Seems like you have the same issue I have with the sound after locking a ball. On my MGOW the sound when lights goes dark works fine for the right warbase but only one out of two times for the left one... still trying to figure this out. Also previous owner cut wires on the coil of the stargate ramp and I've been struggling for a wile to find a wiring plan for it... Great video ! Helped me a lot to continue restoring mine 🤘⚜

I love that mod!!

What speaker did you use ? Does it improve the sound (compared to the original) ?

Thanks Leebo. Game looks great! Looking for the next project!!

Thank you for showing us the 'sticking' counter wheel. I would never have imagined they work like that...looks like more of an art form to tune them up and get them functioning properly. Great job...lots of patience to do what you do...and recording for us, making it one handed makes it that much more complicated! Looking for the finale, Thanks Leebo!

Thanks for video! I had replaced my shooter spring and spring on the outside of the cabinet several months ago on my Abra Ca Dabra. I did notice that the ball didn't contact as well after the spring changing. Your video helped me fine tune - I measured the old spring and the new replacement spring and did find the new replacement (spring outside the cabinet) was .1" longer. So I put back the old external cabinet spring as well as making a minor adjustment on the alignment. Works great now!

Love the mechanics of the flipper mechanisms! Thanks for sharing with us Leebo!! I also like how you put the paper towel under where you are soldering...I can only imagine how difficult it would be to find a little ball of solder that falls down into the switches and causes a short or blocks a contact....The shooter rod looks brand new!

Thanks for posting the quick walkthru.

A ton of really nice pins. Should be a fun weekend.

Awesome

Looking great Leebo! Definitely a good call on the rusty light socket!

Where is your leopard print thong? Lets see those muscles. ;)

Used to work for them in the early 80's drilling holes in the playing field , never knew what game it was for or anything , just stand and drill and drill and drill .... I lasted about a year ...

Looks awesome, don’t misunderstand. But have you tried a glaze coat before painting of drywall putty? Gets into all the little cracks and stuff and makes a very smooth cab surface.

Looks good. I might have to try the sprayer vs rattle can. Looks like it worked good.

alrighty then, knee deep in the bugs....love it. I love that feeling when so many things are operating incorrectly and you fix them one by one. Looks like you need to have a ton of patience to keep moving and not walk away!. Good job Leebo! looking for the next! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!

What compound do you use on the polishing wheel? May have asked you that before.

Shiny.

Found one of these in decent condition for a good price near me.. just debating if I should pull the trigger or not

Wow. That was a shock to the memory. Really reaching back but I remember the 2 or 4 player version from back in the day. I have a hazy memory of the Tarzan guy with his foot on the lion's head but not much more. I'm certain that we had one in my parent's bowling lanes at some point when I was 5 or younger. Could be one of the earliest games that inspired my love of pinball.

How can you Force a reset?

Leebo, Very nicely done! I really like the lights and everything is bright and shiny!! I was chuckling every time you said...Ya I had to kinda polish up this and that! Ha ha ha, your passion shows through very well. @jason_hundley I love the idea of a "Saved by Leebo" badge! Just stick it inside and be proud of it!

Well, TH-cam only allows me to give a thumbs up and not a love! You did an amazing job!! Can’t wait to see it in person. Thanks so much, Lee!!! Oh… don’t forget the “Saved by Leebo” badge. Since you did all the work, you can decide where to put it. It makes no difference to me. Don’t hide it… I want people to see who restored this game.

Where do you get the stencils?

My #1 ball is broken off. I got a new one from Steve Young but since it's such a big job to put it in, I haven't as yet done it. I've got a rivet tool

I lightly restored and rebuilt my Bank A Ball. But I had to repaint the front frame of the lightbox, and the front door panel, because they were in bare and delaminated condition. The only way I could have the paint color matched, was to buy a whole gallon for $55, and I did that for the green, but the yellow-orange stencils, I could not match, so I used rattle can orange and wish I hadn't. I tried everywhere online to get a small quantity of color matched paint. Automotive was $72 a quart. I thought of sign painters paint, but that was like $35 or $40 for a small can. I made my own stencils, what was quite a project

Looks really good Leebo!! Can't wait to see it all re-assembled! Thanks for the EP version!

Man, it’s looking so good!!!

Beautiful playfield!

Looking good Leebo, can't wait to see the finished product!

Love the passion!!! Thanks for bringing us along Leebo! The new finish on the cabinet is going to look amazing!

Oh man, I love this machine...the colors are so vivid...must be awesome to play~~

Nice touch with adding the rails!! That totally sucks that your 1st attempt with the fiberglass didn’t work out. 😢

I didn’t know you could get those slingshot linkages. Was that from PBR or Marco?

What is the score reel dohickey next to the chimes?

If you have any old pinball glass that isn’t tempered, which I did and needed to be replaced, then I cut the pinball cover glass into three pieces to use for flattening! I thought this was a good reuse. I did the same process, but put some heavier ceramic cookware on top to add to the pressure, which helped.

Nice work! Cab is going to look great. I’m actually restoring the same Hot Tip at my place. Started about two weeks back. Stripped and cleaned the top playfield, not trying to decide if I replace the cupped inserts or fill them level with clear coat. You might be interested in my plans to add to this game. I’m doing two things. 1) I’m going to do a sound track and call out overlay. I figure that I can key off the switches to a separate Arduino style unit that will trigger audio call outs. This would be optional on/off. I’ve researched some great sound clips from movies and shows (Seabiscuit, Let it Ride, abbot and Castello, and even Disney) with racing content. The clips are pretty good. 2) I’m adding to the playfield. The back playfield horseshoe area is covered now in green model grass, and I’ve 3d printed some race track fencing. It adds to the illusion that you’re at the track. I’m leaving my cabinet original (and tarnished) for now until I get it all working again. But then I’m open to a repaint. I used an AI to come up with some decent graphics - as I think the original stencil is only just ok - sort of lacks detail and almost too low key. If you’re interested in collaborating on the audio, let me know.

I’m so glad you decided to do the cabinet. I know it’s a lot of work, but I think it’s gonna look great.

Amazing! Hilarious!

That’s awesome!!

How did you get the top to open? I am unsure how to move the round metal corner connectors.

Ya looking really good! You make it look so easy to blend the new paint/clear into the old and I know it is not any easy thing to do! Great job Leebo...looking for the next! I am guessing you will clean up the case a little...I don't remember you working on it for this one?

Wow, it looks incredible! What clearcoat did you use. Thanks in advance.

Can’t wait!! You and Tyler should definitely keep it for a little while and play the heck out of it. You’ve definitely earned it.

What stencil cutter and material does he use to get such clean and good results?

Hey Leebo! Was wondering when the next update was coming...Believe me I know all too well, life gets in the way sometimes and slows things down...not always a bad thing!! Thank you for bringing us along, and looking for the next update! That Attack From Mars was incredible...some serious details going on and the colors were awesome...If a machine in that condition was to hit the market what would its value be?

Those plastics turned out perfect! Also nice job on color matching the green.

Might be stupid, but I have a video idea. Something on how you get your stuff so shiny when buffing. I’ve tried the process I think you’re using with the wheel and the mothers, but it never turns out like that. Guess I need practice!

Hi, do you have any photos of the playfield when you stripped it down atall, cheers.
