@ 11:30 I think the correct technical term is "Caddywompus" , not "Wockeyjawed" 🤣
look's fun to work on the pinball machine
Thanks for a really enjoyable series on this fantastic old Bally classic. I remember playing this when it was new. …I also repainted 2 of these cabinets about 20 years ago. I have nothing but great memories of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Those flippers sound like my wife yelling at me 😂😂😂
Ron, I would love to see you work on that old wooden rail pinball game I was seeing in the background in this video series. It looks really neat.
Thanks for the help with buzzing flippers. I did a flipper rebuild and it buzzed like heck.
Thank you for another great video. I think your fire power was the longest video. But I could be wrong. I appreciate it because you make the videos even though you don't have to.
If Ron and Joe can't fix it? It may be permanently broke. lol
I have a Captain Fantastic, it survived the fire at the MGM in Las Vegas. There’s still black soot in the cabinet. It functions perfectly. Fun game, I’ve always enjoyed it, since it came out.
Yeah I remember that fire. It happened just before I was stationed at Nellis AFB
Love what you do really enjoy the videos infact you gave me the confidence to repair my Barcrest Vamp it up fruit machine that had a battery issue and it is now fully repaired and working so keep up the good work, also love your other videos on clocks and radios.
Enjoying this set, thanks for sharing. Regards
Glad you enjoy it!
i think most your audence were born before the 90s. We can take the criticism. Excellent videos.
Oh well -- if at first, you don't succeed--!
I just replaced a joystick PCB with a third-party component. The replacement PCB was fine. It was the wiring that frustrated me because I used a joystick harness where the signal lines were all screwed up and put out of order (by a likely drunk or otherwise substance-confused factory line worker) and I had some wire bundling issues. Put a bunch of wire underneath buttons it tends to bundle and may cause a plunger to get stuck! Separating and zip-tying signal wire away from the buttons helped quite a bit.
Happy times! Takes a lot more time to debug and fix things than it should sometimes!
Great ending 😅
Joe, really appreciate when you make game play videos with a steady camera 👍👍, but even better when you do it with the glass off.
Happy fixin' and flippin'.
That has really nice action. Very nice game
It’s pretty sweet!
Hi Ron, I love the vids on the old radio and jukebox stuff. i see you have alot of cool stuff in youre home. Is it possible you will make a roomtour of your collection? Thank you in advance! much love for the channel man.
Great job Ron. Is always great to see you work through it and how just a small adjustment makes it play so much better ie like the flippers Thanks Bob
Thanks 👍
Hey Ron!!
never knew that I should compress the flipper assembly when you are tightening the coil stop. regarding the bally drop targets they probably realized it was cheaper to remove the bar and two screws without fundamentally changing the machining of the drop target mechanism. better working mechanism was probably an unintended side benefit. going to bet the shelf of the drop targets needs a little touch up with a file to increase reliability.
I've always said, "whopper-jawed" instead.
Sweet beat at an hour eleven. I picked up my geetar and jammed with a pinball machine. I'm sampling that.
Sorry, its at 52 minute mark 😄
I wondered about the drop targets. New coil sleeves for the flippers? The coil stops can be misaligned like you mentioned.
RON, pleeeease don’t leave us hanging with that random drop target drop when resetting!! I’m having the same issue on my Mata Hari, even after disassembling/cleaning/new targets! 😩😩😩
It's wear on the little bar that runs across and resets them, on this one the end hole is wallowed out so it can't lift them all the way. Also the new targets are slightly different than the originals and drop more often, hard to get them perfect....
@@LyonsArcadeThanks for the feedback. I’ll take a closer look at the lift bar. The linkage on the ends seems to fit pretty well yet. Y’all rock with your vids too. I’m a huge fan!
I just LOOOOOVE this video. Help me to work on my Captain Fantastic machine. Some of the issues are EXACTLY what I have and thanks to you, i fixed them. The only one I have left to fix and not a problem on your machine, is that my score does NOT collect the 300 points in the 300 point lanes. The bonus advances but NO 300 points , therefore no chime. Can you offer some guidance and which relay I need to look at that helps to collect the 300 points? LOVE ALL your videos!!!!
Finally figured it out thanks to all these great videos. Thank you!!!!!!!
I've said it before watching your video's helped me to read the schematics better, still don't understand how to tell which switch is the switch that holds the relay on.
Great Video! At 52:00 you stumbled upon the same issue I'm currently experiencing with my first EM. Recently got an Old Chicago and it was working great...for a week! Been beating my head against a wall for the last week trying to figure out what is going on. This gives me a huge boost of confidence to dig back into it tomorrow. Question: What do you use to clean all the gunk off of the mechanical parts? I know I need to scuff up the switches but I have gunk built up on some of the wheels, gears and other moving parts. Whats best?
Ron, you mentioned how the pop bumper skirt can get stuck and lock the coil on causing problems. I have had this issue on an old Bally machine with metal spoons. What is the best way to fix this issue?
I think there is a bulb out, on top of the left flipper, in the red triangle. Anyway, my uncle had one of these in his bar a long time ago, but it was upgraded to an LED score board, with 7-segment LED modules. He opened the money insert door, and we played for hours, for free.
He mentioned that at some point in this video. There is no bulb socket at all in that red triangle.
Hey Ron! Great job, except for the target-reset fail at 1:07:47
Why was that important for you to point out?
When the game kept resetting, and after years of watching the channel I looked for the clues and the answer was pretty obvious (and hidden in the title too) ....
It was still Broke!
I would call that largely successful. 😂
There has to be an add-on sound chip for this pinball machine!
It demands music!
Yeah, a retrofit with a soundchip bonus track of "Pinball Wizard" should be made for this game!
Why would an Elton John pinball game have a song from The Who?
It's hard to make it work well for EM games, but you can have things that play when certain relays turn on, the issue would be making it change with other switch hits or putting 'callouts' or sound effects on. Tricky to do. Anything can be done, though.
@@LyonsArcade I understand people DON'T want permanent changes to collectibles but something like this would be a very obvious. Perhaps a NON-DESTRUCTIVE add-on that could easily be removed?
(Of course, they want money for licensing the music! Ve have vays of gettin' around zat!)
This pinball machine was influenced by the movie Tommy. There's that whole scene where Elton John is dressed like the character art of the pinball machine!
"Pinball Wizard" is also not a bad track and totally fits the game!
@@justinfiorini3142 You have NOT seen Tommy, have you?
@@justinfiorini3142have you ever heard of Tommy?
Yodelayheehoo
whopper-jawed :)
Then you have the metric to empirical conversion. China will sell you a 2.50cm ring and call it an inch while an inch is 2.54cm. The longer the ring the more this error accumulates.
That's a good point!
They can fix it. I'm not sure the customer is willing to pay.
Ronnie, did you just open the video by assuming my gender?!
Well you have a right nut that’s the first context clue
