you'll most likely have to replace it. You could try to sand down the top of the plunger to clean it up an get it flat. You'll also want to replace that coil sleeve which could also help resolve this issue. D

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Yep, it's something mechanical for sure. Either the ball isn't sitting right, the wireform isn't quite right over the VUK, or there is an issue with the sleeve / plunger. One other thing to consider, if you took the vuk assembly apart at all, maybe the wrong spring on the assembly? (too...

    Yes, I have been reminding the owner of the site about this almost every day... It seems to have been busted once we moved the avatars to the left side. D

    I would think with a bus type system, as long as the node boards are mounted to the PF it would be simple to remove. D

    Use of extension cords and quality?

    That's not entirely true, as it all depends on the length of the cord. Say for instance you had a 14awg cord that was 100 ft, your wall voltage was 120 and you had 4 pins connected to it so assume a 12 amp peak load, you'd be looking at up to 3-4% voltage loss from one end to the other. (About...

    Micro circuit board components?

    Micro circuitry? Do you mean surface mount technology? If that is what you mean, I can fix it for you. (Surprise surprise right?). What's the transistor part#? D

    Use of extension cords and quality?

    Generally the use of extension cords is frequent, and as long as you use a good quality / large gauge wire cord you will get the best results given the conditions. Basically you want to use the largest AWG with the shortest length possible. The problem with using cords is the longer the cord...

    Its about time they abandoned the old matrix technology and moved to a "bus" system. I wonder what system tho... Must do some more homework. D
