44:14 LOL, that was the best sound glitch ever. A perfect theremin impression, and it cut you off twice LOL.
There is nothing to hate on this channel, just great videos. Just keep doing what you are doing. 😃
I was trying to fathom myself how anyone can hate on this channel too 😄, that said I'm not above winding up Ron sometimes 😉hehe. C'Mon People!
I honestly look forward to your videos more than anything that is broadcast. I kid you not, I can't wait to see what you're doing next. For all the haters, I wonder if they're owners of a successful business and live their best lives every day and look forward to putting in work. Your channel alone inspired me to start my own pin repair business. God bless yall.
Thank you Dave, we appreciate you watching out there! We try to make it fun for everybody :)
Trying to remember when I first played with 555 timers on breadboards to make sounds as a kid, it was probably around the same time those pinball machines were made. Back when breadboarding was done with soldering and not the push in stuff we do now. I'm guessing that sound board isn't that different than a bunch of timers, funny that what ever capacitors were making it go all horror show did come back to normal after a few charge/discharge cycles. Yes, I was using a soldering iron back as far as I can remember, first semi-dangerous tool I was allowed to use.
I bought one of the Japanese solder suckers after you recommended it. It is without doubt the best solder suckerer I have ever owned and now I also highly recommended it to everyone else. Thank you, Ron, for making my life easier. For those who think it's not good enough, maybe you should let someone else who knows what their doing do your desoldering if you're not willing to learn 😂
Just a trick I came up with.
I bought a couple of those silicon placemats at Ikea and I glued them to my tabletop where I work. Nothing slips anymore, very non-conductive and heat resistant. If it gets too dirty I just rip it off and replace it with a new one.
I also built a little "soldering table" for the worktop that moves the thing I am working on a couple more inches closer to my eyes. That way I am not hunched over for hours. At my age everything helps :-)
As always your time and effort is much appreciated, Ronnie. Stuck here in Munich, Germany on my way back to Vancouver, Canada. You help make this day go smoother. Cheers!
Ronnie, I think it looks just fine. Some people are just gonna complain... Come, Come on people! :) The important thing is that it works. Good stuff Ronnie, Thanks for sharing!
For some reason I’m addicted to this channel. Great videos. No complaints here.
Ron, you are SO right. I absolutely remember the ones I made moan and complain. 😂
Don't let the turkeys get you down, soar with the eagles!
(Yeah, I hate sayings like that too. Just ignore them haterz.
Also ignore sycophants.)
You're the best!
The effort to repair the original MPU is worth while. A good soak in Vinegar can sometimes get rid of a lot of the corrosion, as the vinegar counteracts the alkaline, and then a good wash off can help you see the damage, which is usually no where near as bad as it looks. I usually do the vinegar soak before cleaning up the board, as it gets rid of a lot of the corrosion and residue before the sanding/cleaning of the board. That's just my way of doing it :).
I would not have expected you would be able to bring life back to the MPU board, or perhaps it’s undead.
I’ve been watching your videos for 5+ years and still enjoy every single one. You also give me the confidence to repair a number of machines, to the point I have been asked by several machine owners to work on theirs. The negative comments only let themselves down…. Your 1000+ videos, where you don’t bag anyone for doing their best and with thousands of regular followers says it all. We love your content and hope it continues for years to come - my week wouldn’t be the same without them.
I use that "vampire tools" solder sucker more than my Hakko desoldering gun simply because it works so well. Best recommendation ever.
Your content is always knowledgeable and entertaining.
if it wasn't for you i would have never have been confident to get my own pinball machine and to bring it back to life just ignore the haters we are here with ya.
Puppies - Kittens- roses -butterflies'- warm beverages on a cold day -favorite easy chair - Love - Funny jokes - first kisses - mom's hugs . Thank you for the video !
Thanks for making videos, enjoy seeing and learning new things. It’s nice to see pinball and arcade machines live on
Dracula is coming back. Nice work on the MPU board. There was a ghost in the machine when you first turned it on. …I thought it was part of the sound at first! Very enjoyable series, thanks for posting.
