flux first, then a tub of molten solder.

and that's why the damn things fall apart every 30 plays. i just went to fix a LOTR pinball 20 minutes ago that i dropped at the location 2 days ago and the damn thing broke already :angry:

What went wrong with it?

lilshawn:
there is a rivet that holds a ridiculous plastic nub on the flipper. it's supposed to touch the EOS switch telling the computer to switch the duty cycle of the flipper coil to just hold the plunger in. the rivet broke off and platic thing they riveted on was gone. the tiny metal arm left isn't long enough to reach the switch and activate it.
so someone playing the game holds the flipper button and the coil stays on full power until the fuse burns or the coil burns up.
luckily the fuse blew.
If stern was SMART about it they would have had the computer go... "oh!...I fired the solenoid and the EOS switch didn't close... maybe i'll just keep the high power on for X time then switch to hold power so we don't kill it."

If you're implying that the playfield is one of the gaudiest things you've ever seen then :stupid
Late to the party I know but Wiz of OZ... WTF? Ever since I started watching that one aussie build Coconut Island I've wanted to tackle a custom pin one day. Thought about all kinds of crazy ass themes. Last Star Fighter, Michael Jackson, Neverending Story. Never contemplated Oz, figured it would be garish. Looks as tho I was right.
