My New Pinball!!!


spacies

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I just bought a new pinny!

Pretty excited about this one. Apparently it all works but the ball doesn't spit out to play. I am sure you guys can help me get it working again!

 

Here are some pics:

What do I reckon? I think you already know the answer to that. :D

 

Absolutely awesome, mate. Black Hole is a great System 80 pin. You will have much fun and frustration with this pin. :)

 

Make sure the ground mods are done for better reliability. Also, if the backbox spinning disc motor is the original one and doesn't work, you can get a replacement grainger motor for it.

 

I love the multiball on this machine, one thing that is lacking on Haunted House. The audio, while quite basic, really blends in well with the theme and game play.

 

It truly is a nice looking pin and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

 

Congratulations Malcolm.

 

Cheers,

Nice pick up spacies. check the fuses.

my HH wouldnt kick the ball into the shooter lane, it was a blown fuse.

 

the guy that sold me HH said he had an electrician look at it and would cost $150 to repair,

 

so i bought it non working and it was a fuse blown as mentioned above.

 

cheers Ian.

I don't know much about pins but looks like I am about to learn!

Yeah Danno. Awesome huh. We should be living in Auckland by the time of the NZ meet so you will have to have a game mate. Can't wait to get it.

LOL because I know bugger all the fuses will be the first things I check. Then I will be on here asking for help if it doens't work.

It will be awesome in Auckland because Hamish, Yee and the pinball wizard are there. They can fix it and I will play it :D

 

Good one Spacies!

 

I though JP was your first pin?

 

Thanks Foot. Yep JP was the first.

 

Good on you Malcom :)

 

Much, much, MUCH better than the EM you were thinking of buying a few weeks ago.

 

Keep the updates coming as you resore her!

 

Yeah it is much better. I am glad I didn't buy that EM mate. Thanks for the advice though. Yes I will restore it to better than new :D Well, hopefully!

 

Drooool.....

 

Very nice mate.

 

Cheers!!!

Malcolm, did you had to go and ruin everyone's day now by telling them how much you scored it for? :D :badgrin

 

Once again, top score and good, quick trigger fingers. They didn't catch you sleeping on the hunt.

 

Can't wait for Auckland next March. If the meet is anything like the one that was on earlier this year, it will be totally insane.

 

Jasen (Acejas), you going over again. I'll bring the bourbon this time, mate. :lol

 

Cheers,

LOL, I couldn't help myself Dan. Ha ha ha.

 

My Mrs gave me $150 for my birthday to use for a game board I wanted from the USA. Instead I will use it towards this. So that means I have to pay $166.52aud.

 

Bahahahahahaaaaa.

It was a fluke. Right place, right time.

Question for ya.

 

Whats the best way to transport this machine?

Back box folded down or removed completly?

 

Depends how you are transporting the pinball to start with and where it is located and going to.

 

If you can leave the backbox on, great. These System 80's aren't normally hinged to fold down. If there are no stairs, either end of the journey and you are able to carry the machine (they are heavy, mind you) you can leave headbox on and just remove the legs and slide into ute or trailer. A pinball trolley would be good if both places have a flat surface and located on one level. If it is going in a van, then you may have to lower headbox to fit inside, once you have removed the legs also.

 

If you remove the headbox, ensure you take pics and/or mark connectors where the connectors go (eg. J1 - P2), before removing them and dropping them down the back of cabinet. I personally try not to remove connectors and just fold the bacbox when sliding in van and then lift headbox back into position and bolt down again so it is stable while being transported.

 

Are you using a ute or trailer and how many helping, Malcolm? Are there stairs at either place?

 

Also, when sliding into trailer or ute, etc. use a piece of carpet to help slide the machine in and not damage anything. Or, you can use a metal roller, such as a vacuum wand or a timber broom handle as a roller to roll it in with ease.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Dan.

I am arranging transport to get it to me and want to give them intsructions on how to move it.

It will be going in a furniture truck. They have been very good with moving my stuff so far.

Do you think it will be ok to leave the legs on and they tie it to the sides of the truck wrapped in blankets?

 

Thanks mate.

Furniture truck, you say? :D Too easy. The blokes can carry the machine straight onto the truck and tie it securely to the sides with both the headbox intact and all legs still on. Shouldn't be a problem this way in the truck. Maybe a large, thick sheet of cardboard placed in front of the headbox and playfield to protect the glass, might be an idea, before they throw the blankets over it for added protection.

 

Cheers,
