I'm with you. Keep the machine as it was manufactured. Thanks for the video. I love these EM's.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks James Bond we appreciate you watching!

[@SWProzee1Gaming]

So much work on a project like that. But, keep showing us the pinball machines, I will watch the videos.

[@LyonsArcade]

More to come! Thanks for watching SWProzee1

[@psy0rz]

This reminds me of how i designed and 3d printed a coilholder and rewinded it with copper from a transformer. We fixed a burned out molten coinhopper from a fruitmachine that way.

[@svgalib]

Nice work! Found that a cue tip stick is just about right size for the jones plug sockets. Cut the tip off one with the paper type stick and wet it with some cleaner.

[@LyonsArcade]

I'll have to try that svgalib!

[@vedranmaricevic6760]

Great video. I like your voice. I was born in 1975 :)

[@LyonsArcade]

It was a very good year Vedran!

[@MoparStephen]

Perfect - just finished part 2 of this. Got something else to help me through the work day.

[@LyonsArcade]

Glad we showed up in time for you :)

[@gorillaau]

If you work repairing pinball tables, these videos should be required viewing. Especially EM variety. I still can get over the quality of the wiring looms. An art lost as point to point soldering went out.

[@EsotericArctos]

I have done a few older radios lately and the globes are often 50 plus years old, and usually at least one is dead, but I find it is just a little bit of a pain to pull the chasis out to replace globes so I just change them all. As far as the flippers, the DC flippers tend to be stronger as the magnetic fields in the coils are stronger with the power going one way. Also DC coils don't tend to buzz as much. Looking at the mathematical equation, assuming it is money, it could be related to a repair.

[@LyonsArcade]

I don't know if I mentioned it in this video but I eventually figured out the flippers aren't DC on this one, it's just the pop bumpers and the kicker! That's kind of weird, you'd think if anything they'd want the flippers to be DC.... this was in one of those 'in between' eras....

[@EsotericArctos]

@@LyonsArcade likely they didn't go DC on flippers because the coils get hotter when they are held on. Bumpers tend to be very quick snaps rather than being able to be held. AC coils run a lot cooler than DC coils. Flippers may burn out more often if they are held on and running as DC. Once they went solid state it was easier to do DC everything.

[@VintageTexas59]

Making good progress, I remember this game being so fun to play and mine had a few issues with the bonus section, dirty contacts but fine # 400 grit sandpaper and wipe down afterwards using Q-tips & rubbing alcohol made it work again.

[@LyonsArcade]

Got to keep those stepper units clean!

[@b.o.353]

Don’t think I’ve seen this in person before. Neat one.

[@LyonsArcade]

It's an interesting theme and design for sure....

[@Practicedummy1]

I like the bumper caps on this machine. :D

[@LyonsArcade]

I think they may actually be the wrong ones, the originals are very similar though but they have little arms that stick out from the side. Or maybe they used two types on this one... I don't know what these would off of though.... I don't believe they make reproductions of this style.

[@Practicedummy1]

@@LyonsArcade Still like them just the same. Was sort of wondering if at that time period pin makers put that much detail into the machines. :D

[@jumpingjack2605]

Some great info today, love how you explain the schematics

[@LyonsArcade]

Glad you liked it Jumping Jack, see you on the next one!

[@Ajaxaxxess]

7740 - You may have found the answer to the eternal question! Glad you call that part on the stepper the "Spider" as well. The spider is also keyed/flat side so it goes on one way from what i remember.

[@LyonsArcade]

It can go two ways but usually if you look at it enough you can tell which way is backwards :) On the older ones though they put rivets everywhere and then just wired SOME up... so it's harder to tell, because it looks exactly the same even if it's on backwards, it's just not touching the correct rivets!

[@andymouse]

Nice...cheers.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Andymouse!

[@TheFanOrTheMask]

excellent vid

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Gary, we appreciate it!

[@samuelcolvin4994]

If I had to guess that dielectric grease is normally an insulator but it has a specific breakdown voltage.... which is to say at a certain high enough voltage it's insulation properties are broken down or overpowered by the voltage, and it will only be high enough to bridge it when the spider pads are actually over the contacts... sort of like you can see the breakdown point of air when high voltage arcs through it.

[@ETPinball]

Yes, PBR sells 1/2 flipper kits for games with 3 flippers.

[@cliffburridge]

I think the thing with the LEDs vs incandescent bulbs is the on/off times. In these older games, they look better with the slower lighting. Some things are meant to look the way they were made. 😎😎

[@LyonsArcade]

When I was younger I was really into older cars, everybody would put different wheels on them drove me crazy. I liked all mine to have the HUBCAPS they came with, lol

[@VintageTexas59]

@@LyonsArcade I agree, hate these new freaking 18 inch wheel barrow tires on classic cars...just wrong....

