Appreciate you, brother. Going through mine and might replace these as preventative maintenance.

Possum Joe's Classic Video

[@ericandcaroline]

Kind of cool to find hints regarding the history of where the machine was on route. Blue sticker on the coin door. From Anne Arundel County Maryland.

[@paulclarke7571]

"Microfarad" fest! Always one of my favorite moments. Love the voice for that Ron!

[@slowride7747]

Couldn’t stop laughing at that Battery and your hand looked like “THING” from the Addams Family saying “ c c common people!!!! Absolute legend!!!

[@v8nagrom]

Loved this, Ron. Looks like an easy fix but it's surely not if you don't have the right experience, the knowledge of where to look. Keep up the good work and don't care about haters.

[@LyonsArcade]

The Haterz are just lonely :)

[@afattori316]

Love your videos!!Thank you for the effort and entertainment!

Another great video! 👍✌️

23:00 Tap tap tap... "Come on, people!" 😆 (I was so expecting this)

[@Petri547]

Always a good thing, when someone gives to Gottlieb machines more years to play. At this state Gottlieb begun to have problems and the company was shut down for good at 1996.

[@LyonsArcade]

I love me some Gottlieb!

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Great video!

[@ffirstllast3328]

Shaq Attaq is one of my all time favorite machines, very fun to play!

I once made a coin cell holder... out of LEGO! That thing was ginormous!

[@LyonsArcade]

hahahaha

[@purplepeak8575]

Joe, I've finally done it! I got Countdown playable!

[@LyonsArcade]

I knew you could do it man

[@purplepeak8575]

@@LyonsArcade still a few problems though. The knocker was the thing holding it all back, It's burnt out. Read a forum about how a solenoid should move freely and the knocker was stuck. The left flipper gets stuck or doesn't engage and feels weak. Where the extra ball get is the ball gets stuck because the light has made that plastic sink over the years. Getting that Flipp all in one board helped a lot.

[@Ukpinball1]

Great fix right there Ronnie boy👌👍

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Jimmys_Pinball

[@markjackson1444]

It might not be broke anymore but with all the neglect and dirt this machine shows my bet is that this customer will be back. The machine really needs a complete clean, new globes, new balls, new rubbers plus fixing what ever else ain’t right. I wouldn’t be giving this any warranty past the front door of your shop. You fixed it great Ronnie, but what else is lurking about waiting to fail??

[@LyonsArcade]

Yup, been there, done that. I don't mind if people bring them in and want to clean them themselves, but it'd be better suited to clean them first so that I can troubleshoot what's left but people might not understand that if they havent' done it a lot before so at least we were able to get it booting up for him.

[@danijelcar5184]

Nice that was a quick fix 😎👍

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks for watching Danijel!

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

I can already see a shiny game coming soon. Yet anouther one that will come back from the dead with Ron and Joe's helping hands.

[@EsotericArctos]

Sometimes they overrate the voltage if there is high frequency pulses. The DC may be 5V, but sometimes pulses can appear like a higher voltage. With that said, on 5V line, 50V is a bit overkill and there is anecdotal evidence that capacitors that are majorly overrated for voltage can actually cause damage to the capacitor longer term if run dramatically under voltage. You know what they say about opinions and everyone having one. You do you. Everything I have seen you do is perfectly safe and acceptable.

[@LyonsArcade]

yeah I've always kind of thought that when you wayyyyy over rate the voltage on one that doesn't sound like a good idea, even though in theory it should be fine, it just always didn't sit right with me. Now in this instance with the 50v it wasn't a big deal but on radios and things when they put 450v in where it originally had a 100 or whatever, that just seems like a bad idea. Recently I saw Shango talking about what you're saying and I thought "ah hah! So I was right all along!!!" lol To me it always just seemed a bad idea just because its' wasteful and can't be a benefit so why do it? If somebody told me they took a 50 out and put a 250 in, I would think "what a waste"

[@frankgagliano9677]

Great video Ronnie, I was wondering did anything fall out the bags when cut those off. The battery connector was very strange, I was hoping for a long saying of c'mon people. Thanks for filming Ronnie see you on the next video.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Frank! Merry Christmas!

