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 Pac-Man, 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.

You know Bret, I think EMs are more your speed as far as repairs go. No complicated electronics parts to troubleshoot, and replace. I've never worked on EMs (I prefer faster and more complex games of the past 20 years). I suspect you will be more ...

I bet that happens as often as someone finding two pinball machines for free at a garage sale. :-)

A monitor. ;-) Seriously, there isn't anything special about the monitors in cocktail games. The game board does the flipping for you.

FS: Techno Drive $350!

Have you considered listing it on eBay? It appears to be in terrific shape, you could list it as Pickup Only, unless you would consider shipping. P.S. The graphics on this game look nice (I found ...

Medieval Madness: Pinball Repair Log

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 withing a couple of hours. So, I am enjoying my time repairing this machine. On the plus side, the machines warranty includes all the parts I need for 90 days.

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.
