Latest Project
Well guys you may have missed me or you may have thought thank god its gone for a whilebut non the less iv not being as frequenter visiter as i normaly am and that usualy means theres a new project under way and this time i thought i had bitten off more than i could chew in the first part wich was move the games room but will show that later in the games room thread the reason for moving the games room was i had aquired a pinball machine and there was no way it was gonna fit in the cupbord that i had befor unless it got bolted to the roof and i used some form of anti gravity drive to keep the balls on the play field although on trying to convince 7 that a pin table was a good idea i offered to rig it on a pully so i would just lower it from the roof to be able to play.
so on to the pintable to say she needed a littel work was an understatment the machine was purchased and refurbed about 5 years ago by a friend and then got sold on and played to death nightly for that time and i dont mean a couple of balls a night i mean HAMMERED as much if not more than if it was in a bar or arcade so the playfield was wrecked with spin marks and genral pinball machine goo and rubber the 2 front flippers needed totaly rebuilding compleat with new flipper bats as one was a copy and the other was an origonal from 1992 that had shattered and there was just the flipper rubber holding it together and to say there were a few bulbs out was an understatment it was that dark minty the mouse had moved out cause he couldent see then to add to the fun and games of refurbing it the person who had it befor me decided that to help me transport it they would remove the lgs (good idea so far) then instead of unlaching the back bord and folding it on its hinges (oh no that would make my life tooo easy) they would unbolt it and remove it totaly, Now for those that dont know how a pin table works it a littel like a human as in the mechanics ie the swiches solinoids sencors ect are in teh base and yup you guessed it the brains are in teh back bord (hidden behind the score bord) so my first job was to spend 6 hours tracing wires with just a schimatic i aquired to help me (thanks dishpan
) once that was done i could see what worked and what didnt and as you saw from the list above it was long and distinguished finaly aprox 2 weeks later stopping for a test run or 2 inbetween
video and pics of the new games room coming soon
first pic is of the brains
the second is of the glass removed with the playfield lifted up like a hood on a car
last 3 pics are of the newly refurbed playfield only thing i cant get out is the marking under the spinner to the right of the head (wich revolves revealing up to 4 difrent mini play fields one of wich is the multi ball lock i may try getting 7 to put her artistic skills to usse and toutch up the paint on the playfield where i couldent get the marking out
My rice krispies told me to do it
