I have a Windy City puck bowler No schematic with issues. Any thought would be great. 1. Sometimes I get a strike and the pins do not reset and I have to shoot the puck down again to reset the pins. 2. Something more troubling than (1) I get 9 nines and it scores it as a strike and resets the pins? Thanks Much!!!

Looks great! I have a 1969 United Epsilon. I'm absolute loving the video series here! How'd you transport the back unit downstairs? Assuming appliance dolly but I'm VERY interested in knowing. My back unit seemingly weighs 500 lbs!

I am really enjoying your videos,i saw a episode of Pawn Stars where they bought one of these machines, the end was heartbreaking cause they broke the front of the machine for a gag,im sure people that restore these were not amused being that parts im pretty sure are very scarce ,i have no interest in these machines but i do enjoy mechanical things,i have been working on cars since i was a little kid and i can fix pretty much anything. I have to ask,how long would it have taken them back in the day to build one of these machines? it would have been nice if they had used plugs on these score wheel assemblies instead of soldering everything, my god that wiring looks like something out of a nuclear facility,lol, there must be miles and miles of it, ill send a subscription your way,very cool videos.
@PinballMayhem9 күн бұрын
Thanks! I'm guessing it is just like making a pinball machine. the main harness is wired on a pin board then it is laced up. Then the back panel is laid by the score reel panel. Things are soldered up and installed in the cabinet. Not an easy job!

It depends if the arm is stuck due to old lubrication or if it is something else locking it in place.

On old machines I like warm white LEDs on the back glass, and also in mushrooms/pop bumpers. I don't like the cracking on the back glass paint around the incandescent bulbs, or the burn marks in the middle of the mushrooms/pop bumpers.

Appreciate the video. Years ago I picked up a 3 jokers (the add a ball version of straight flush). I fought with that game forever and never could get it working right. I’d given up and not touched it for years. This series got me going on it again. My knowledge has improved a lot since then but I did pick up a couple tips from your series. Got to this video with me about at the same stage. 2 little scoring glitches to adjust but game is finally functioning as it should! Thanks so much for the series.

I have an Arduino, and I have a program loaded on it. It does what it’s supposed to what I have it hooked up to the computer via USB. But when I try to run it off of a 9 V battery, using the battery jack,it doesn’t work. Would a logic Pro be good to use in that instance?
