As for the ramps, you probably need to take apart the solenoid mechanisms and clean them. Gottlieb machines of that era are way overbuilt and maintenance should be easy. You might also be having problems with their weird smart switches, but those can be replaced with regular leaf switches. If they do anything at all, then your logic and wiring are good. Another thing to look at might be switches (or optos? Can't remember what it used..) further down the ramp. Your ball enters the ramp, hits a switch, starts up a sound/animation, and as it goes down the ramp it'll trigger a second switch to let the game know you've successfully completed the shot. If that isn't happening, your stargate ramps are going to act up. Williams 90s games usually had a third switch halfway down the ramp but Gottlieb/DE only had them at entrance and exit. |

My Comet issue is that after the swap, I had to adjust everything (all the extra layers of clear made everything taller than a 30 yr old PF) , and for the most part they are golden, but the tolerances are so tight that sometimes the flipper shakes the machine enough to trigger the "1986" switches. That and Im missing 1 of those things that keeps the switch arm from sliding off the game, I might just put the one I have on the inside and a dab of hot glue on the outside to keep it in place. SFII has just been a nightmare. I replaced the full assemblies on both ramps including coils, even replaced the factory board with a Rotten Dog replacement, and there's still fuckery afoot. Good news is my LW3 baords should be back any day now! |

TNG is one of the most popular pinball tables of all time. The fact that you don't know that.... You can like the older tables all you want, but they didn't sell nearly as well as the DMD based machines of the 90's --- End quote --- You clearly have no idea what I do, or do not know. And should probably stop assuming so. The golden era of pinball was long over before DMD came around. When talking about "popular" pins... STTNG is never brought up. It's good, I enjoy it. But it is not nearly as popular as TAF, MM, TZ, etc... I did see a STTNG rotting away in a forest in Leadville, CO several years ago... Naff. |

is this because I called you bald at zapcon 4? I'm sorry :( |
