What pins have been coming thru the Dedshed


Recommended Posts

Starting on the top.

 

Fit the cliffy set.

 

Swapped over the metal posts. Polished in the drill before installing.

 

Sanded back and polished metal parts before starting to install.

Just wondering if you do any mod with the two posts each end of the swamp?. Those posts get a smacking and all the machines I have seen, even 6 months from NIB when the machine was current at least had elongated holes if not snapped posts as a result. The worst I saw was the posts and tee nuts completed ripped through the edge of the playfield.

 

I did do one Addams I made up an L shaped steel plate that went over the tops of these posts so the posts were all tied together at the tops of the posts as well as the Tee nuts at the bottom. Pretty sure I changed the post types as well to allow the mod. It seemed to stop the damage. Maybe the Chiffy set has such a piece?.

 

Love your resto stories by the way.

With the amount of play it will get, it shouldn’t need any modding.

 

Although a couple of holes had thicker posts that had to be redrilled with the nut instead of tnut.

 

I almost certain that these were already thicker with the nyloc nuts and washer.

 

Good point no less. [emoji108]

@Autosteve

These the 2 posts you speak of?

 

They are thicker thru posts with nyloc.

 

I agree that the upper mini post could be upgraded to same as lower full post but wonder if it would hinder the free flow past the flipper without hitting.

It only takes millimeters to affect design.

Looking at this pic shows that a full post may fit but I don’t see the need with flipper and rail placement

Yep that is them. I did need to change them to similar that have a thread out the top so I could get the plate on the top to tie them together and fit barrel rubbers on them. Very hard to pick but it did go somewhat to stopping them, bending, snapping or worse, tearing out of the playfield.

 

Was the holes damaged on the original playfield?. Maybe your machine has never had an 11629 coil put on the thing flips flipper?

Ahh.

There in lies your problem.

Yellow 11753 is the thing flip.

And the mini post would only cop a hit if upper flipper is held up when thing flips too hard at the post.

 

11629 2 lowers

11753 thing

11630 upper.

 

Old holes were fine.

Yer I was lucky to get the other techs to fit coils let alone get them to fit the right coils. I was well aware the coils were supposed to be the weaker 11753 but the machines often came back in with 11629s in them.

So then i can continue as usual.

 

All the mini posts are bigger through posts anyway. I’ve had to redrill a few now.

More rails polished, this is what takes some time but well worth it.

Lol.

Had a quick Indy job to do first.

Remove POA and clean, re rubber underneath as well as add plastic protectors.

 

Now I can do Addams.

The first time I removed the tilt playfield on my Indy cost me 6 stitches & some loss of blood. You see I never took one off before & it was jammed on the shaft, I pulled it too hard & it came off but it all that force kept it going until I slammed my hand into a stainless steal metal part. I learned that I did the removal all arsed about. My bad I guess..:lol

Ok.

Busy couple of months are finished. SHPC set up was draining but now done and dusted.

No more work is being booked in currently as I need to finish Addams and sort a heap of my stuff first.

 

So finally back to TAF.

 

Sort the shed out and organise parts.

 

Trough metals, magnet board, bags of screws and ugh, harness.
