WTB Taito price insert plate for coin door
In search of 1 or 2 Taito plastic price insert plate for Space Invaders coin, like the one attached. Ideally a 20¢ playe would be great, but will consider other prices, especially if you have 2 to match I did found a 25¢ version on ebay US for $33 plus another $35 shipping which is JUST ridiculous!!! If you have a spare one of these you can sell me for a reasonable price please let me know. -

The Greatest Arcade Video Games book has arrived!
Nice one Evan. I got mine last week as well and I'm already half way through! The interviews are great. It was nice to read Tracey's insights and hear from the champions and arcade legends in Redelf and DBH. If we play any of the games in the book it should serve as a solid introduction on how to play them as well. Maybe it'll even bring in some new names and faces to the MGL fold. Speaking of which; school holidays start for me very soon which can only mean MGL 59 is fast approaching...*feels the excitement of the impending first coin drop*. 😉 -

Is It Possible To Make A Homebrew Pinball for under $5000 ? PLAYFIELD AND PLAYFIELD PARTS
Talking the need for multiple white boards that introduced another problem, the wiring. Didn't want to use close to 3 meters of colour coded harness and dedicated pinball board connectors and pins for each white board so I come up with an easy way that used just one set of pinball board connectors with a few D sub style interfaces. It kept the wire usage down to pinball board connectors to D Sub interfaces in the head, (that remained part of the machine), and components on the playfield to D Sub interfaces on the playfield. Commercial D Sub cables were the interface harnesses between the head and the playfield saving around 1 1/2 meters of harness but more the saving was not needing to use another full set of pinball board connectors and pins on every white board. To change a playfield was unplug the D Sub leads at the playfield and plug them in the next and ready to go so no board connectors needed to be touched. Suited me fine, I just had to standardize the coil drives, lights and switch matrix pinouts used by the D subs and every white board I made would plug straight in ready to test using only the wire used on the playfield and some D sub interface PCBs. Heavy current loads such as + coil supply and GI supply would of used a heavier style connectors but again, at the playfield itself. -

Black Knight issues
Have you tried this? Do you get anything at all appearing for Player 1 and 2 when using the diagnostic feature? If not try swapping a confirmed display (3,4) with player 1 & 2 display to see if the display is faulty. "Double-check all connections, plug in the machine, and turn the game on. The LED’s will light up. Pressing the DIAGNOSTIC pushbutton on the Master Driver board will illuminate all segments of all displays. This indicates that all boards and cables in the PINSCORE System are operating correctly. Use the thumbwheel BRIGHTNESS control on the Master Driver board to set your preferred illumination level." I'd also triple-check the orientation of all ribbon cables to make sure they are all plugged in with pin 1 positioned correctly. It may also be bad connection on the pin out from the MPU but if Ken worked on the boards he would probably have verified those on his rig? -

Is It Possible To Make A Homebrew Pinball for under $5000 ? PLAYFIELD AND PLAYFIELD PARTS
Have a look at what the HO train model community has to offer pre-made at non pinball pricing. The light was to light dark areas and not a toy being so small and discrete. A Egyptian shaped and stone coloured column sleeve around that light's post would suit your needs I think. I was after lights to light up the otherwise dark areas as a result of pancaking playfields under each other. I had the choose, go OP on the under plastics GI or light from the level above. I thought this was a nice subtle way to light when needed and in my case that would have been the only level the ball was being played on at that time. That "concept" was a test bed for whiteboards, lots of them quickly changed around such is the importance I put on getting a layout that works and knowing I was never getting that right first time around. If you read the post a member wrote about one of the great designers he says in his apartment he had multiple whiteboards supplied by the factory......(just in case he thought of a good layout at home) Playfield tempets yes, lay on lower half of a blank white board for lining up every hole and fastener location used to mount the slingshots and flippers and outhole so the process doesn't need remeasuring every time.- 1
