Attempting a simple fix for a couple of just picked arcade games
I think I've identified one of your parts (5:10 timestamp on your video). I don't know if you have ever watched Leebo's Pinball channel but he did a Getaway series about 10 months ago and I recognized it in the video I just watched of his. That metal plate protects the wood at the trough outlet. Reference his video here: th-cam.com/video/uz08HmZ6xV8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rjkqzrQeRDg4ngWN&t=354
You nailed it Jim!
@@ETPinball You remembered! Glad to help out.
How professional and knowledgeable! Great video!!
Thanks
Your welds look like mine, we both are not good.
I already knew half that much...LOL
Making due with what we have is the name of the game . Another way to do it is drill two holes through the bottom where the original spot welds were . Clamp it together and then fill the hole with weld . It’s kind of like spot welding . Then grind it down smooth again . Part of your issue is stainless is very difficult to MIG weld . Ive been throwing around the idea of getting an Arc Welder for situations just like this . I would be starting with no experience but I didn’t know how to MIG weld 20 years ago and now I’m half way decent at it. Keep the videos coming , always enjoy them !
Yeah, my mig welder is gas-less, and I wasn't even using the a proper flux core SS wire. I just wanted to get this thing back into the machine and keep the quarters rolling. I have the other broken scoop, that a buddy may weld more properly. That said, I don't plan on removing this one unless it fails...LOL
Hopefully the board is not multi-layer.
The old pinball boards are one or two sided, but not sandwiched.
Could a rat have been chewing at wires or something else.
It certainly happens...
Just FYI, I've got access to a spot welder. I think I could do a pretty clean repair and maybe add 2 more welds to beef it up. If you got another busted one, then just hand it next time you see me.
I do have another busted one laying in the bottom of the deadpool at token, If you are coming to the tourney on Tuesday I'll grab it for you.
Hi from Nehalem :-) if the first cliffy doesn’t fit under the mountain then maybe it’s for protecting the shooter lane. When I buy a game from a non-operator I like finding this stuff in it. I call it the box of pinball hopes and dreams 😅
Sadly, the owner of this game passed away before he got it finished. He had done a lot to it, but clearly had more plans. A lesson for all of us!
Thank You for a great show, I learn so much and want to some day build a home game. You make games as old as me "Get up and go", and Get away. do you some times sell games or are they for your route? Thank you again for perfect explainations of whats what. from Bill, P.S. The art restore work is amazing.
Yeah I sell games, not as many as I used to. Soon I will update my website to show what I have for sell in a better way. I've been too busy to update the listings, so that is going to get redone.
I knew that Addams family chair right off the rip . I saw the top of it buried . Always fun getting spare parts .
hahaha
Mountain plastic is in the back right corner normally. If the game has the tunnel/3D mountain mod installed, you have to remove the flat mountain plastic to make room for it.
Thanks
I have a Shaq attaq system 3. I got sound. The problem is i have a background clicking sound. 🤷🏻♂️
Sketchy sound can be hard to fix. Start with the simple stuff. Good grounds, good connectors, new caps for power supply and sound board....maybe try moving the speaker wire away from any a/c voltage interference.
Consertei muitas em minha vida de técnico
I'm a newbie trying to get up to speed on the love and care needed on the EM's. Thanks for posting.
You are most welcome!
Rectifier boards are not worth fixing in my opinion. Undersized bridges, burned up header pins, poor solder joints, Just not worth the trouble for such a critical board. Replacements are pretty cheap.
If it was up to me, I'd replace most of them, but it isn't. And that is even more true for games that keep the incandescent bulbs in them since they are the culprits of almost all the problems on this board.
Wow this game looks so fun!
I kinda love the "spinner directly into the pop bumper" shot
I fixed up a Bally Mystic a few years ago that had the exact same issue . Ended up replacing the board just like you did. Someone had done a number on the traces . I couldn’t even turn on power without a smoke show ! Well done as always 👍
Thanks!
Cool game ! Far out man ! Like the way the lights look on the playfield . Nice work !
Thanks!
