I had a teeny tiny soldering tip for ya if there's a place I can send you a link to my vid.

this one`s so easily done i don`t know why you can`t bring the graphix back to original saying your not an artist is a cop out iv`e seen some of your other work and i know you can do it . Go on have confidence in your work :)

Could I hire you to work on a Cole ovision unit? If so I will text my email address. Thanks

That's how we see it too....

Yeah I think this is a really good one for the fade, it actually kind of looks appropriate. Thank you for watching Crystal!

Better Days are here again :)

Yeah I hate when they do that... or wreck classic cars.

@@LyonsArcade Especially Mustangs!

Thanks Jon, we appreciate you hanging out with us!

Thanks David, we appreciate you watching!

Yeah I like working on the ones that need a lot of work!

It's on it's way!

I filmed this quite awhile back, I'll do a video that shows how to take it out but I'm always way ahead, so if I film it today you won't see it for quite awhile!

Yes it is!

Thanks joemode101, we will!

Coming Soon!

Yeah we've had to part a few over the years, it's a shame but what can you do. I have a few that are in even worse shape than this one!

I've never had a Dr. Dude, maybe one day!

I agree with you, being able to see the finished product at the beginning is very important!

That would work pretty well!

Let's Do It!

You've got to convince her to go on vacation to Charleston or something she'll like SC. Thanks for watching Roy, we'll see you on the next video!

Very cool, I've never had one of those! Thanks for watching in France!

There you go :) Thanks Bob, we appreciate it!

We're gonna fix it, don't worry!

We're gonna get it going Brendan :) Thank you for watching!

Thanks grfeld84, we appreciate you always watching us!

Do it, we need more people saving them while they're still here :)

Thanks for watching, Tim!

You might be addicted Chris!

That diagram is in the manual, you can download the manual at www.IPDB.org for most pinball machines including that one. Thanks for watching!

The early ones yes you could just detach the heads. The later ones folded down like you're thinking.... we've actually bought them before with either the head or the body missing, I went to an auction in Sumpter, SC once and there were about 40 pinball machines there, that the heads were all missing to. So they were just selling the bodies, pretty much useless unless you want to part them or hack them into a coffee table, which I did not... So somewhere, there must have been 40 pinball heads with no bodies. Horrible.

You oughta go save it Michelle :)

@@LyonsArcade ill see if he will let it go! If so i dont think its header can be saved. So for parts itll be!

Tomorrow's is a DOOZY.

A Good Friend of Mine, Follows The Stars... Venus And Mars Are Alright Tonight

It's going to be awesome!

Thanks brony, we appreciate you watching!

Thanks Jas we appreciate you watching!

Thanks Troy, we appreciate you watching!

I've done a couple before, they work pretty well!

Thank you Danijel!

Thank you Saskia, how do you find time to watch all of our stuff? We appreciate it!

@@LyonsArcade I dont work.so have all the time in the world ;) x

Hi master Taco, yes it sucks it's been so beat up but we're going to get it up and running :)

Honestly all we do is spray clear coat on it out of a spray paint can so there's nothing special to it, I don't really like to film it because there's a lot of people that can do the high-end stuff and do a great job at it, I'd feel a bit pretentious pretending that all you need to do to clear one is spray paint it.... with the way we do it though, with acrylic hand painted touch ups and a pretty much destroyed playfield, it works great.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I'm never lost, always around doing something :) We're working on many many things, thank you for watching Ricardo!

It's definitely well past what most people would fix!

Rode hard and put away hard

LOL It loses a little bit in translation but funny :)

HOLD ON ITS GONNA GET BUMPY

@@LyonsArcade C'mon scary music!!!!!

Some of them get pretty rough for sure...

We're gonna do it!

We will!

That's a good idea, I never thought of that :)

We'll see!

@@LyonsArcade You did one before.. I am sure you can get it working.and presentable............. something for me to watch each day while working from home ;-)

Coming soon :)

Sometimes, but not often... it just stretches way out sometimes. There is a Daytona 2 Arcade game on here that we did video of, if you watch the first video then the second you'll see like almost a year went by before we finished it. I usually save the footage though until I'm actually done so I don't leave people hanging with unfinished machines....

1. That may help, definitely. Couldn't hurt! 2. It's better to do it that way, but when they're really gritty we have to just spray the actual surface down and go to town. On a machine that's in better shape though yup I'd put it on a towel. Thank you for watching Dave, we appreciate it!

I hope you find one to save!

More videos soon :)

Simple Green works wonders, that's some strong stuff, LOL

Hopefully!

Here you go, check it out! - kzfaq.info/love/uDDNTFs-BLcNYq4DO-BYYA

Awww, thanks Ahilker, we appreciate it.

Glad we found them!

@@lwilton yes I did notice that 3 lights were first time turned on and later they were off. The LATCHES are the PIA chips? Some Pinball games Coil driver boards and Lamp driver boards use SCR latches. I have noticed pinball games will solder a resistor across the lamp socket to adjust the timing of the SCR. The resistor acts as a load to the SCR latch, using different resistor values will adjust the SCR latch timing that is what other pinball repair techs have told me that is what the resistor is used for but not sure if this is true or not. Other pinball games will solder a diode across the lamp socket, which All the lamp sockets will have the diode in the same polarity direction. I don't know why they would use a diode in the same polarity direction soldered across all the lamp sockets.

