I am a kind of new subscriber, i indeed watch your video’s because i recently got a free playmatic speakeasy that didn’t work at all. Because your youtube channel and the video with the playmatic i had a lot of tips that i used for mine playmatic. Now its fully function again. So thanks for all of you’re advice. Bytheway i think you’re an asome guy with a great sense of humor. So i don’t get bored and i keep on watching your video’s every time and keep on learning ( maybe for future projects ) . So keep on doing what you are doing. Greeting from me ( Emiel ) from the Netherlands 🇱🇺
36:55 You should teach in Kindergarten! Pupils HAVE to learn not to use a 7.5 amp fuse before they even know how to read!
Thanks for this video, when I saw "Silverball Mania" in the title, I clicked in the next 2 milliseconds. I played this table in the 80s in my local arcade, brings such good memories!
It's a fun game, I've never had this one in though!
That "viewer mail" segment was straight outta 80s era pre-CBS Late Show David Letterman. Classic paper shaking haha!
I forgot Letterman used to do that... I also remember Art Carney doing it on the Honeymooners, and Rush Limbaugh always did it so you'd hear it on his microphone!
I appreciate you and your style of presenting for all of us. Thank you.
Thank you for watching for so long Pez!
If I had known you had that machine there, I would have driven the 5 hours to your shop just to "help" you play test it. Silverball is one of my dream machines that I want in my home. I would love to find one in that condition that I could bring back to life. And enough complaining about the condition of the Fluke meter people! It is a working man's meter. I have the same Fluke 23 and mine is almost as dirty with grime from the airplanes I worked on. Also: VOC = Volatile Organic Compound.
Thank you Solitaire! It's still here but I think they're going to pick it up tomorrow.... we'll probably get another one in though :)
I remember playing pinball back in the late sixty's to the late 70's . I agree with the buying cheap junk these days. Never did like other countries stealing ,people's hard work and then making a cheap knock off. I have loved the older Machines since I was a young boy. Thank you for the great explanation Sir. Liked and shared all my best.
Thank you Bobby, we appreciate you watching! See you on the next video sir!
Thank you for watching Bobby! We'll see you on the next video, sir!
@@LyonsArcade You are very welcome.
Ron, I appreciate how you explain things, and I’m sure others do as well! We've all learnt alot.
This was the first pinball machine I ever played. At Ocean City, MD in the late 70's or early 80's. I was 10. I didn't really fall in love with pinball until 1986's High Speed -- I was 16. I haven't seen one of these in years, but I remember how it sounded and looked. Beautiful backglass. Thanks, Ron!
I watch almost every single video :)
As for fuses, I am no longer surprised at how many people simply don't understand that the fuse is there to protect everything after it. The wiring may be able to hand more than 2A, everything after it may be able to handle more than 2A, but the fuse will be set to the point, as you say, to stop catastrophic issues (such as fires).
Yet when a fuse blows, people will replace it with the same, when that blows, they will up it, when it blows again, they will just keep upping it till it stops blowing, and now they have a fire hazard.
I'm working through fuse issues on our next machine we're working on too, it's a Williams SpaceLab!
Fuses do not prevent a fault. The fault has already occurred. The fuse is there to stop fires.
It's a simple principle to remember.
@@gorillaau And yet not that simple for a lot of people.
My car was full of wrongly sized fuses, changed those over quick smart.
@@ray73864 oh sure. Never underestimate the stubbornness of ignorance.
I am one of those people of which you speak, who isn’t in the “advanced” class yet, and who’s grateful you go through this stuff the way you do. There’s a LOT I learn from these videos. I own five early ss Ballys, and I’m only a couple years into this, so I soak all this up like a sponge. Keep up the fine work!
Hi Ron ... just noticed a lifted trace from one of the transistors that you were testing .. think the 4th one from the left ... Love your videos! Keep em coming 🙂
I like how Stern clearly labeled the test points on their power supply boards.
Stern was a good company they did a great job in my opinion.
Me and my buddy was stuck playing Silver Ball for some time in mid 80's.😊
Had a Silverball mania I was working on once. Somehow, the 40 year old battery had not only never leaked, but still worked fine! Pretty much everything was stock on that game though (rubbers/boards/coils).
I also like Zep products, Very Cool game can't wait to see it running perfectly after the Ron tune up. Just for the fun of it I went back and watched your first two videos about 12 years ago. Good stuff.