Maybe that was the sound of Dracula's brides when you first powered it on? 🤔
Let the hater's hate whatever. When you get done with it it's gonna work and be fun to play! Who cares what the board looks like if it works. It's gonna be just fine in the back box doing what it is supposed to do now that you made it live again! 😃
I cant believe you banged that pen on your desk. Neither one probably works right now. Seriously I love your videos thank you for your hardwork.
LOL, that audio was the best sound effects I have heard in awhile. LOL Thank you Ron!
I love all your stuff, you know what you're doing, you're straight forward on what you do or don't know, nice lengthy videos to watch, and your voice is great to just have you playing in the background
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!
Funny that you mentioned that. I watch these videos every night on the treadmill. I look forward to working out. And I will often play a video in the background when I am working on one of my pinball machines. I have learned so much. Ronnie is absolutely the best. I can't imagine anyone hating on him for anything. Ronnie - you are the best thing to happen to the pinball community. No one else comes even close. Except maybe Kim and Graham from the Goat Shed. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
I build custom racing quadcopters, and some of these flight controllers are 20mm mounting holes on the boards and have up to 80 solder joints. Many use 30 awg wires that are so tiny that I use a magnifier and a loop to solder them.
the internet is always full of "authorities" on everything. if it works and works for you is it really wrong? if we all did everything the same the world would be very boring and creativity would run dry. i have some electronics experience and i love watching your vids, i have no hope of every owning a room of pinballs or arcade machines , but i love watching these brought back from the dead saved from the landfill. for another generation and us old farts to enjoy once again. And if i EVER get to visit the US i will definatly be making a pilgrimage to your store. keep making videos.
Ron we love ya man and the content and laughs get better and better. Forget the haters and C’MON MAN use the new multimeter 😂🤣. You got this sucka!
I really enjoy your videos, my understanding of electronics is almost zero, but it's improving thanks to you, and if I'm having trouble sleeping your schematic videos do the trick.
Excellent work. I've always been curious about all the electronics inside of a pinball machine. Thanks for all the effort putting into these very detailed videos. Awesome! 👍😎
Thanks for sharing these videos Ron deeply appreciate it I've learned a lot from watching your videos.
Just recommend this video to someone on Facebook needing to repair battery damage on board from a stage light controller. Keep up the good work!
I watch this channel all the time and enjoy as well as learn about the machines. Keep doing what you are doing. Great channel. Thanks, John
Always appreciate your time and effort to document these repairs… learnt and continue to learn with every one. Regards
Laugh at the haters Ron. Great job as always.
Having a blast watching all the videos. Keep up the good work.
We All Love Ya Work Mate.... & Awesome Talent ... Greg , Australia..
Epic crusty brain surgery from a red light to a green light to giving George an undead voice👻
Fascinating video and remember
RUclips is boring without this awesome channel🕹️
Wait.. is George 👻 Dracula's 8 Bit brother 😱
It sure sounded like it but man if this machine had a squawk n talk bug out like that then fix itself and say I have come to suck your blood in Dracula's voice then it would be dead set terrifying as well as suit this games horror theme to a T while it haunts ya store then when ya turn up in the morning to install the new displays and the 2nd machine switches itself on for a few seconds without being plugged in and says= WoooooOhhhhWooohh I'm Broke😮
Most guys I know here in Holland that , like me, restore 80's slot machine PCB's also use vinegar to neutralize the acid first. Mostly they even go into a ultrasonic cleaner, rinse it with demineralized water afterwards. Except for this board the switches might not like it. Personally I also also replace the sockets. There also exists (we order it in China) solder mask in different colors that you apply like nail polish, with a fine brush that can be UV hardened.
Wow! I can't believe the CPU worked the first time you powered it up! You are just plain lucky 😃! You need to buy a lottery ticket now!
