Got this Boxerdog on Sunday unshopped for a bit of a fun project..bored.

Thats to Burra for helping me pick it up.

 

Only had the brain wave to take some pics after I started pulling it apart.

 

Just threw in a few pics at random last one is where im at.

I've basically stripped everything in sections including everything under the playfield (anything with troughs etc) Learnt the hard way if you don't clean out all the troughs under the playfield all your cleaning is for naught.

bloody hell this thing was filthy. The middle of the playfield was just as bad but tony made a clean spot in the first pic :)

 

Problems I've found.

 

Red's eye shut plunger was broken.

Eyes were stiff had trouble centering, just pulled out the metal rod that acts like spring on both heads cleaned and dry lubed them good as new.

The light PCB for the extra ball, 2x,4x etc had cold solder joints and needed to be reflowed.

Just found the right popbumper ring/rod assay is busted and the metal collar too.

 

Things to do.

Waiting on double clear star posts so i can finish rubbering the playfield etc, you can see the old ones in the last pic around Teds head still there.

Anybody know what the lastest revision roms for this game are? its got LX-4 program atm and I think L-1 for sound?

Mates offered to come round and touch up the playfield top of the right flipper etc seems to be common wear spots on this game.

DMD missing lines.

Rebuild flippers.

Clean Ramps.

Cliffy the kickout.

Need to track down some sling shot plastics.

Other stuff I cant think of.

Nice score AK, but stop now!! seems your getting to heavy into the pinball thing. You do realise from now on you will think you know everything, and won't listen to anyone who hasn't at least owned ten or more pinballs. :lol

They are good to tinker with mate and I think RS is a mighty fine game congrats on the score (how much did you pay hmm)

Welcome to the C club;)

Don't you hate when asswipes can't adjust the flipper height to stop flipper drag. :x

 

Yes, assholes to lazy to change the flipper bushing..... :evil :evil :evil .........5 min job

 

IMHO 90 % of playfield wear comes from laziness on the operators/owners behalf ! :x :x :x

I dunno if I want to upgrade the roms now :) got a ripper of a score yesterday see pic.

I'm really loving this game, FUN is the best word to describe it. I've had more fun on this pin than any other I've played.

I rebuilt all 4 flippers yesterday which made a huge difference(might account for my score)

Only things left are tracking down some sling shot plastics, the old ones are shagged and get the play field touched up.

Guy selling them in the states but wont sell over seas :(

I ended up repairing the DMD myself.