Summer, 1980 - Lewisville Tx. bowling alley - game room - Among Pac-Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Defender, Tempest, Missile Command, Battlezone and a few others, there stood against the back wall Silverball Mania and Firepower side by side. A 15-year old's paradise.❤ We would pick up returnable coke bottles and get our $1 from Minyards food store, and head to the bowling alley. We would put 2 quarters in Silverball Mania, play for 2 hours and build up 20 or so credits, (I was the G.O.A.T. on Silverball), and sell them all for a dollar or 2... THOSE WERE THE ALL-AMERICAN CAREFREE DAYS.
I remember this pinball game back in the day. Nice machine.
Sounds a little coilfobic to me 😂. Another great video. Thanks for filming it.
“It’s BROKE!” ~Joe, probably 😜 you guys rock 👍
Brilliant as always
When you were looking through the paperwork early in the video, I was expecting a note from Ron: "It's Broke."
I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
ZEP does have a glass cleaner, but Windex is from SC Johnson. They are competitors.
Coming to you from beautiful down town Rock Hill Sth Carolina…. Just thought I’d put that out there as I haven’t heard you say that for a while.
If I was leaving a machine with you I definitely would not tell you ‘don’t do anything cosmetically’. …. Why would you say that to one of the best pinball restorers around?? I don’t get that at all. This looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun. … similar in some ways to Space Invaders??
Thanks for posting Ronnie.
Some people are trying to save a little money so if we do cosmetic stuff the price goes up. Also that's the easiest stuff to do, so they can do it themselves and save a little cash... also some people don't care as much about the cosmetics, some folks want them looking brand new, some people prefer them to look worn out and beat up, just different strokes for different folks :)
It does kind of have a Space Invaders vibe....
LMAO - glad to see the "Heeeeere we have a 1976 school bus" will never die!
Great video Ronnie. Wrong fuse and a lot of coils bad not a good start. With the wrong fuse was there any wire damage? This is going to be a good one. See you on the next video.
I oughta mail you a Testofon / Contitest*. It'll make measuring transistors a breeze - instead of a reading, you get a tone. Now if the tone of one transistor is different to the others -> gotcha! You can test around or over 1 transistor a second without taking your eyes off the probes.
(btw. Made In Germany by Taco Nauert) (no I don't work for them but I absolutely love this device)
*) they changed the name for legal reasons.
A small amount of lye would help the meter. I love the purple degreaser. It is like $8 per gallon, and to use it as a cleaner, I say dilute it to about 20% And I'd get a spray bottle from the store too. So I put an inch or so of the degreaser in the spray bottle and fill the rest with water. And that will last a while.
Love it keep up good work
VOC stands for "volatile organic compounds". In California they have various levels of VOCs based on what their use they're put to. My employer decided to play it safe and choose the lowest level of VOCs that California allowed in any industry and said, "That's our level for everything company wide." So no more electrical contact cleaner for you guys.
Uk subscriber
Thank you for watching Tango!
@@LyonsArcade i watch all your videos
I have the same ice maker. At least 4 of them. The problem i found is the contact from the ice level wire keeps burning up. When it gets close to full the wire bounces up and down. Keep your ice level below the full level.
I think something similar is going on in that one, just roughly comparing the new one to the old one, I think the entire contact was MISSING out of the chinese one, it must have fell out when I took it apart and I didn't notice it.
very cool machine x
I had to Google it, never heard of VOC-Compliant here in Australia, apparently, it stands for "Volatile Organic Compound"-Compliant... My life feels slightly more complete now :P
I saw you doing the art carney on that letter , dont think i wasnt paying attention.
hahaha somebody else mentioned Letterman used to do it too, I forgot about that
I agree with your sentiment on buying chinese products. We all have to from time to time but if you can get a locally sourced one you should try. This makes sense for all sorts of reasons. Not just geo-political ones, but from my perspective environmental. The less carbon miles on a product the better. Those container ships use some filthy fuel.
I agree, even on the environmental stuff. To me it's not really saving the planet, it's more why waste? Why burn up a bunch of oil to ship that crap over here when you could just make it local, buy it local, and save all the oil? I'm not really an environmentalist, I just don't like wasting things, including natural resources, when there's absolutely no reason to do it. So much of the stuff from china is just junk too, it just gets thrown away, so all that energy, materials, money wasted there too. The fact that it's harming the environment makes it even worse. If my Ice Maker cost 10 bucks more but lasted twice as long, much less wasteful and you keep something out of the dump.
the whole idea that stuff from China can't be made for the same cost in the states is b.s. too.
