Williams found the switches were slightly more responsive by removing 1 resistor in each of the 8 switch lines and replacing them with a "Zero Ohm" resistor, or simply a jumper wire (for instance, a common staple from stapler fits the holes perfectly). Starting with the Black Knight, the switch closures were plentiful all over the field, and they found this simple upgrade improved the performance.of the switch closures. This was the first game released where all the driver boards were modified. We have found when we work on all these games that a minimum of half the driver boards that have passed over our service bench never had the mod done!
+Raed Rahman anything random. and trust me I'm quite random. but it's stuff I think they'd like. :) I do it for the nice things. Others I hope the same. :) whether I word it right oops. Snow get PA yet? we got it :) just when the Christmas snow left up came this fun
Phoenix was my first pinball machine in the 80's. I paid $300 for it (working). Wow that was cheap! And the owner also had a Space Shuttle for $600 (working). Pinballs are way over priced now-a-days and I'm glad I'm not into this hobby anymore.
I'm glad to hear the collector base is growing. One day I might want to sell my remaining games. But for now I like to have them around to "tinker" with. Teehee.
That's a sick looking machine
+CowHub Hopefully you mean in a nice way! :-)
TNT Amusements Inc yes good looking i use to have a pinball machine it was HUGE but it broke when i barley knew what they were xD
Loved that William's Phoenix, my all time fav pinballs are the late 70's & early 80's. Y'all did a fantastic job!
P.s. Loved the Always Sunny in Philly "Birds of War" song! Lol
+Bo88y Beretta SOMEBODY GOT IT! YES! YES!
haha, hopefully some more people don't think we're just crazy, lol.
+Andrew Frederick oh man it's one of my favorite shows and y'all are cool as hell for doing that!

+Brent Watier Thank you Brent!!
That Phoenix must be a pretty rare one, I don't recall ever seeing one before until watching this vid.
+Riz2336 So many made, but so many junked because of the leaky batteries no doubt
Wow, that guy actually had some pipes.
Our Risk has roman I's like columns think I like your squares better, love the decor
+Lee Bartholomew I know the new ones are little plastic pieces, whch we all hate...you can buy on EBay the original wooden block game board!
Where can you get a copy of the cards in the back box. I have a Phoenix and I would love to have a copy of that. Great video.
+rarecoolitems check here www.ipdb.org there is a manual you can download that may also have those pages
Todd, can you explain the zero ohm mod please?Thanks.

Ever get house of the dead 2?
Twin game of Risk! What was the final scores on the night?

Hi there! What kind of paint do you guys use when fixing the artwork on wooden cabs? Love the videos!
You could do a very convincing Howard Cunningham...
Thanks!
Don't have any clodhopper ever put that battery in backwards? hmmm?

well, the bubble could burst, BUT its not likely to...as the collector base is growing fast

LOL that mocking tone, you should clean it some times...Todd just negates it instantly
+VideoGame Polak :-)
