Pinball Repair With Elvira & The Party Monsters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- Our Friend Frank brought us his Elvira & the Party Monsters Bally pinball machine to take a look at, the General Illumination wiring had been changed so we worked on the connectors a little bit to repair the G.I. . He mentioned it was blowing a fuse but we couldn't get it to reproduce that. Some of the wiring was replaced back to how we believe it was from the factory.

I met her at a signing last fall. She's 73, , has a few lines around her eyes, but she is still gorgeous. She's a dancer and has a body most 23 year olds would be jealous of. Fun game, and thanks for the video. Oh, and Cassandra Peterson (her real name) is a huge pinball fan and gave input into the table, along with voicing the game. She's done at least 3 Elvira tables so far.
Given her character, you'd never expect her to be a lesbian.
I just realised that it would be great if your brother worked on the general illumination stuff... G.I. Joe!😁
Now that's funny
System 11. Boogie men were on the bumpers of Scared Stiff. They were to be activated by the bumpers but that was removed from production as was the LED skull pile on SS. Apparently the boogie man arms were known to fly off after time. I picked up a bunch of extra boogie men as they still sell them as kids finger toys today. There's kits to make the boogie men work as well for the skull pile to connect the plugs for it they actually wired the harness for. They'd loop the wire on IDC connectors to more than one pin to distribute the load specifically over a few IDC pins. One wire was fine. One pin was not fine.
Ahhh, they were IDC that explains it. Also explains why it was cut off!
@@LyonsArcade IDC feed through. That's why there's originally several pins on the boards all connected to the same trace. Likely the reason they added those wire extensions on there since they didn't have a replacement IDC feed through connector to replace the torched ones. To be honest I don't know if a single Trifurcon will handle the load as well as multiple IDC pins. I've reverted back to using IDC's looped like it was originally in these applications since I believe it may offer less resistance having multiple points of contact over a single superior one.
Great to see another pinball repair video. … The arcades are ok but nothing beats a pinball for mesmerizing fun. The customer is going to be very happy when he gets this back. Thanks for posting.
One of my former supervisors interviewed for a job at Williams in Chicago. At that time they were doing motion capture for the Mortal Combat, and he met Aerosmith. They were recording motion capture for Revolution X
It is Kombat, not Combat.
That’s a distinction without a difference
Thanks Ronnie, I could not figure out what they did to her on that hack wiring job and yes I did not do that. Thank you so much for your work on her and fixing that connector/board. My dad and I played her today and she plays great and all the g i lights work great. Great video, thanks for filming. I hope you get a lot of views on it. See you on the next video.
Our boys at Williams... Making two plugs the same # of pins on one board can be big trouble. I remember on Star Trek Next Gen, they had one plug for solenoids able to plug into a plug with 50V flipper voltage on it. Nothing would happen immediately, but it sends 50v (which is actually about 70v) to a capacitor on the driver board only rated for 35v. it soon lets out ALL THE SMOKE. And I mean a LOT of it. Ask me how I know.
Anyway, I always mark up one plug with a black Sharpie, and the other with a red Sharpie, so it's more difficult to plug them in wrong in the future.
Yeah they did that a lot.... you probably already know but the System 7 stuff was notorious for the neck connectors being reversible, and I did a video a few months ago about how you can plug the wires in wrong that go to the sound board on System 11 and burn up the power supply....
What a cool fricken game ! One of my all time favorites! I know you don’t normally work on the newer games but your skills never fail you Ron ! Nice work ! I was waiting for you to start work on this one ever since Joe gave us a sneak peak a few months back !
In the words of Radar Analyst Kirkland from War Games: Confidence is high. I repeat, confidence is high! :D
Elivra, The Mistress of darkness. Cassandra Peterson played this character beautifuly.
Looking forward to seeing this machine come to life. This machine is in such good condition, that overlay really protected it well. Going to watch the video now.
Wow, I love the sound of those flippers. So crisp, so punchy, so smooooooth.
Thanks for another great video
You did fine job, we want more new machine repairs...I think you would like the newer machines as well....great job..😊
That's probably my Favorite Pin. I use to play it a lot at the skating ring in the 90's
Oh... Elvira... wonderful artwork... yes... wonderful artwork indeed. 🤤🤣
Thank you for all you guys are doing for us. Be safe and be well out there.
One of my all time favorite pinball games
Great video as always, City Slicker was the last of the 6803's in 1987
I'm not a pinball guy but dang Ron, you and Joe really know gaming! Thanks for every video guys.
Thank you for another unwind for a Friday. Love the content as usual 😊
Shawn you know you're our best viewer right????
