Arcade Collecting > Pinball
First pinball. cleaning the playfield. UPDATED: pictures added
shardian:
Yeah I mostly want to see overall pics of the machine, but I would also like to see a high res pic of each board in the backbox.
grbgemen:
here is some quick pictures. the connector tabs on each board are about the same condition all around as the picture posted. same with the terminals in each connector. i have the back glass off of the machine for now. the machine is also not on its legs at the moment.
EDIT:: also, i did hook up a LED to the top left chip like the repair guide states and it does light up after 5 seconds.
shardian:
From the looks of it, you have gotten one of two things:
1) a Home use only machine
2) a restored and very well cared for machine.
From what I see there, you have a darn nice machine. More pics please. Oh, and judging by the condition of your J5 connector, I don't think repinning is as much of a priority now...

While true, as far as I can tell the backglass has no flaking. There is no visible ball swirl on the playfield. That puts this one a step above "run of the mill" - especially for $250.
grbgemen:
as you can see, the cabinet is a little beat up. some scratches and dents, but it should clean up nicely.
few other things:
tried wiggling the j5 and j6 connector. and the picture i posted earlier of the connector was the one right below the battery.
also, i removed the switch from the front coin door that was through the 25 cent plate(you can see the whole in the pictures). this leaves me with 5 wires attached to nothing on my coin door.
-one red
-one orange/white
-one brown w/stripe
-two yellow
the two yellow were twisted together and attached to one terminal on the switch. the orange/white was attached to another terminal. this left the brown and red wire.
i just touched the red wire to the two yellows twisted together and the machine blew up...haha jk. there was a tiny connection spark. the sound chime dinged a little tune. i heard some clicks. quickly i glanced at the score board and saw some numbers other than zero displayed. and then that was it.
i tried to repeat the same thing but nothing.
EDIT:: Correction, two sets of two yellow wires. the brown wire as a white stripe on it. orange has white stripe also. i assume that the orange/white and two yellows go to one coin switch and teh same for the brown and other yellows. question is, what is this red wire.
and i was testing some resistors for continuity on the bottom power board and found one that is not showing any. i will get a pic really quick
EDIT2:: Last picture. some type diodes. second and third from the left have no continuity. if you look at the bottom picture, you will see the orange/white wire i mentioned above, and the brown/white wire.