[@LyonsArcade]

I'm usually pretty nice :)

[@tomahawk8742]

hi Joe love your video . how would you start working on a dead pinball what would you look at first?

[@orvillebrown1664]

I just bought a Pat hand pinball machine yesterday. The only problem I’m having with it is that it will sometimes not eject the ball. If you have any tips on what might be wrong I would greatly appreciate it. I have been watching your videos on this old machine and they are fantastic.

[@LyonsArcade]

Does it sound like it's trying or is it just sitting there? If it's just sitting there likely there's a switch dirty or misadjusted on the outhole relay or in that line on the schematics, if it is making noise like the score motor is running then it may be that the bonus unit is having trouble resetting and the unit needs to be cleaned....

[@orvillebrown1664]

@@LyonsArcade First of all thank you so much for getting back to me. It is definitely making noises and the score motor is running. I will try cleaning the bonus unit to see I that is it. Thank you again. I will tell you if it works.

[@orvillebrown1664]

@@LyonsArcade Thank you again. I cleaned the bonus unit and it’s working nicely.

[@LyonsArcade]

Very cool basically at the end of each ball it has to count that back first before it can kick the ball out!

[@orvillebrown1664]

@@LyonsArcade It took a lot of cleaning and tinker but I think it was worth the $100 I paid for it.

When you get telemarketers, just make gibberish noises into the phone like Shango066 does. "bleeblefarbleshnarlzler..."

For some reason the car warranty insurance guys always hang up on me after learning my car is over 40 years old.

[@LyonsArcade]

Tell me about it I got a real doozy I talk about on our first KISS pinball video coming up soon... some of the comments we get are amazing

[@psy0rz]

[@mcostafernando]

In Brazil we can register our phone numbers in a government-made list to avoid junk calls. Does it work? Sort of, there's a lot of companies that don't give a f... to that list, but after I registered my landline and mobile phones the number of junk calls was reduced. Do you have anything like that in US?

[@LyonsArcade]

Yes we have a similar thing with similar work around... most of the people that call anyways are complete scammers and don’t care since they are already breaking the law

[@gorillaau]

One dislike? Perhaps he dropped the playfield on his head. That's gotta hurt and embarrass you if someone else is around.

[@LyonsArcade]

We get dislikes all the time, we have professional stalkers now that hate us for being so awesome.

[@ocsrc]

77.40 may be the amount of wattage the lightbulbs used.

[@LyonsArcade]

It looks like a 47 bulb uses .15amp and .945 watts whereas the original 44's use .25amps and 1.575watts !

[@ocsrc]

@@LyonsArcade I am guessing these numbers refer to something electrical. It would not be volts, I don't think, and it would not be amps, so watts or ohms are the only other 2 that could make sense. It would be interesting to see if that was original. If other machines of the same make and model made at the same time have these notations on them. Have you seen notes like this before on machines from this era ?

[@LyonsArcade]

Oh I see you’re talking about the pencil marks no I’ve never seen that written under one so not sure what it is...

[@davidh6713]

I didnt know this machine had a split reset bank 🏦

[@LyonsArcade]

It's so they can treat the rollovers in the middle separate, because they do different things depending on how many times they're tripped. Very deceptively simple design....

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

I can’t , you got it. 😂 Follow along. Don’t some circuits depend on the proper resistance of an incandescent lamp? Bet that was an old operator adding up his charges for repairs.

[@GeorgeFiala]

That's what I thought too. The $2.40 was the tax....

[@bhuff123]

Some graphite in place of oil

[@Jeroen_a]

You just can't keep the old bulbs if you have first made this thing clean and checked everything.... it would be a real bummer that one of the lights dies after 3 days.... ofc it's an easy repair.... but still.... you might want to avoid the disappointment all together :)

[@AiMR]

That's kinda annoying that it uses the capacitor symbol for switches. I guess you're used to it.

[@LyonsArcade]

You mean they use the switch symbol for Capacitors!

[@Tranarpnorra]

​@@LyonsArcade Well, actually the capacitor symbol came before they started to use a similar one for relay logic. This symbol would be the unipolar capacitor symbol. PLC-programming (Ladder programs specifically) uses the same symbol which is a heritage from the relay logic era. It can be confusing but if you have worked in an industry as an electrician, which I have, these pecularities are everyday knowledge. =) EM pinball machines are just one big PLC-program built with relays if looking back in time. Keep up the god work!

[@-abacchus]

Wow, that tilt relay was *LOUD* I've decided, despite working with _and designing_ a lot of electronic circuits, I really don't enjoy schematics - they give me a nose bleed! Also, those red coils really could do some damage, I've got similar solenoids for some of our projects and when energized, you can't hold those suckers from pulling in...!!

Yeah some of them are really powerful!
