Michi Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Before pic. Wow! What did you use to clean up the mess? Michi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I just desoldered it and used isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. I did it after I removed the components and after I put the new ones back in. A lot of the mess was flux from the old solder and poor soldering . If it's really hard to remove I chipped the worst off with a jewelers screwdriver, very carefully. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yeah it's not that far off. I still want to check all the coils, coil diodes and the power supply before I plug it all in. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks to @Slypinball for the heads up on a fully populated playfield at a bargain price. I hope to get back into the pinball restos in a couple of months. Gotta love this forum and the great people in it.👍 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I got a lead on who the guy was that threw this machine out so I might go and pay him a visit and see if he's still got the translite. Stay tuned. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I nearly bought a Last Action Hero pinball machine from him about a year ago, as far as I know he still has it. I didn't know it was the same guy until recently. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythepinmonkey Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Replace the fuse clips on that PSU, or you'll be burning out your shiny, new wafer connector fairly quickly. :rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well the playfield turned up today with thanks again to @prowler logistics and @Slypinball. Fully populated playfield for $130 including delivery from Vic. You can't complain about that. I'll pick the best one to go in the machine but at least I've got plenty of spare parts now.

BIG Trev Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 The mechs appear to be in better condition than the one in the machine but the playfield is just as bad sadly. I think it's still worth the money to be able to assemble a working playfield with good mechs and while I've got one working I can look at restoring the other one.

BIG Trev Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Trying to pick the best bits from two crap playfields? It's all part of the fun isn't it. I should have everything I need except for the larger of the two plastics that sit over the magic mirror. It won't be mint but hopefully it'll work. I've screwed the boards back in for now so they don't get damaged It's time to take lots more photos before I go much further. I'm going to strip the top of the playfield in the cabinet, give it a clean and fit a sheet of mylar on it. Then I'll reassemble it with the best bits from both. After that I'm going to check the mechs underneath. I should have the connectors for the psu by then.

BIG Trev Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't know wether to be excited or nervous.😉 It's getting close to powering it up, now these parts have arrived from Great Plains Electronics. I've decided to strip the second playfield for parts to get the one in the cabinet operational and when the second one is free of parts I'll look at restoring it. Then swap all the better parts over to it. At least that way I can, hopefully keep the machine useable while the better playfield gets restored. Does that make sense?
