Arcade Collecting > Pinball
I finally got a pin...RESTORED AND LOVING IT.
shardian:
I understand what you mean. The knocker seemed to fire a few times after I started the first game and hit a switch or two, then it didn't fire again. I don't have a memory battery pack on the game, so it may have fired because of high score reasons (there is a dip switch setting for 3 credits on beating high score.
IIRC, it fired three times in succession, then once more after 3 or 4 seconds. All four strikes sounded pretty weak.
This would lead me to believe the CPU is in fact sending the proper signals. I'll go ahead and pull the coil. I am thinking it is bad.
shardian:
Ummm, I just had an accident, and I'm not really sure why or how.
I had the playfield glass setting to the side, and just now picked it up like I have many times before to put it back in the machine. Without hitting it on anything, twisting it funny, or even breathing on it, it just frikkin exploded. Luckily, tempered glass doesn't cut your hands when it goes.
Needless to say, I am a bit pissed off now.

I feel your pain man....
Been there, done that.... One of those things that just happens :dunno

ChadTower:
Sometimes old pin glass just does that. Probably had a million weakening scratches you couldn't see. It's old, worn, and you tweaked it in just the wrong way for that piece of glass. Be damn glad it didn't happen putting it back in the game - then you'd be picking a billion bits of glass off of your playfield. That is never fun.
shardian:
I'd much rather have all the pieces in the game than strewn into every nook and cranny of my garage. It went everywhere when it exploded.