That machine turned out really nice. I'm glad to see you got it going though if I hadn't had three unexpected and expensive house repairs this year I might have made and offer for it as it was for my first restoration project. I was intrigued with the timed game concept. But alas, the repairs took up all my play money for awhile. Looking forward to playing it.
This wan't my game it was a repair and is going back home Wednesday.
I use a little bit of Blue Tak to hold the caps on the bodies. It works fine and you can take it off quickly if you need to. Great restoration.
Nice tip
No way I would’ve picked it up bare handed 😂
Glad all the work you put in paid off ! Super cool project and perfect game for it ! Glad you didn’t have to fry anything in the trial and error process. Well done ! 👍
Thanks! I spent way too much time one it, but how can you waste time if you are enjoying yourself?
Man I want the iron maiden pinball machinr
Can't I just catch the pinball and hold it until my flippers return to normal after a WAF tilt.
No, it only has so much power for a limited amount of time. The flipper will just drop.
The big resistor limits the current too much for even the holding circuit (keeps the flippers up. The only way to get a flip is to wait 2-3 seconds without flipping.
Well my friend , I thought I had seen everything. Obviously I have not . 😂 Fingers crossed it works , you have a lot of time invested, I’m rooting for ya !
It works and it’s awesome! Lol
Suggestion for putting on decals. Get a fluid called RapidTac. It inhibits the adhesive and will allow you to reposition the decal until you get it just perfect then you use a squeegee or towel to get the fluid out from under it and fix it in place. I used to use it putting decals on aircraft. From small stickers to full length stripes. Great stuff. Their RapidRemover is great for getting adhesive residue off.
I have been meaning to try that, but just never bought any. I have some more decals to place on a game soon, so I just bought a bottle on Amazon.
Those kicker nylon heads are untouchable right now . I was able to get a few six months ago . But now I can’t even get the 3d printed ones . Wonder if Steve has them ?
I just ordered some from Steve today. They are actually the Williams version, but they fit and work fine on Bally's too.
Most of the Ballys , at least the ones I e dealt with from that era are all tall posts from factory . I’ve redone 7 games from that same 5 years of time and all tall posts . Think they tried to keep things uniform ( less parts) less overhead . My thoughts anyway. I think they were meant to sit on the head of the screws to help support the plastic .
Good to know.
Funny story , I just had to order some more .05 Uf caps . I always forget that they use those on Fender guitars . And you really have to dig to find a reasonable price . People trying to get a dollar a piece for them is ridiculous! I was able to find a guy on EBay and bought another 200 . Should last me awhile .
Beware of the some of the ebay caps. I bought a bunch for using on bally switches and about 1% would short within months....I threw a couple hundred in the trash. I started using somewhat crazy expensive ones (like 25 c each), but they are very reliable, that I bought on digikey or mouser.
Great looking game. A Bally Classic. Are you coming to the Southern Fried Gaming Expo next week? If so are you going to bring her?
Afraid not....I went last year and had a good time, but I have family visiting this year.
I stopped bye your booth last year, I think I met your sister.
I see it was Hawaiian shirt Friday when you shot this video 😂 Best part of owning your own business is you get to set the dress code !
Absofreakinglutely!!! In my 20's it was Navy uniform then white shirt and tie as a consultant....30's and 40's was at the university, so Hawaiian shirts were mostly tolerated....lol
I love sprayway glass cleaner , had no idea they make stainless steel cleaner as well . Definitely going to order a can . Nice to see strikes and spares coming back around again !
I love all their products and by directly from their website. Cheaper prices and free shipping.
Seems like an over complicated but cost reduced way to tell when a switch is closed. Glad it was a routine repair, though. I've seen that piggybacking a chip trick several times in the retro computer repair videos. It is a neat trick to know. Fun game to play even if it was still needing a bit of tweaking. I like it. And if it helps, I can wear a "Hello! My name is Jim" sticker on my shirt next time I stop by! 😇
I think I kind of like it generally. It never seemed like a good idea to have solenoid voltage and the switch matrix 5V on the same switch stack. Pretty easy to cross pollinate...LOL
I remember the video where Ronnie did that trick ! I have to remember to use it 😂. Sometimes you get caught up and don’t remember all the little tricks . Nice work as always!