@@lwilton The Lamp driver boards that don't use PIA chips and FET drivers but use Decoder chips will be connected to SCR's. The MCU will address the decoder chip to turn on or off which SCR outputs. The SCR are driven by the decoder chips which are a logic DC voltage to the Control gate of the SCR. The Resistor soldered across the lamp sockets will put a load on the SCR output which changes the on/off timing of the SCR. I think these lamp driver boards were before PIA chips/FET driver boards. When pinball games switched over to PIA chips and FET drivers. The Diodes soldered across the lamp sockets were some sort of early 70's diode matrix lamp circuit but not sure how the diode matrix works if all the diodes are in the same direction across ALL the lamp bulbs. The PIA chips have A,B,C registers which are addressable. When the MCU writes an address to the PIA chips A,B registers it will cause the PIA chip to output high or low on the output pins depending on the address.

On the gameplay video, I tilt it when it had maximum bonus, then had to sit there and wait and watch it all drain away, LOL

You mean like a new piece of plywood? I've never had them quite that bad but I have swapped the whole piece before off another parts machine...

@@LyonsArcade that's exactly what I meant.

I've never played that one before, but I keep seeing pictures of it, maybe we'll end up with one!

@@LyonsArcade They have (or had) one at Electric Avenue in Manchester, NH.

Rewatch it, but this time, turn down the volume in that part.

Wookie, google Gooch Grease. Now, I'm not telling anybody else to google that, and I never googled that, I just saw it on twitter last week. If anybody but my friend Wookie googles that, don't say you weren't warned!

Yes!

I agree you should use Novus to clean yours, Stephen.

It's pretty rough!

Better Late than Never !

It depends on which size you need, most are either .100 or .156, I'd order them from www.GreatPlainsElectronics.com they cater to the pinball community. Figure out what size you need and he sells the housings and the pins.

@@LyonsArcade thanks Joe. I need the 0.1 inch. I've been looking at places like DigiKey and it's just overwhelming. I will check them out

The cabinets were stenciled very roughly and quickly, but the playfields were silkscreened.

Oh sorry, I put it down below in the comments but people keep missing it. You can see it here: kzfaq.info/love/uDDNTFs-BLcNYq4DO-BYYA

@@LyonsArcade Thanks, brother - I love your channel! Keep up the great work!

No I've never used that!

Joe's Classic Video Games you can find it at the dollar tree and it’s a 1.00 you can’t beat it for the price

That's true!

Me too!

Yes there are.... but they’re about $800 and a whole lot of work to replace all the wiring and switches bolts and screws on.

Usually if it's black like that it's some kind of actual fire!

Yeah, I should stop being so excited!

@@LyonsArcade keep up the great work, love seeing how you bring these machines back from the dead !!!

Yeah it's been abused multiple times!

I use to work in an arcade about 20 years ago when I was in college. We tried to clean the games if we had time. Weekends were out as everything was always being used and I was busy replacing buttons, pulling papers out of coin mechs and filling up tickets on the prize games. That and picking up garbage and helping lost little kids. So during the weeknights I could usually get to one or two games but I only worked three weeknights and with over 100 arcade games It was a never ending cycle. Usually it just involved cleaning the outside of the cabinet and removing the glass from the monitor and cleaning around that with the occasional job of actually replacing parts. The fishing line on Sega Bass Fishing was the biggest pain. Then "testing" all the functions. I always made sure to do a lot of "testing." :) Pinball games required more work because they had a flat surface it usually meant that it was often a place where drinks were set and eventually knocked over. Removing the glass and cleaning up that mess was never fun.

Yes, it is!

@@LyonsArcade That's cool. Same time tomorrow then. That poor pinball... looks like it was thrown into a swamp.

We're gonna get it!

Thank you for the offer Allen, but we've already fixed the playfield on this one... you'll see in tomorrow's video :) We appreciate it though!

@@LyonsArcade Nice! Cant wait to see.

It may have been :)

And it'd take a lot of talent! We're going to shoot for "slightly worn but playable" LOL

@@LyonsArcade I'm retired Navy, one of my jobs was working on museum grade aircraft after 'drama' ensued damaging avionics and control panels. I'm the person who got stuck with 'holycrap! did you have an elephant sit on it then take a flame thrower to it?' with the "I want it fixed by tomorrow and I want it like new!" :/ Only some aspects of my Navy experience is applicable to new jobs.

Don't knock it till you've tried it :) It's a free world... live like you wanna live.... you gotta right! Ain't nobody gonna knock it. There's two girls over here, singing in harmony too. That's all right sista, you gotta right....

We kind of get the same price no matter what it costs to fix, people are hungry for machines and we pretty much just price them about the same, usually sell each one as soon as we're done.

Coming soon!

Yeah this one is very challenging. I've had worse but this one ranks up there with the worst...

Don't knock it till you've tried it

@@LyonsArcade must have been a two player game. fair enough.

You're saying I'm stupid for paying for it.

@@LyonsArcade nah the guy that charged you for it is stupid. You are judt a sucker for pinball machines. I can forgive the latter of the two XD

There's a whole thing going on with the ads, basically if someone skips the ad, the person who made the ad doesn't have to pay for it... so I saw one ad, it was 6 hours long. A 6 hour long ad! I don't know how they even got it to pass whatever youtube's system is, but somehow some ad buyer was playing a 6 hour long ad in people's videos, which meant that nearly 100% of the ads would always be skipped, but people would still see the ad and he wouldn't have to pay for it. It was for a song, that was looped over and over again for 6 hours. They also do ads based on what you watch or where you went, etc... so the ad they always play for ME, is for St. Jude's children's Hospital. Which are like 6 minute ads, telling the story of sick children. So I'll turn on a video and be working, and everytime an ad pops up it's a 6 minute ad about a kid with a deadly cancer, over and over again. for awhile last year, every ad was the same ad about 'men's soap' and they cussed in the ad, it was 5 or 6 minutes long too, worst ad ever.

@@LyonsArcade Ok... So people just abuse system...again. And KZfaq do nothing about it...again
