4 pop bumpers, I'm sold. I thought the explanation of switches self cleaning was very clear, the video showed the movement spot on.👍🏻

Shooting a new video before the old video had been completed. Ron is repairing a pinball like a journey or quest if you like, where you discover an issue or fault that sends you off on a side quest. You resolve the side issue and come back to the main one. You continue onwards toward the completion of the sympathetic restoration of the machine.

Your info about the light sockets was very educational. The machine is looking dressed for success now, and only needs the troubleshooting, which never seems like trouble when you break out the schematic. This is my favourite part of your videos as it’s always pretty hard for me. .. Understanding volts, watts, resistance etc has never come natural to me, so I need all the help I can get, and your videos are extremely helpful to electrically challenged folks like me.

When I needed to change where a set screw hit a shaft and I did not want the screw to touch the shaft which can put a burr on the shaft making it harder to remove. I would cut a very small piece of solder and put it in the hole and then run the set screw down tight. I never marked a shaft that way. Also if the shaft needed to be moved slightly, in order to keep the set screw from seeking out the old set screw indention I would do the same thing. The softer solder will fill the old mark and the shaft would not move.

Watching Joe repair EM machines vs. the electronic ones....I think I'd stick with an EM. They may be fidgetty, but with TLC, they'll run until the sun explodes.

@LyonsArcade 5 ай бұрын

Yeah if you enjoy the EM's (some people don't like the older ones) an EM is better imho because they cost nearly nothing to maintain. You don't have to worry about anything expensive going bad.

@@LyonsArcade i like them both but i think the older machines have more personality. i love the newer games but there's just something about older games that i was attracted to as a kid in the bowling alley arcade. it is nice to see that the older ones are easier to fix

Just found and subscribed your channel. I keep watching you play firepower for 2 hours. Im a tool crazy former service tech, and i bet you have endless fun restoring these machines. Is there anyplace in salt lake that services these? If i had the money i would restore one myself with your videos. What a great channel!!!😊

Come on people - you messing up the algorithm 🥳

Us the people, we are not messing up the algorithm. EM machines dont have them, espeically this era.

If one was OCD about the sound, I guess they could use some heat shrink tubing on the switch lever.

@timbober1 5 ай бұрын

Interesting how ingenious the designers of these machines were. If you have a moment Ronnie, what’s the optimal temperature for soldering wires vs replacing a transistor capacitor or resistor? I’ve had mixed results with my soldering technique.

@LyonsArcade 5 ай бұрын

There's not really an optimal temperature, it has more to do with your technique. If you have it set on 600f and hold the soldering on a wire for 20 seconds you're going to scorch it, but if you have it on 850 and hold it on the wire just the right amount of time you won't scorch it. So you have to develop an ability to look at the solder as you're working with it, and not let it get too hot for too long. If you're having problems where it's not hot enough, you may need a better soldering iron, the temperature controlled ones (even the cheapos) work a lot better because they keep the temperature consistent even while it's on the metal heating it up.

@timbober1 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, I will practice, a few years ago I attempted to fix the wiring on my truck’s trailer “harness” it was the middle of winter in an unheated garage. The results were unfortunate, I upgraded from a “gun” to a soldering iron that looks similar to yours with much better results. I liked the gun’s “instant” on, the iron is a way better tool. Appreciate videos

On those PBR flipper kits. Have you ever had the issue where you had to clean the new EOS switches because they wouldn’t make contact when new? It’s like they have some coating on them you have to clean off.

@LyonsArcade 4 ай бұрын

I haven't seen that... I usually don't get the whole kit, a lot of times I don't replace the EOS switches.... but the few times I have they didn't need cleaning....

Hi! you have a new subscriber on the new channel. Btw I always open KZfaq on the "sunscriptions" tab. I don't wait for the algorithm to display new videos, they come right to me (at least I hope)
