kimbleseven Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Advice needed. When I go to put the new side rail nails in should I pre drill the holes and then push the nails in? I don't want to dent the new rails. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Pre drill is a must and nail the spiral nails in only enough to just grab the side rails don’t over nail them in otherwise it will look like crap and because they pull in and it will stand out like dogs balls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Ok thanks Rob. Do you hit the head of the nails with a hammer? And the last bit do you push them in? Or put some tape over them to stop a hammer scratching. The side rails look great and I dont want to dent or scratch them.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk I just use a normal hammer hit straight on the heads but take my time to be careful with each nail, you could use a punch if you like but be careful so it doesn’t slip on the rounded heads Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Didn’t they come with the protective plastic film on them that you remove after installing?

kimbleseven Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yes the film was on them but underneath the film was the sticky residue. I peeled the film off so the nails would not overlap the film. next time ill do it different Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Windex cleaned up the side rails nicely. I have now put the head on and playfield in. Still need to put the top apron together and back on. A few more issues I found: 10amp fuse tripped for lights behind the backglass. I went to jaycar and got some alligator leads and a resettable circuit breaker. This thing is fantastic for testing. No need to buy 30 fuses. I cleaned some light sockets and got rid of all old #44s and replaced with #47s . Still need to get some #455 flashers but now the breaker is no longer tripping. I tried to reset and start a game. The score reels still arent 100% (need springs)but they are resetting. The R relay isnt pulling in. The drawing says it is the hold relay. After hours of looking at this and that I found the r relay and looked at the manual; there is a start up sequence that it mentions which I found very helpful. it said to check the tilt switches and anti cheat switches (which was also shown in the drawing). Ended up simply being dirty contacts on the tilt switch inside the door. Cleaned up almost all contacts and now almost everything is working good. The flippers need a rebuild which is next on my list. The credits unit is stuck but I will leave that for the moment. The playfield is in okay condition so im not going to touch it up just a quick clean and wax. New thermometer ribbon soon too. More to come with photos.

kimbleseven Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Printed some new scorecards and 20c 1 play labels thanks to Inkochnito. Red leds behind the coin entry plates look fantastic (photos dont do it justice) Also under the faded coloured inserts (red purple and green) they look nice. The leds dont look bright in person only.when I take a photo... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Also put new flipper bats on and soldered new end of stroke.switches on. My soldering skills need improvement... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfclark Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Your tilt ring need to be shifted towards the front of the cabinet. The plumb bob on the ring like that will also stop the hold relay latching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 It isnt touching even though the photo looks like it is.

kimbleseven Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Graeme. Welcome to Aussie Arcade. Maybe head over to the introduction page and tell us a bit about yourself and what your latest project is. Yes it will be but I want $1001 for it. Unfortunately thats out of your price range.Is this for sale when finished? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Pinball rescue playfield plastics arrived the other day. Started putting these on today along with new acorn speed nuts, screws, posts, and washers. Looking good. Also put the instruction cards in. Im used to the yellowed card on new white. The custom decal is on. It was not packaged well. It just had a do not bend tag with some flimsy card. The decal arrived bent. The holes dont line up with my screw holes and the missus applied the sticker (yes a sticker not a decal) a bit on the piss. Im a bit disappointed with the decal. But it still looks okay... kinda...

Cursed Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I was thinking about getting that decal, now not so sure. Appreciate the honest comments. It does look very 'new' in the photo compared to the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I havent changed those plastics yet in the photo. Also have new post and plastic lane guides etc to go on. Might brighten up a bit after all the other new bits are there. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 New plastics are on. All except the white one which has higher posts than the rest.

It's sometimes easier to get new pop bumper sockets rather than trying to get enough solder off the old ones to get them out of the bodies. You still have to do soldering either way.

kimbleseven Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have been tweaking a few things to get the game to play correctly. Adjusted a few switch contacts and things are working pretty good. After a 5 ball game the ball drains and it says game over- but the ball kicks out to shooter lane when it is meant to stay put. any tips on why this is happening?