@@LyonsArcade Hang on going upstairs to show my girlfriend so she will believe me!!,
Best viewer huh? 🧐
There's a limit on how much current you can pas through a connector. What the designers were doing was spreading out the load across several pins. They were doing this all the way from the transformer. So that's why there are 4 separate circuits. The boards were future proofed by having 4 circuits even though only 2 are use in this unit.
Very nice! They've all got worn out boogie men with arms missing. Mine has some broken plastics. Usual "ghosting" on decals. That one's been redecaled. Great machine.
Elvira and the Party Monsters is using Williams' System 11B. Bally 6803 is *way* different in terms of electronic layout in the backbox. Bally and Williams have merged at the time Bally was making Ramp Warrior pinball machines. The first game released after the merge was Truck Stop. If you come across one, check the plastic on the right side, near the shooter lane - that one has sign, which says "Bally Williams merge", on backbox's translite there's a plane in top right corner, which has serpentine attached to it, which says "Bally is back!"
One of my favorite games. I’m addicted it to it even though it’s difficult for me. Tye arcade that has it, has it tilted up a bit and has new rubbers so it’s fast.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you Kurt, we appreciate you always watching!
Oh this is AWESOME
Cassandra Peterson
She was an adult star and she copied Vampira, the 40s and 50s black and white horror film star.
Cassandra was sued by Vampira for copyright infringement and because there were a bunch of knock-off women doing a mistress of the dark type theme, with the witch style black showing outfits and makeup and hair, the judge ruled in Cassandra's favor.
That Elvira was different than Vampira.
There actually was a knock-off of Elvira, in the late 90s and I think she either wasn't anything more than local.
I remember when we had a local Mistress of the Dark on one of our local stations here in the 70s in PA
It was an independent low power TV station and they did a live show at midnight on Friday night and this knock off woman was doing the intros to the movies.
I think I remember watching her do the intro to House down the Lane
It starter Jodie Foster as a kid and dhe murdered the neighbor who was a perv
I never saw that movie again.
A lot of the horror movies from the 70s have never played again
There was one that had a poster on the wall Racing with the Moon and I can't remember what the name of the movie was, but it was really good.
The husband and wife in the movie were an actress and a director and they were doing a soft core adult film and she wasn't happy about it.
So many of those films I think are lost to time.
And those 70s women that did the Vampira knock offs, they are all lost to time because we didn't have vcrs back then.
But it was cool having independent stations with live independent shows and intros.
I miss those days
It was very natural and the scripts were not always followed.
It was a nice home feeling vs thr corporate environment of today.
👍👍
I now request that you fold the backbox to see if there is a hidden picture! :P
What and awesome meter! ;) Glad you're using it more.
Thank you Todd, you're very generous :)
Elvira! No wonder it has blown a fuse.💥
The mylar makes it smooth!
I remember watching Elvira in the 1980s..hell they even made a Commodore 64 game based on her and of course..that great Oak Ridge Boys song ✋️😊
The Oak Ridge Boys song was a remake (written by Dallas Frazier in 1966.) Cassandra Peterson didn't create the Elvira character until 1981. The other day I saw an episode of CHiPs which had a guest appearance by Elvira.
@@timmooney7528 Yep..Chips had quite a few guest appearances
Dallas Frazier just moved up a spot in my book :) I already admired him because he's good buddies with Connie Smith but he also wrote ELVIRA? What a legend
This looks like it has the traditional Williams flipper bats. It should have the Yellow notched bats, the style that Bally used on this era of machine Part 20-9592-6 😛 Such a great game. Make sure you turn the volume way up the next time you pay it!
This particular one doesn't have the yellow bats it has the white bats, thanks for watching!
Great start Ronnie… looking forward to the next segment. Thanks for sharing. Regards
Very interesting video thanks Ron !
Amazing pinball!
If I remember correctly, they looped the wire from one pin to the next one, ect.
oh that old repair hack looks like one of mine. same rule applies, it shakes apart. Find the parts in the floor, or, hardware stores have mm screws appropriate when no pin store handy.
Hey Ron!!
Hey Jason!
Omg I'm working on that one too
Love your stuff Ron. However... If you ever let a PCB scrape along that table and make that horible sound again.... :)
You'll be o.k. Todd hang in there buddy the noise is almost over. You can hold my hand if you want, we'll get through it
Hey Ronnie! Hope you are all good.
When I saw the silver skull I thought of Terminator they should have painted it white for the Elvira game
If I am not mistaken, the link between Elvira and Elvis is that Cassandra Peterson (the mind behind Elvira and the actress) lost her virginity to Elvis when she was 18 and working as a showgirl in Vegas, according to her biography
I might need new glasses. I saw the title as "Pinball Repair With Elvira & The Third Party Monsters" then thought, hmm...could not license the known ones...
