True a single cell such as in the case of 1.5 volt AA would be a cell and not a battery however most people do refer to even a single cell as a battery so I'm not picky about this stuff stuff like this has been around since the days probably batteries were common probably never going to be done in a way that is speaking proper terminology it's really a mute point in my opinion

Joe - I always tell people "think like an electron and use the schematics to figure out where it goes" That helps greatly in tracing down where a fault is. Coil's bad? Go backwards and follow the wire back to the driver. Then the predriver. Then the logic gate that drives the predriver. etc etc etc.

Loved that idea about the “self-jettison” battery pack! Reminds me of a news story I read where a guy pulled the battery out of a smoke alarm he had in his bedroom because it kept doing the “low battery” warning beep every 30 seconds. Bloke just left it without a battery and then a while later he had a fire at night, but got out in time because the increase in heat made the Sellotape he’d fixed the alarm to the ceiling with lose adhesion and the alarm literally fell on his head hard enough to wake him up! Lol! Regards

Those look like door interlock switches. They were designed for that application. The door closing pushes them on. For servicing you pull the plunger out to manually turn them on. When the door is closed everything is set back to normal automatically.

With the display issue, check the ribbon cable the connects to the back of the display board and the board closely for corrosion. I found it in my other White Star games "Terminator 3, Harley Davidson 2nd Edition, and Twister. Harley had traces on the display board that were corroded underneath where the ribbon cable connects through and had to be repaired. Just a suggestion before you spend the money on a new display. I use Clive at The Coin Op Cauldron in Easley, South Carolina for all my board repairs. I will be starting on a Monopoly soon with similar issues. The display is jarbled and won't let me access any of the menus . I enjoy all your videos, Thank you for taking the time make them.

There were some good Sega/Stern Whitestar games, personally I think Monopoly was pretty lame but given the other properties Stern was theming at the time it’s not that bad.

@stphinkle 10 ай бұрын

That pinball is in very good condition. It needs a new DMD display, a little cleanup, and a new plunger. You may also want to test for any burned out lamps and that all the switches are working. But it seems like it is working. Actually the battery holder falling out may have extended the board life. When you reconnect the batteries, you might want to solder an external wire connector to the board and mount the battery holder externally and this will prevent the battery damage to the board for good I am not sure if you are going to go for an original gas plasma DMD or if you are going to go for the newer LED type. Some people are replacing their old DMDs with LED or LCD models that allow for a color display instead of the original orange only display.

@scottgm321 10 ай бұрын

This is a fun game to play. One of the local arcades has it. Sadly the plastics on the train ramp are broken so when you hit the ball up the ramp, it launches across the table. The cop drop target stakes a beating for sure. Really fun game though.

@TechGorilla1987 10 ай бұрын

@26:55 - It looks like that top switch is like a furnace switch. It can be pulled out to click it in place for testing as well as pushing in like a safety.

I have a Monopoly, the pl lights is f22, check it first, mine blows occasionally, 8 amp iirc, I put in an auto reset 5 amp breaker. I found that putting the rubber all the way down, close to the pf solved the ball binding the wiper.

@CNKayutube 10 ай бұрын

In case you forgot, those two safety switches that open when coin door is open, well the solenoid switch should have finger indents to pull the switch plunger out, thus giving back solenoid power as a service mode while door is open.

And for those with keyless coin doors , they make a great bathroom break option, shoot ball into a scoop or vuk and open coin door.

Is there a National Database for stolen arcade machines / pinball machines ? There is a National Database of stolen 2-way radios, especially Motorola, so if you are going to buy one you can check to make sure it is not reported stolen. It would make sense to have an arcade database for stolen machines.

For those wondering on prices, back in the late 90s, early 2000s .... stuff I bought : FH for $300 (and a NOS pf blank for $180), TZ for $1500, SafeCracker for $800, PinBot for $150, etc etc. Heck, even got a Medieval for $2k (and thought I'd horribly overpaid). Best deal I ever got was -$25 for a Marble Madness (it came with enough extra parts inside I ended up in the green on it) Those were wild times. Prices today are absolutely insane by comparison.

It looks like the display part of the machine folds down for moving. I'm guessing that someone folded it over with force dislodging the battery and ballast for the flourescent bulb. What I can't believe is that someone thought it was a good idea to put that bulb so close to the circuit board.

Hey Ron, thanks for the new video series. I'm curious if your former employer or any other operators got rich from coinop. With employees to pay, overhead for storage, parts and repairs, plus taxes and splitting half the revenue with the location, it seems like it would take a LOT of quarters to get wealthy. I can appreciate if it was worth it just to be self-employed and do what you love though.

I hate Stern games. Maybe you can fix it if you own it? Every stern I have played the bank angle is so high that half the time the ball shoots down the center of the flippers at light speed just after shooting it. And if you manage to smack it once you get maybe two vollies and it finds a way out. I get like 30 seconds of playtime. But when I play older games then all seems to take its time and is very manageable.
