In Training posted:That's rad. You should share some pics and updates It doesn't really need much work. Just some coils replaced for the most part and replacing the bulbs with LEDs. I hired a tech who offered to teach me how to do some repairs then is going to fix half and let me fix half. The pinball community is really great!

Okay guys I will try to make a repair log in this thread! I took a video of the broken bumper, popup and flipper. I will post it here shortly! No more video for at least a week until parts arrive. If there's any questions until then ask and I'll try to answer!

Okay team. Here's the pinball machine we need to fix: MARS GOD OF WAR  The apron is gone, that's why there's a big empty space at the bottom of the playfield. Here's a video of the issues we need to fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59vtYJG2lNA One thing I didn't get on video was the warbase ramp sticking, and one of the rollovers not working. Things I did get are: -Right flipper chattering -right sling chattering -upper left pop bumper dead We also need to swap the bulbs for LEDs which is easy. Things not in the video we need to do: Rebuild power supply board with a new cap kit Fix player 1 and 3 displays Do a ground mod so there's more than 1 ground point on the system Put LEDs in the coin slots so it looks cool Here's a picture what a coil looks like: https://imgur.com/CumUGgf Here's what the under the playfield of a 40 year old pin looks like: https://imgur.com/lpfwSLd Here's what the mechanics look like: https://imgur.com/g5PTzYS Any questions ask away. manpurse fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Nov 4, 2017 |

HORMELCHILI posted:thats cool, the underneath looks a lot simpler than I thought, but maybe thats because its an older machine? That's just the mechanical components involved in the machine. All of the circuit boards and "brains" of the machine are behind the head which I will take pictures of tomorrow. Also will someone in America/Eastern Canada please help ship me pinball parts. I pay roughly 60/40 split between parts and shipping. Doesn't matter where it comes from I live in Alberta so I get raped professionally.

Had a fun game on a reasonably well maintained Whirlwind machine just now. The spinner gimmick doesn't really have much impact on play tbh. Earned a free play but didn't have time to use it, still it feels good to pay it forward.

Shamelessly crossposting pics of this one I just put a preorder on: Deviant posted:Cause. You hit the targets to open the reactor, then bounce around in the upper playfield to cause the reactor to go critical, then hit the right side pop to destroy the reactor. Repeat for every reactor on the "continent". Deviant posted:
 If anyone's in Florida, I usually play at BART and the Pinball Lounge in orlando. Also the best tables are Bride of Pinbot and Jackbot. Fight me about it. Deviant fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Dec 7, 2017 |
