New pin in the house: DE Time Machine
« on: February 04, 2009, 10:01:46 am »
I've been keeping my eyes open for this pin ever since I played it in Vegas a year ago. Fun theme, good sound, family friendly. Finally found one 60 miles away and won it on eBay for $780 which I think is a steal considering it's in great shape. Needs a flipper rebuild and new rubber rings but that's all. That stuff should arrive today so i should be playing tonight.  :D
One thing I forgot to mention is that I got to the batteries in the nick of time. One of them was bulging and starting to leak onto the battery holder. Another few months and it would have been disasterous for the board.

Got the flipper working 100%. Now I'm having trouble with the player 3 and 4 displays not working. Any ideas how I can test to see what the issue is? Player 1 and 2 are on the same display, 3 and 4 are seperate from each other which makes me think that it's not just a bad display screen. Other possibilities?

Nice! Is that your gameroom in the backround?

I went ahead and ordered a pinscore in the hopes that it solves the problem. It should, but I noticed some burn marks on the main board near the connector for P3/4. I plugged P1 into it in a round about way since they aren't meant to be swapped and there was data flowing (garbage on P1) so I know something is coming through it.
I also installed an off-board battery holder over the weekend. Works like a charm. I'm looking forward to the new display so I can reset some of the settings to match my play (I like 5 ball rules).
Visitor Q, yeah, that's the game room in the background. I'm quickly running out of room and am now at the point where it's one in, one out. Now that Dragon's Lair is done, something's gotta go (likely Popeye).

Looks like a nice setup.
