Rich Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 personally love Mr. Sheen, been using it since the 1980's. although the formula has changed it still does a great job IMO. some people are for and others against/have other preferences.

kimbleseven Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I have read wax can help protect the playfield. But since it has a clear coat I thought the wax my help protect the clear coat Sent from my AGM A8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) The pinball bug has bit again...I've moved house and this machine has been in storage for the last year and a half. Back then i soldered in some replacement coils for the flippers, but I must have mixed up some wires (maybe the wound coil wires..) and blew the 5amp slow blow fuse. Can anybody post a close up photo of the left and right coils, with where the wires and wound coil wires are meant to go please? Can't believe I stuffed this up...

kimbleseven Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Ok. I have found the left flipper coil is blowing 5amp slow blow coil fuse. I have 2x A-20095 coils. Would these be ok or should I stick with the original A-17875 coils? Don't wanna break the drop targets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'd stay with the 17875 and not the super flipper "red wrapper". Those drop targets are laid up the back for reason. You have to generate ball speed in motion to hit them. None of this cradle, hold, aim, stuff. One of the games when your're on a roll and in sync with the game it all happens. Just going to more powerful coils to me is a short cut. Just fix the flipper problem IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Ordered some new A-17875 coils. Maybe the 20095 coils would be better suited to Genie? I'll leave them in the parts box for now. The flippers are pretty good anyway. The one thing about system 1's that really annoys me is the pop bumpers. I never seem to get them set perfectly and the small hits never seem to pop the ball properly. The problem was sorted on system 80's with the pop bumper board. I remember reading up on Steve Kulpa's website years ago how he modded his joker poker with sys80 pop bumper boards. The website has since disappeared but I found a link on pinside to a way back save of the website. (And maybe someone on here mentioned it also) I've got a bag of goodies from Pascal Janin in France. So I'm going to try his remake of the ays80 pop bumper boards on here. Having the Pascal 4in1 board is handy because it comes with 5v output terminals for this. I know it's not original but I'm doing it anyway. I'll update here with some details and images of how to do it just incase someone else decides to do the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
