Great restoration. I am a 62 yo man who played these machines as a kid. My friends mom owned a beer joint and we were allowed in during the day. Great fun and they were for amusement only. 😉😉
Hi Max great videos. Watching from Great Britain. Always wanted a Bingo but they are few available in the Uk. I’ll keep looking and maybe one day will acquire one
On the rebound rubber, the old one just had the metal discs stuck in it. It didn’t come with them built in. They just got imbedded and stuck with time and degradation. I usually pry them out with a screwdriver and reassemble onto the new one.
Nice job getting to the bottom of the problem with the search wiper. I noticed in the video that the wiper arm has a red mark on it. It's usually described in the manual where the home position is with that mark. Although I've only worked on EM pinball machine where the stepper units usually reset to that home position, not like this where it constantly turns. I only mention it because it might make troubleshooting in the future easier to diagnose. But great job working through it, finding the issue and solving it. AND taking us along for the ride. Thank you for making the videos on this machine.
Huh, I never noticed that red mark while working on it. That is wiper A so they must have been keeping track of its position with that mark. The rotating discs don't have a home position per se, but the manual shows it with wiper A at contact row 0 which is when the score multiplier unit resets, so it's a good "home" position. Glad you enjoyed the series!
Awesome video series on this Night Club! I'm fixing up my Bally Show Time right now and have it working great mechanically but doing some cosmetic fixes. Can you detail which LED bulbs you used specifically in the backglass? When you pulled them out of the box, they looked like Comet Pinball LEDs which is where I get all mine for my other pinball games. I like the look of the ones you got so would like to experiment with those. Maybe you could add links to the description? Thanks for an awesome in-depth series!
@@BrentKelley Yep I used Comet Pinball LEDs specifically the frosted warm white “1SMD non-ghosting bulbs” on their website. Night Club uses 20V bulbs in the bingo card and I imagine Show Time is the same so I’m not sure if those can be upgraded. The rest run off 6V. Glad you enjoyed the series!

Very cool! Glad you enjoyed the restoration.
What an amazing machine, well done for fixing it. A pleasure to watch.

There are some 14V, 24V and 28V versions of LED bulbs. Wonder if one of them would work if you added a resistor or something.
Would you be able to share your documents for this machine? I am doing the same one now and having trouble finding any.
I found everything on bingo.cdyn.com. They have documentation and information about basically every bingo machine.
