Thank you ! I am new to pinball and learn so much!! Bought a pinball from a hack and quickly learned "it's ready to go" has more than one meaning . With your help I will become able to repair mine to dependable service. Thank you x.....
thanks for taking the time to share your tips and tricks... much appreciated!!
YOUR INSTRUCTION IS WELL APPRECIATED
I've gotta couple lazy pops in going to be rebuilding
evamping you could say this weekend.... although an older video from you guys it's still nice to watch and hear your suggestions I'm going to try out the business card contact cleaning method :-) thanks for all that you guys do!
You mentioned that Gottlieb used a pop bumper board with System 3. That's one way to implement a one-shot pop bumper but Bally and Stern were doing it in software on all their solid state pinballs, from 1976 through 1983 and probably after that too.
sorry about the multiple messages RUclips said my message was unable to post and to "please try again..." Now I see every darn time I tried posted! didn't want to cause any problems. thanks for your time and efforts I look forward to all your uploads even though I've not been posting many comments I want to show my support! -Jesse
As always! Great video!
The Orbiter you discuss, with the radial slingshot. You mentioned that this was the only game with this "3rd type of jet". World Cup Soccer has something very similar, with a rubber soccer ball dome that spins when the goalie is moving. You can shoot from the left flipper and bounce off the left side of the ball, and it slingshots it at the goalie. Also, the ball save on the left drain lane will shoot up to the ball, shooting off and scoring a goal, if the conditions are right. It is a unique feature that is not seen often.
I have a DE tales from the crypt... when i got it the bumpers were so out of adjustment that the skirt could jam inside the base. was stuck when i got it and stuck a few more times before i cured it,... so DE must have some protection too.
Ray and the voice behind the camera are awesome! I found myself mesmerized and engrossed watching you all (including John) describe the functionality and problems usually found in a Pop Bumper! I don't know if there is another channel like yours geared for the Coin Operated Game audience, but finding yours today was sheer joy!
Very nice series. Thanks for doing these.
Other pins with no pop bumpers:
The Shadow
Big Guns
Grand Lizard
Awesome thanks for this video I can now rebuild my pop bumpers! :)
You guys are getting good at teasing us about what you will do next. :)
I'll be looking forward to what you have to say about the battery holders and at some point the multimeters. :)
Have you seen the PBR GTB skirts that have the activator pin too long ? There is a post on pinside where a member mentions the pin is about 1/16" too long. This causes the pin to get on the flat edge around the spoon dish, thereby locking the pop bumper on, thusly locking on the pop bumper coil.
Even though it's not a true pinball machine but it does count.
Had a quick question replacing my bumpers and installing Led wedge light socket with 4" leads, the old light wiring had wire on one side and a wire with diode on the other will i still need the diode on the led lighting?
shiznit!!!!! ray rules!!!!
Ray Rules!!! Can you shout out the guys at the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park NJ they love your videos!!!
I'm still confused ;-;. Hi. A year has passed since I needed help with my bumper fiasco. Can I get a link to a few bumpers I can get pre assembled? Ones that I can plug right into the power supply? I really need this. I failed at the pinball machine I was building, I want to try again. I'm determined to get those bumpers and a counter. I need help. I don't know circuits and wires very well, so explain like I have no idea what a pinball machine is.
Williams made their pops and slings CPU controlled around '87/'88 (cyclone/banzai run era). Data East took a while longer..... 1990-ish.
