Pinball Magic Clean Up

Recommended Posts

Thought I would make a start and give it a bit of a spring clean. Not sure why I'm so fussy but can't play it until it's as clean as I can get it. Spent a few hours on the headbox area today. THIS THREAD PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY MR SHEEN :D

 

Typical burn

And finito

All new globes although they looked OK. Really great lightshow Capcom did on this so will leave globes in place as LEDs just wouldn't do it justice.

Forgot to take a pic of how dirty the light boards were. Cleaned up very nice.

And all around the speaker panel and board area.

Trimmed the translite by about 1.5mm so that it sits flat now with no bulging.

Cleaned translite both sides and backglass both sides. Well that's the headbox area done.

Started with a heavy duty cleaner from my old detailing days and then you guessed it Mr Sheen, Fastest subway in the west.:rolleyes

And while it's off replace all the globes and flashers in the PCB under the subway. Nice and bright now.

Yep it will come up nice Mark. Copped a hammering at pinfest right sling link stuffed and the left about to let go. Flipper rubbers torn. I have some nice purple superbands to go on and some titans for some of the rubbers. It's nice to have spares and i think they will all fit.

Tried a couple of white led's in the faces. looks good but a lot of flickering in attract mode due to the great Capcom lightshow. I will have to see. I have a few different types so will see what looks best or just go back to globes.Tried getting to the red flasher at the back left.

 

Bastard of a spot. I have dropped the holder and can't think for the life of me how to get to it without taking things off.....and todays job will be removing shit to get to the feckin thing :realmad:

Pinball Magic Clean Up

 

So I got stuck into the cabinet and playfield this afternoon.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160930/2d6917c16f844e646fd1064a75659ad8.jpg

 

Got the vacuum out and gave the cabinet the once over.

Pinfest hooligans. :lol

Lucky to have some spares. If your going to change a link you might as well change out the sleeve as well. :023:

Can someone tell me what activate this flasher. Pretty sure it's the switch for the wand ramp but can't get it to fire yet. Had fun trying to pick it up from down in the depths behind the hand. And this I did several times. :realmad:

 

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160930/dacce972a0e3f60d6a8c018cb5132dde.jpg

 

This took ages but I can't live with errors. Takes me back to CV another game that's almost impossible to keep error free.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160930/0fd9035106eddf9a768b82d921d1a333.jpg

 

Well this is about as good as I can get it. Mutton dressed up as lamb but it's my lamb. :055:

To be fair the pictures make it look better than what it is but its come up well. Shame someone lifted the Mylar and it took some playfield art in the middle of the flipper area but other than that I'm happy with it. Played well all weekend at Pinfest so should be a reliable thing in the home.

 

Finally going to have a game and realised Mrs JP has hit the hay. Bugger I was looking forward to giving it a crack. Oh well

Crap I started this at 4pm and now it's 10:45pm. Oops. 2 tins of Mr Sheen later and I'm done. :p

What's wrong with this picture lol.

No wonder the left sling was a bit retarded.

 

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161002/821ea900150abe0e0ab047015c4c4339.jpg

 

Much better.

 

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161002/9b303fd0456c42f1ca759b08a80332a7.jpg

 

Oh and this happened. Oops.

 

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161002/e186e446042199f24573c9257d505eff.jpg

 

Apparently there is a locking device to stop the speaker panel coming forward and dropping out the back glass. So the speaker panel came forward !!!! when I had a ball stuck and gave the machine a firm shove to clear the ball and got more than I bargained for. Back glass fell forward smashing over the playfield glass.

Out with the vacuum again. [emoji23]

 

Until I get a new one. The new and improved version. Roll it up to get to the globes. This could take off..... But I doubt it. [emoji33]

Thank god it wasn't worse. I had a playfield glass just explode in my hands when I bumped it against the machine. I'm still finding glass inside the cab :redface

 

Yeah the playfield glass is such a pain when it explodes and goes everywhere.

This one just scared the crap out of me cause I wasn't expecting it and then tried a last minute lunge to save it. :lol

But you can see how that worked out Max. :rolleyes

 

On a brighter note I have been tweeking the gap on the switches in the bumper chamber sling and the pop bumper. It's going off now.

I've never played one of these that are adjusted properly and the ball goes in and just falls out. This thing is soooooo sensitive now I'm loving it. Playing the way it should. Have to wait till tomorrow for the glazers to open :redface and everything will be back to normal.

 

Well as normal as I get. :unsure

Ordered some bits and pieces for this game last night. Found some drop targets and thought why not. I must have known something. Mandy broke 2 this morning. [emoji23]

And even though it's older it still deserves a matching blanket to keep it warm at night.

That's all folks. [emoji106]
