One Bad Wire Can Kill Switches All Over The Playfield- Bally Eight Ball Champ Pinball Machine Repair

[@geeteoh1]

“Stop talking and start chalking!” Thanks for the shout out on my sound boards. Your stock one sounds great! This machine used the same background as Mr Mrs Pac-Man and the voices are from Eight Ball Deluxe.

[@LyonsArcade]

I made this back when I made the other one, that's why I still didn't figure out the GTO thing, LOL Thank you for watching man, hope all is well in your world!

[@fixitalex]

That's true! One single wire can screw everything!

[@Rep2369]

PCB work with Ron is the best. I can bet I'm not the only one who can no longer say "microfarad" in my voice and not say it like Ron does. Loving the daily vids!

[@paulclarke7571]

Yet another good natured, humor riddled repair. You always bring your A game Ron. Thanks so much!

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you for watching Paul!

[@bhuff123]

I love it when you make a video every day I wake up and watch your videos. That’s why the first things I do before I leave the house keep the videos coming.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Clark I appreciate you watching with us! Take care

Great instructional video. I’ve been battling my Eight Ball Champ sound and voice situation for 15years now. This is the first DIY video for this machine I’ve seen. 😃👍

[@AppliedCryogenics]

If I ever got my s together on my channel, I would definitely borrow from this channel. Especially how he always says the opening line so consistently: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Joe's-- Classic Videogames-- with a Cool _____ for ya this Evening.". That's brilliant.

[@LyonsArcade]

Since you've noticed it, I do that deliberately. I stole the "ladies and Gentlemen" part from Paul Heyman, a pro wrestling manager who's one of the best 'talkers' ever in wrestling. And I don't want to do an opening to the video because people hate watching intros, so I just do it while i'm actually showing what we're working on so we get right to the action :) Works for me!

[@naytch2003]

Ronnie's laugh and humour remind me of Hawkeye Pierce( Alan Alda) from M.A.S.H..maybe I'm the only one who's noticed that..or am I?...hmmm 😉

[@scottgm321]

@@LyonsArcade Go watch the intros on Hand tool rescue he's pretty funny. Keep doing what you do. I love it too.

[@PlumGurly]

@@LyonsArcade -- I get you. On a few of those types of channels, I fast-forward past the opening theme. One such channel I was watching, I watched even less, when the presenter was wearing a shirt with a message suggesting a stand on a moral issue that I don't support. I made a comment in the comments, and other viewers went after me. "Oh, it is just about a charity for those who are suffering with [a certain disease that is overwhelmingly self-inflicted]."

[@EsotericArctos]

Sometimes people will put a capacitor in parallel with with a faulty one to try and fix it. That is really bad as faulty electrolytics can oftenshort, so it is a really high risk thing to do. Best to do what you plan and replace them with caps of the origninal ratings. This really does look like a lot of fun. Much more fun than the earlier ones :)

[@SergZak2023]

Thanks for sharing your wealth of info, Ron. 👍

[@Fixinlikeapro]

If I had to guess the geeteoh fellow likes old Pontiacs. Nice product.

[@j-fbondon2068]

it's like xmas advent calendar Joe's edition keep them comming!!!!

[@joetripp123]

You got the sound on this working great Ron. 39:05 ok i went to LyonsArcade Parts and I'm not seeing this "Pixie Dust" you speak of lol. I did order a pack of those Posca pens though!

[@1976aztec]

Good job Ron

light under the 13 ball is out! edited - doh thought you wouldnt notice! caught me!

[@jasonsteverson4609]

Hey Ron!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Hey Jason

[@djmikolajczak]

The coil your showing at the 4:56 mark might have a bad/week solder connection on the left wire. You can see through the hole where the wire attaches to the coil. But it could also be just how it comes across in the video

[@waynegram8907]

JOE CLASSIC< What does the solenoid select lines do? I'm not sure if the Speech board is outputting and sending out a signal to certain solenoids on the solenoid select lines or what

[@robertsaltzman2481]

Lmao... are you alright .... thank you for not editing that! Lost my entire breakfast sandwich out my nose but thanks

[@LyonsArcade]

hahahaha i'm getting better at it

[@seafarerninesixnine679]

Would you recommend getting any of the new pinball machines from Stern, American Pinball or Jersey Jack's?

[@LyonsArcade]

No they're too much money, I would not recommend buying anything that expensive but that doesn't mean you shouldn't, I just don't buy expensive toys.

[@rrowan327]

Hey Ron, waiting for the next video on your "new" cnc machine with Donnie.

[@LyonsArcade]

We're gonna do one tuesday

[@TrapperAaron]

Look like melted shellac to me on that old sleeve. I'd pay the extra money for a new coil. Just an FYI, audio potentiometers usually have a shaft for adjustment. Also designed to pass signals in human hearing range.

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

Hey Joe have you guys ever worked on a 1977 entertainer pinball machine Picked one up for free but looks like the motherboard might be bad

[@LyonsArcade]

I haven't worked on that specific one, but that's an Allied Leisure game I think, if it's a gameplan they have a brand new board you can put in it....

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

@Joe's Classic Video Games Dang, it was hoping you had a video

[@wackyworldofwindios3476]

getting R done.

[@LyonsArcade]

Trying to!

[@ellrick]

T-shirt idea: Hand in front of a circuit board with "c'mon people" written on it. I can guarantee at least one sale.

[@randycarter2001]

I'd put heat shrink on that arm that pushes the new switch. The old switch was isolated from the chassis by the nylon spacer. The new switch the finger that the arm pushes is live.

[@LyonsArcade]

The arm is isolated

[@randycarter2001]

The op-amp chips on this board are not critical. Many different part numbers can be used. Any good op-amp will work since it's audio frequencies.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Randy

[@ronnierandolph717]

Is Pixie Dust in your links for tools? :)

[@srteach70]

the piggy-backed capacitor will be 1330uF in total. What would that do to the system?

[@ocsrc]

Did you have a nervous breakdown in the Start of the video? Did you use a 4 letter word you had to edit out ?

[@LyonsArcade]

No I was just messing around trying to be funny.

[@LowSpecLinuxLaptop]

Do you have an Amazon link for Pixie Dust 😅🤣😅

[@JonS-TX]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now and one thing drives me crazy. Everytime you are messing with circuit boards you are dragging them across your wooden countertop and it makes the most horrendous sound. It's also scratching the hell out of your countertop (as noticed in other videos). For the sake of all of our ears can you use foam or some kind of mat? LOVE the videos though, thanks for all you do for the hobby

[@LyonsArcade]

Read up on how a camera compresses audio

[@scottgm321]

Sooo, why did the screen go black when you said "pixie dust?"😂😂😂 I want a sound board with you saying People come on, Come on, when the ball drains down the center or out lanes.

[@julieklein8611]

To pronounce the name (geeteoh) sound it out. It is actually GTO

[@Grantherum]

shoot again light still dead?

[@LyonsArcade]

The Shoot Again light never lights during attract mode on any pinball machine

[@eldonerc2524]

The flipper is to strong if it tilts the game when it hits. 🤣

[@jssdalton4609]

I wonder if it's pronounced like the car "G-T-O"?

[@LyonsArcade]

I believe it is!

[@julieklein8611]

Yes it is GTO! Thanks for the great videos I love watching them with my husband