Great video !!! I see a WaterWorld there !!! 😲🌊
Thanks! Yeah the Waterworld is a repair.
@@ETPinball WaterWorld in my opinion is an under appreciated game. I've always enjoyed this game...one of the last good Gottliebs (95)
@@michaelholiday9508 It seems like the worse the movie, the better the pin! LOL
Being a carpenter for many years I have a good trick for getting glue in tight spots . Take a piece of paper and use it to drag the glue into the joint . It works really well.
Interesting, and then the paper just becomes part of the joint too?
I’ve noticed in a few videos now that your right thumbnail has a perfect hole drilled in it . I’m assuming you smashed your thumbnail and had to drill a hole to let the pressure out ? Here I was thinking I was the only one who had done that 😂I’ve also put a drill bit through my finger and nail from the underside . That really hurt and had to back the drill bit out in reverse . Anyhow great video as always ! Keep it up !
I've done that, but using a hot nail to melt a hole. In this case the middle of the thumbnail just kind of fell out. I smashed it pretty good moving a pinball of course.
Anyone that’s has done many playfield swaps knows there is a world of difference between a simple swap and a true clean playfield swap in terms of time and effort. Good job.
Thanks!
I’ve experienced similar issues with newer Sterns. Documentation is poor. Many of the opto connectors are very fragile/weak. I would much rather work and troubleshoot Williams games of the 90’s than modern Sterns. The led lamp driver boards are all SMD. I’ve learned to do SMD board repairs. Much more difficult and not easily done in the field.
AGREED!
This is one of my favorite pins. Horrible movie, great game. Pretty cool seeing the underside of that playfield.
Oftentimes the crappy movies had really good pins!
Gotta love it when all the preparation at the start ends up in a relatively painless (though shocking🌩) result as far as problems go. Really paid off on that project. And the playfield looks gorgeous! Hopefully I can swing by to admire it before someone snaps it up and its gone. Or will you be keeping that one around for awhile? Sooner or later work will cooperate and end my day near your shop.
I don't own this one unfortunately. I'll play test a little over a few days, call the client, and then it is back to its home...
@@ETPinball Aww. But lucky owner!
I feel your pain in the pop bumpers , so many times . When you realize you have to take apart something you’ve been working on for over an hour , but you did good !
Yeah, it's part of the game unfortunately...lol
Been waiting for this one ! Whats really cool is now that they are remaking funhouse you should be able to get all the parts again . Planetary Pinball is sending everything over to Pedretti right now but they said all the parts will soon be available to the public to keep the old funhouses going . Nice to see this old beauty all cleaned up . I personally know how much work goes into a playfield swap . So well done 👍
This was the first full playfield swap I've done....lots of hard tops, but they are a LOT less work. I actually didn't really enjoy the whole process. It was OK, but hind of meh....more like doing a puzzle. I prefer the problem solving of doing repairs better.
Clean clean clean
Hahahaha...I heard that!
What size tube is that you use to get board off stands
Inner diameter is about 3/16-in
When you missed the trash can with the dirt dobber nest , I laughed out loud hysterically😂 . Strikes and spares is a great game and definitely worth saving it ! Side note , I was wondering what happened with funhouse!
I just placed the playfield back in the game today....tracking down some missing switches at the moment. Should post the video in a few days...hopefully!
Is that cigarette pack paper? or gum wrapper? Also zener diodes aren't going to measure on a multimeter what you'd expect of a normal diode.
I was thinking lifesavers?? Even though that was a zener, it measured 0.6V out out of circuit. It was fine. I replaced with a new 14004 per the schematics.
Looks like old rollaids paper
Yeah, or maybe even a lifesaver wrapper. I thought at first Wrigley's gum, but it had the concentric circles....LOL
How do you diagnose a shorted coil?
Place multimeter on resistance ("horseshoe") mode and place your leads on both terminals of the coil. If the resistance is less than 2 ohms it is shorted, or possibly the diode on the coil (if present) is shorted.
Good videos and so few subscribers. Hopefully one day youtube decides to throw you on the main page for a few min and it helps you take off.
Hahaha. Thanks for the comment!