[@rrowan327]

The famous spring power battery. Helps keep the battery spring time new. They also subdue any voltage spikes in the battery LOL.Come on people don't upset Ron, stuff like that will give him grey hair.

[@LyonsArcade]

I don't have any yet but it's gotta get here any day now

[@ENM-RE]

Just picked up a Gottlieb System 3 Super Mario Bros and noticed this machine also has a distinct electrical humming! Is this common on all of the older Gottlieb System 3's? Or do you think a capacitor / the DMD display may need to be fixed? Ours sound very similar. Thanks!

[@LyonsArcade]

The buzzing on any of them never really bothers me, so I don't usually even notice if it's doing it and don't ever try to get rid of it so I'm not much help to you, sorry. Usually it has something to do with a bad ground somewhere, OR, they all did it I'm not sure if the System 3's all did it. You'll hear people say you need to do a bunch of ground mods, and then after you do all of those ground mods you'll notice it still sounds the same. It's one of those things you end up chasing all over the place and since it doesn't even bother me I typically just leave it alone unless it's just crazy loud.

[@ENM-RE]

Thank you so much for your response! I was worried it was a capacitor issue but honestly the noise doesn’t bother me! Just don’t want something to go wrong haha

[@jasonsteverson4609]

Hey Ron!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Hey Jason

[@samplesmasher]

Looks like the Eproms were multilingual, 'cause it showed "geschlossen" on the Display at the beginning ( which means 'closed' in german) . Once again a quick fix, too bad that we won't see much more videos about this nice Gottlieb.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah I like the System 3's! I had a Stargate in one time, very cool game

[@AppliedCryogenics]

Ackchyually, that's not a June bug. It's a Halyomorpha halys Stål, common name: Brown marmorated stink bug. Jeeze Ron, get it together!

[@LyonsArcade]

Ackwusually

[@psychojohnny805]

i saw the battery and was like C'MON PEOPLE

[@LyonsArcade]

That's EXACTLY what I thought!

[@edptrs9040]

Thanks for the video, I might buy a system 3 someday with the same problem.

[@interconnect-]

Hey Ron, when are we ever going to see your beautiful mug? I saw a reflection of someone in the Shaw Attaq, gasped, and thought it was you for a sec. I damn near gave my wife a heart attack from the hearty gasp. It was Joe though, haha! We need a big reveal of what you look like Ron… it’s time. Haha 😅

[@LyonsArcade]

This isn't a makeup channel

[@naytch2003]

Go see him at the shop..you people that ask to see his face probably live in the same country..I don't, I live on the other side of the world

[@Grantherum]

Their Jerry rigged battery holder worked though didn't it... I mean, surprised they did as clean a solder job on the board as they did.

[@LyonsArcade]

It worked!

[@pauz2175]

Stop acting like you’ve never seen a dual spring’d zip tie battery holder before Ron. It’s actually genius. Lol.

[@LyonsArcade]

Look Pauz, clean your pinball off before you bring it in next time, o.k.?????

[@pauz2175]

@@LyonsArcade haha. Sounds good Ron. Hope you’re doing well!

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

You should do a quick video showing what all's in the shop

[@MoAloha]

Great video! Do you give advice on repairs? I've got the same machine and I have an issue with it I'd like to ask you about. I'm pretty handy at electronics and I just need to find the part first of all and whether my troubleshooting is accurate. Thank You!

[@Zepphd2]

What the?? Was the battery at least wrapped in electrical tape so it wouldn’t short? 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your brother’s families!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Merry Christmas Steve!!!!

[@JacGoudsmit]

26:34 What' do I think is the matter with the General Illumination? Well, I think it's broke!

[@LyonsArcade]

It's definitely Broke!