Did I see an Arcade1up at the start of the video? Heresy! Just kidding, I have one myself.
Have you ever worked on Magic Theater?
I have not but I will one day!
JOE, I know you have bridged 1 to 4 and then bridged 6 to 9 by solder bridging the pcb pads together. Its better to have just soldered wired directing to the pcb boards and removing the connectors and headers. You don't want to bridge the connections together because then the fuses don't blow because the current has been bridged so the current will add together. You want the fuses to blow on the correct timing when there is over current. That is why they separated the fuses per each wire because of the timing of over current. It has to do with "current sharing" and timing of the fuses. You mentioned when using Trifurcon terminals and connectors that they will reduce the HEAT in half because they have a 3 sided contact compared to the originals using Non-Trifurcon terminals and connectors when used 1 sided contacts which the heat was doubled?
I did not combine them after the fuses, I combined them before the fuses so the current is not bridged, the fuses will still act exactly how they are supposed to, thank you for watching Wayne!
@@LyonsArcade The designers didn't combine 4 wires together BEFORE the fuse because of "current sharing" for the fuse timing to blow. I think this is why the designers separated the wires BEFORE the fuse also for current sharing. You can always bypass the connectors/headers and solder the wires directing to the pcb to reduce the heat also.
Wayne since they're tied together at the transformer, how does that affect 'current sharing' ?
@@LyonsArcade When using the connectors/headers the specs are rated at a current. Example if the transformers output terminal is 1 amp but the connectors/headers specs are maximum 500mA or 250mA, you can't apply 1amp to the connectors or headers or pcb pads and traces. The pcb board traces can only handle so many amps of current. This is why the designers separated the wires for current sharing. Also the fuse "timing" is based on the current, so if you connect bridge tie multiple connects it will throw off the fuse timing to blow later. They separated the wires into groups for current sharing for the wire gauge size, pcb traces, header/connectors specs that can handle the current maximum rated plus the fuse timing.
@@LyonsArcade Since you're bridge tied the pads together you would have to increase the wire gauge to handle more current and bypass the connectors/headers because the connectors/headers specs max current rating can't handle 4 connections tied together which is 4X adding the currents together. The best thing to do is use 1 big fat wire from the transformer soldered directly to the Pcb to bypass the connectors/header pins. The pbc pads and traces are also max current rated that is why they separated them into 4 pads/4 traces instead of using 1 pad/ 1 trace. They used current sharing to reduce heat and pcb board current sharing layout plus using lower gauge wiring harnesses.
666 on an Elvira pinball... checks out, lol. (22:30)
is that distortion while you were playing the game from the camera or is that due to the mylar overlay? There toward the left of center any time the ball rolls by and sometimes even when the ball isn't. happens big time just after 37:42
I don't care
@@LyonsArcade so it doesn't affect the way it plays I guess. Amazing how well that game does look.
So my understanding is that Elvira had a "soft / kinda" date once. She was infatuated with Elvis, but she was underaged so Elvis ditched her and never formally dated her. She was a fan girl forever but never got back together with him after that.
Thank you sir for the info
The 2nd version of this machine is hilarious. It has tons of sexual call outs during the game that can be turned off through the option menu. I know a guy who turns them off when his grandson comes over and plays.
Could of saved a lot of time if you asked Joe what's wrong with it. :P
Cassandra Peterson is Elvira's real name and assuming it's her on the 'production' tag. #springhassprung
It’s a little bit dark I like it dark normally thanks
Hey! Taxi
Ron go GOOGLE it..😅😅😅
Nobody knows how to have fun anymore, they just google it and do whatever google tells them. No need to think or learn anymore, only memorize useless facts
I still go to libraries in this day and age..have done since the 1970s..that's my source of information
It's hard to believe she is as old as she is she is still very hot and sexy lady
Hello Yodelayheehoo
Hello lil Everette!
Speech not working
Do you ever show your face like Joe does?!
No..he's on witness protection from the FBI..his voice you hear isn't even his nor is Ronnie his real name
No this is not a makeup channel we work on pinball machines
Everybody dated Elvis
I just watched the Documentary about Elvis's wife, and she really put up with the worst traits of him.
He was really bad.
He treated Percilla like garbage.
Physically abusive and just was a horrible human being to her
I don't know why she stayed with him
And he got her when she was like 11
Him and that whole group, all those singers, they all got girls, young girls, and they got a lot of them pregnant.
Just because a documentary says it doesn’t necessarily mean that happened. That could explain why she stayed with him for 11 years, perhaps he wasn’t as bad as the documentary claimed. That would also explain why his other girlfriends have good things to say about him