Great job on that MPU! I love bringing things back to life that would otherwise be destined for the landfill. I don't know if I'd call all of those people "haters". Some just like to argue about whether you're "doing it right" according to their own preferences. Some of us geeks just do that to each other. You should see the things that go on some of the other boards, like Hi Fi and antique radios. Just the "recap all" vs "only replace what's bad" debate can consume several pages of a topic alone! (Don't get me started on selenium rectifiers vs silicon diodes!) Sometimes I post to a turntable forum about a lower end turntable that I'm messing with to play less than pristine records, and I get "I won't let any of my records near that. If the record is not perfect, it's not even worth listening to!" Geeks got to argue, so I guess that makes you a member of the club like the rest of us! I bet if you leave one of those "hater" posts up, say, about what type of solder you should be using, you'll see people arguing with the person who posted, because they can't all agree on that! I bet someone told you that you should be using Eutectic solder only, which is what the audiophiles use, and they pay a lot for it. Others will tell you what you already know: If plain old 60/40 was good enough for the original machine, it's good enough for the repair! (Don't worry about it, people! It'll be all right!) I enjoy how you preemptively argue with the things you know someone's getting ready to argue about. Keep 'em coming! I'm falling about 3 weeks behind on my RUclips videos, so I have to skip some I've subscribed to, but I never skip yours!
I'm really loving this series, thank you for the video. I would love to see how you do even basic stuff (even brushing off the nasty staff at 26:40 , cleaning, soldering etc) it's somewhat therapeutic to see every stage. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Love the channel! I'm learning a lot. Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
First try! You sounded very pleased when it flashed 7 times on power up - deservedly so! Great effort.
Very sad that some of the posters have so little else to do except hate. Myself, I wanna watch, laugh, smile and generally enjoy life. Thanks for taking us on your journey :)
What a great song by the pinball machine!
I dunno what the haters are here for, cuss its absolutely fascinating!
P.s. I love your sense of humour!
Thanks for watching!
@@nazteeb
What you do in the videos on RUclips is what works for you.
This is a Good Comment,
very nice Video, thanks well done cleaning the board and getting it working
Nice work Ron. 👍👍
The sound board is even haunted! Nice!
Haha. Using a vampire tools solder sucker on a Dracula.
Ignore the haters, I love your videos and channel.
Back in the 60's I learned Bad Boys R*pe Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly. I briefly worked for a precision resistor company when I got out of college but they printed the details on the resistor. I probably couldn't read the fine print these days but the color code still works
I keep buying the q% resistors off aliexpress. only had on that was not within spec, think they sent a 5% by mistake. I have been enjoying watching your videos, very enlightening
my dad tinkerd whith.jeeps and he
had scrwes and whats not in plastic containers.
i like your videos on arcades and pinballs.
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍
I loved this video. Brings back so many memories when I collected and repaired my pins. I used WICO for parts. Who is the new source like WICO?
Love the sly Yoda reference, one of the reasons I love ya Ronnie
C'mon people, why you hatin'? Do what you do, Ronnie - coming from a long line of electricians and handy...persons, as long as it works, will work in the future, and not electrocute anyone in regular use (can't much help the folks who stick forks in outlets), it's good enough for me & 99.9% of the people out there. I look forward to your videos, this is stuff I can follow, understand, and appreciate.
Great plans, Holy poop. I remember, same as RadioShack. I miss them.
Engineering something new is expensive. If you can use something that already exists you can save a lot of money.
Love the electronics work bench tour.
Cant understand why people hate. I have 0 electronic experience but like watching you fix pinball machines for some reasons lol.
I too have no electronic knowledge, but enjoy the videos and the fact these good ol boys are modern day Marx Brothers🥸
That's crazy how much damage is done by a leaking battery. That alkaline creeps everywhere!
Good stuff as always and oddly enough once again you are working on a game I am currently working on so ty for the great info and tips.. Got a Raven on the back burner by any chance cuz that's my next project and I am a gottlieb Virgin lol
Nice work, Ronnie.
@36:23 -- "A little jumper here!"
I thought thought this was DRACULA'S, NOT FRANKENSTEIN'S MPU Board, Ron!
The insides of this "Dracula" pinball machine are looking more and more like Frankenstein's Monster! Bela Lugosi and Christopher might be frowning now!
(Yes, the correct term for Him is "The Monster" or "Frankenstein's Monster," NOT Frankenstein. Frankenstein was The Creator/Mad Scientist!)
PS -- Not to worry... A lot of us are miserly/penny-pinchers, too.