[@irieman442]

Do you smell hamburger? I could have sworn i saw a butcher! The last generation of pinball games were really cool. I used to love to play Genesis and Earthshaker. What I have learned from watching your videos, the playfields have so much elaborate gadgetry, the just don't seem to hold up very well. All of the ramps break, the wireform tubes rust, the plastics break. I am sure some of these machines are almost impossible to get parts for. I do think they are some of the most fun machines made. The new machines are really something to see but I'm too dumb to remember all of the sophisticated rules and levels. Plus they are so high priced. It's kind of not fun when you have to spend the price of a car for a pinball machine. Great video as always.

[@LyonsArcade]

yeah it's one of the reasons I like the simpler ones, i'm working on them so the complex ones aren't as fun to repair!

[@paulclarke7571]

@@LyonsArcade I think new machines are like the fancy cars of today. Too much crap that can break. A person/human only need so much 'stuff' built into something one uses. In so many things out there, it is just overkill. The new pins are fun to look at but the rule sets are just WAY to deep for the average joe like me (and I'm guessing most folks). Thanks again and again for all you do for us pinball lovers Ron. You bring quality and amusement with every video you make.. Cheers, from Canada!

[@darren1720]

0:37 look like bowcat paws

[@kevtris]

those are definitely 1uf ceramic caps. If it was say, a tantalum, it'd have a polarity marking on it. Probably an X7R dielectric going by the tolerance and the time period.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

He thought it would work just fine.... Heh heh heh!!!! If only you had a dollar, for every time you heard that....

[@DjResR]

On old schematics the curve was used to mark the outside foil of a capacitor (used to shield the capacitor from EMF) and capacitors had a marking for it too sometimes despite being non-polarized._

[@aidinpalumbo]

I think it needs a full restore in order for it to be shiny

[@DigitalConfusion]

Shouldn't a possum leave a five toe foot print? So I am guessing felis domesticus. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@PlumGurly]

Was that actually a Junebug? Maybe my view was off and I didn't see the colors, but that looked more like a brown marmorated stinkbug. BMSBs are an invasive insect species.

[@LyonsArcade]

I don't know the difference between them, so I'm not sure

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

06:14 Missed it by THAT much....

[@davidg-m1768]

I’m guessing the springs on the batter was because they didn’t have a holder and couldn’t solder direct to the battery so soldered springs to the wires and cable tied springs to battery to make the connections. Amazing what ‘come on people” will do instead of just waiting and ordering a cheap part. Really liked this video - the owner knows his limitations so gets it checked out before he starts his project - real world practical. Saved himself a bunch of time as unlike Ron he prob didn’t know to go straight to those caps.

[@LyonsArcade]

We got it goin' for him, it was coo to have another patient in the house :)

[@curocks8360]

What about that resister on the backboard with the huge scorch mark around it?

[@envisionelectronics]

Always waiting for Joe to take the camera so we can see your mug. But it never happens 😩

[@Draugul]

I know how his mug looks like. Just go to the Merchandise shop. It has the "Play At Joes" Logo On It. 😉

[@LyonsArcade]

That would never happen because I edit the videos :)

[@KoolKman]

I always imagine Ron looking like 'Tommy Lee Jones' caus his voice sounds just like his from the movies (and I mean a YOUNGER TLJ too!)

It be funny if it was still in there❗️ possum time‼️®™️ 🤣🤣

[@LyonsArcade]

That would have been a GREAT video lol

[@nealdietz7063]

Should have had him clean the machine first

[@markhod1960]

You should really get a esr meter to check caps also joe

[@rrowan327]

To be honest I think a transistor tester would be a better option for Joe and Ron. Like a TC-1, I don't think they really care what the series or parallel resistance of the caps are. They just replace them.

[@tattmanndann]

Too bad he didn't want the full shop job, would have made a great video!

Is the possum living under the playfeild? Even if it's a raccoon 🦝 this machine is at the right pinball hospital. Besides nothing could be as scary looking as this pinball machine I made in a video game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYXVcmibed2Zl5o What happened to the rock ola videos It skipped from a forever rotating basket to you fixing the amp but in the amp video the basket can find home and play a record Lol did KZbin delete a video on ya vs that system 3 that has no schematics? Just curious cuz it's fun to watch you bring dead machines back to life..
