MIDDLE EARTH my first pinball!
« on: February 11, 2010, 01:50:07 pm »
Well, I finally bought a pinball machine
Its a Middle Earth machine made by atari
Its a widebody machine , the playfield and backglass are in great shape
The electronic scoreboard however is not

The player 1 line doesn't light up properly dependig on the number extra segments or different segments do not light up
The player 2 line is either all off or all on , never changes no matter what
I cant seem to find a supplier for these gas discharge displays (LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ONE!)
the 2 other players work great, i checked the connections and cleaned them it didnt change a thing

I also need to replace a few cherry switches
But for the $350 i paid for it :D