I've upgraded and customized a LOT of joystick cases with higher-quality arcade parts imported from somewhere-else. (I'm not a fan of Happ/iL parts.) You have to make plastic cuts and install things to control/route wiring but you save as much of the original hardware, too! Microswitches and buttons CAN be saved and repurposed.
I don't know WHY people throw away all the guts. Those parts can cost $2, $5 and more! This adds up quickly and most of the screws are metric, little itty-bitty parts that are hard to find States-side!
If something still works and can be reused, KEEP IT!!!! Zip-loc it so it doesn't get lost!!!!
Happy Friday the 13th!!!
Haters gotta hate. It’s Broke, and Come on People.
Yikes! Dracula was asleep so long he was torturing his victim!
While I am not the deepest in electronics, I once thought I saw something in an electronics catalog about a paintable solution that you could apply to a pc board to make your own tracks with. I wonder if you could just paint over those areas with it to those damaged areas for the grounding track that you showed that you sanded down after you cleaned it like you did?
The ones that hate you should do what you do for one day . Maybe they might stop complaining and start respecting you.
Maybe we need a t-shirt with a "What Ronnie did wrong" bingo card? JK Keep up the good work!
I wonder if putting the boards in a dishwasher with descaler would work to clean boards, obviously you would need to let them thoroughly dry before using them.
34:18 I'm not sure the Internet as we know it existed in 1990, but Usenet existed in 1990, and people could've discussed pinball and PCB repair there and then.
lol, people that would complain you should have the resistor color code memorized are the same people designing impossible driving tests at the DMV.
Channel lock is made in meadville Pennsylvania
Rion Lions, yeah that's probably the name of the person who wrote that note. Also, did you clean your multimeter??
Dont part it out, part it in people come on now🤔
JOE CLASSIC, what is the FLASH test doing to the IC chips to test them and verify they are good and not bad?
Would be cool to see donnie running the camera one time 😁
Hmm. did Ronnie just invent the oldest digital Theramin?
Ron please show us some of these comments, I love to laugh at the stuff.
So do you need to replace the green layer on the damaged parts of the board that you had to sand off. If not for visual reasons then for keeping the board healthy for the long term. Is it easier to short stuff to the board?
Has someone done a gerber file for the cpu board? If so, you can order/have a new one made by a PCB maker like PCBWAY (not a spam/plug).
What the heck was that sound board doing? It sounded like properly messed Ulvo-Sirra siren.
It was thanking me I'm pretty sure
Awesome
I mounted on my Flight 3000 the NV Fram mod. No batteries *EVER* again
Unfortunately it takes 2 of the mods
Here is your next shirt.. "Obsolete as Hell.." welcome.. lol
Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for those big sockets right in the middle of everything
Yeah, the mnemonic about resistors.
Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts But Vodka Goes Well.
(Yes, I know the one about bad boys raping.)
I remember being at a Radio Shack and buying one and the clerk asked, "So you're actually going to buy one of these?" "What do you mean? Is it a regular practice to steal these?" Apparently, it was.
I'm actually very curious what people can hate about? Is it just because they don't think you are doing something right or something?
Usually They know a bettter way even tho they have never done anything
Don’t you have to make sure that all of the vinegar is completely gone or it will re-corrode the board over time?
Yep, that's why he said that you need to then rinse it with water and then use alcohol to make sure it's perfectly dry.
@@johnnybadger2851 he also said you don’t need to use alchohol just let it dry. I’d be afraid to rely on a simple water rinse.
Hey Ron!!
You should make the kits up yourself and sell them.
Why don't you use an ultrasonic cleaner?
You can refuse that reFused board.
Jealousy is a curse .. ...Moses
Ron just do you. F all of the know it all’s. Tell him/her to get their own RUclips and do it the correct, better and best way. 😂
Is there anything you look at and think ... “damn, that’s too far gone for me to fix?? “ It sure doesn’t look like it
It would have to of been outside in the rain for quite awhile for me to think it was too far gone, These are in great shape, Did you see our Star Trek Series? it was pretty rough
You shouldn't complain about people complaining! haha, j/k ;)
Yodelayheehoo
Little old lady who?
