The beginning of my gameroom

My wife and I purchased a Pirates of the Caribbean pinball machine for our game room two years ago. I now own a Galaga 3 (Gaplus) cocktail, a and a Space Invaders Deluxe (SID). The SID need repairs, and will probably be sold off when I am done.

I would love to own a Dragon's Lair someday.

Medieval Madness Drawbridge Alignment

Andres, I think my drawbridge was sitting a little high when I got it. I didn't mention it in my repair log because my "fix" involved applying downward pressure to the drawbridge, and bending the me…

Medieval Madness: Pinball Repair Log

Last update: January 26, 2010.

My wife and I are now the proud owner of one of the grail games of pinball collectors: Medieval Madness. We bought it from a game room store on September 3rd, and it ended up having some issues when we got it home. I have been gaining a lot of confidence repairing this machine as all of the issues have been pinpointed within a couple of hours. So, I am enjoying my time repairing this machine. On the plus side, the machines warranty includes all thContinue

Hey brian, Iam having a problem with my Super Pac Man power supply. It is blowing the fuse (1/4 amp 250v) at FC1A shown in the pic. I took my VOM and checked the path on a 20k ohm setting and the path from the fuse jumps over to D103 right above the fuse. But when i check the ends of D103 it shows me a Infinate number. Im not sure what D103 is? Is it a Diode ? Would my readings indicate that the path is not complete ? I was expecting 0.00 like when you test a fuse or trace from one end to the next. Or am i not understanding how D103 should be tested ?

Hey Brian, got a little problem with the caps i got from BR. I went to remove one cap and it appears to have three prongs on it where as the new cap has only two. These were the caps Bob said would be for the G05/bally. They even have the same ratings. what do you make of this. All the other work Rectifier/ and transistors are done. This cap problem is the only thing holding me up now.

I love pinball, but work/stay away from town during the week (Riverside, CA) so a weekday is tough for me. I'd love to get a pinball machine, but my 1st would be Addams Family, still pricey, so just vids to date. Keep me posted about future meetups please.

Thanks for the comment. I posted then turned off public viewing. I think I will post in restoration thread to try to be considered for the restoration contest.

Ah, well, I had seen the option in here to add an RSS feed, that is probably the purpose they designed that for....

I will have to do that for my blog.