Easy way to know which leg is base is whichever leg gets you a reading to both other legs. Out of circuit, you should never read anything between collector and emitter, regardless of polarity. If you do, either there are other components (like a resistor) letting your meter current through, or the transistor is bad.
Thank you Yu Wish!
What would melt the middle thumper' inside of the coil? I disconnected it and all other parts work
The duck is baby daffy Duck.
that is a wicked backglass. No wonder they didn't want to chance it.
Camera might like the black and white colors for it to auto white balance and make the colors look true.
It's all about the exposure and light. If it were darker or brighter in there there would be some strobing.
The 'Odd' number on the Motorola IC is the Bally Part # for it. Now we know!
Hey Ron!! Well it's not PeptoPink Goldball.
hahaha
Good Morning
It's always morning somewhere.
VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds. When it says Energised Electrical Equipment, it just means it can be used on equipment that works on electricity lol. Some of these companies are just really sneaky with their wording,
Star trek pinball game i wish I owned. Please repair this pinball.
th-cam.com/video/kmiTt87Aisc/w-d-xo.html
Come on people..there are louder sounds than pinball bells..like OL Waylon's guitar..that's alot louder specially live..saw him and 3..other guys 😁 over 30 years ago down here
That bumper on my Silverball Mania is white.
No plasma display can escape anode erosion. Some will handle it better than others.
Yeah I think they're basically all a ticking time bomb... the LED's are nice little replacements though... I usually don't like LED's but this is a situation where it's unavoidable and there's really not many drawbacks. They look slightly different but everything else is a positive...
Men are who plays these
They know what their customers want
There is a product that is advertised on TH-cam ads that is supposed to fix cracked glass.
I wonder if it would fix broken Plastic
Super glue would work, but the crack might show.
Something that would melt the plastic after you glue it, maybe acetone, or headlight repair kit might hide the repair
I'm surprised a shorted coil would be _that_ shorted. Did you check to see if it was the diode which shorted instead of the coil itself?
The coil wire is dipped in laquer for insulation. If it gets too hot, it can burn off its insulation, and that will make it short out without creating a strong magnetic field.
@@ovalteen4404 I know, but it appeared to be a dead short. Usually shorts within coils are on nearby passes of the wire. A dead short requires the wire to be damaged where both ends cross. This is usually right against the bobbin where it runs cooler.
2:00 - Glitter heart, lasts for centuries.
6:41 - That looks like sputtering of electrodes if the displays are neon based just like the indicator neon bulb in extension cord switch blacken with age._
That's baby Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes.
couldnt you just test these coils individually for operation with a 9 volt battery across em...
One more: Decoding Coil #'s. AN-26-1200. AN is the Coil Former. 26 is the AWG number of the coil wire , and 1200 is the number of turns of wire. Voila!
Oof. Green crusties …😮
I felt a fuse diatribe building but then snuffed out by people at the door! C'mon people. I feel dismayed.
hahaha no I don't go too hard on the fuse people, if you don't know about them you just don't know about them. I just try to explain it so more people know
The bumper caps are not correct for that machine. Mine have a wizard on them.
I only have 3 thousand to own this machine but shipping costs will not pay for machine and everything.
We usually sell our pinballs for less than $2500 but yeah the shipping would be a bit steep!
Road-trip!
Yodelayheehoo
Hello Lil Everette!
Soldering is not black magic... good lord that is the coldest, worst solder joint in history. It made me physically sick and angry when I saw it. Use flux people.. come on people.. LOL clean wires and flux. Apply heat the work does itself. Maybe you should do a soldering video. Or better yet, get Joe to do it. He is like me... run and gun... aint nobody got time for that!! 😁😁😁
I don’t do soldering videos because what if I mess up? You’ll get physically sick!
Don’t know if you care, BUT …. I WILL N O T WATCH #shorts !!! C u r r e n t l y , I do watch your videos, but #SHORTS are a major aggravation!!
Then don’t watch them…. Is it aggravating to not watch something? I mean on my TH-cam I see hundreds of videos I don’t watch. Just don’t click them and you don’t have to watch them. I don’t understand your point; are you honestly saying I shouldn’t do anything you won’t watch? What in the hell
volatile organic compound-compliant." -- voc compliant
“Here we have” shango066!
I believe (not sure) that the actual impetus for all that was he's mocking this guy, who promptly stopped making videos after it! - www.youtube.com/@retrochad/videos
@@LyonsArcade thank you for pointing this out and giving me more interesting videos to watch! Here in the Uk. One day I hope to visit the us. Keep up the good work guys!
