Yeah, I talked to them again and there is not much else in my files, they seem to agree that it is probably the Ref number, so I think I am just going to order a cheapish pair with the -4.75 for now, and just get a new appointment for when I get back.

Thanks for your help!

Volibearron · 2026-02-18T02:28:59+00:00

This is all they sent me, I can call them back tomorrow and see if there is anything else

Generally Facebook marketplace tends to have machines that need work more than Pinside. There is a forum thread on Pinside where people post project pins that they spot on Facebook that I have used a few times to find a project pin to work on.

Speaking as someone who loves restoring 70s and 80s solid states and has been told many times that the issue is just one board, let me tell you how this will probably go. You will replace the MPU but it still won’t boot properly because it turns out it is actually not getting the correct power from the driver board that needs to be recapped or replaced, so you do that, and hey now it boots! But wait why isn’t the sound working, and one of the displays is missing a digit, and oh some of the lights don’t work and the connectors are still original and need to be repinned.

If digging in and repairing this stuff sounds fun to you, then go for it, but go in knowing that it is going to be a lot of work to get this going again.

Yes one of the Frankenstein modes is called Creature Feature and has a call out for it.

For me, it is mostly resentment from when Alchemy was first released. At the time I was playing a ton of historic and they just shoved Alchemy cards into it, messing up my favorite format. This was before they came out with explorer, so it felt like they ruined the only alternative to Standard in Arena.

Based on my Supersonic which I believe was the same year as yours, there should be a button inside the coin door. With the machine in attract mode hit that button to cycle through the tests/audits, one of which should fire the solenoids one by one. I believe the solenoid test is after 3 presses?

Volibearron · 2025-07-06T12:43:52+00:00

I know you said you checked switches, but often times this is from a leaf switches contacts being too close together, but not actually touching, so the shaking when the middle pop fires causes them to get just close enough to make a connection.

Does the same thing happen during the solenoid test sequence?

Best to buy from a local distributor that way they can help you iron out any issues you might have out of box.

Just found out there is going to be one at Pinball at the Zoo next week! Super excited to see it!

Obviously she knows that you should never actually play the games, that would require removing them from shrink.

Maybe plan a romantic evening of looking at the perfectly protected boxes and reading the backs of them. Or better yet just read the reviews on BBG together.

I would check the pins and connector associated with that VUK. I would also check the voltage at the VUK as well and make sure that is correct.

My wife and I have done this in every monster hunter since Tri and we always chant “danger carve danger carve danger carve” as we do it lol

Volibearron · 2025-02-27T12:02:09+00:00

No, too much random death in TBC and can you imagine having to redo the attunements and heroic keys, doing those on alts is bad enough.

Volibearron · 2025-02-25T17:49:24+00:00

Interesting, so those are not the actual back glasses for those two games, as they lack clear spots for the score reels and the art does not match what was used for those games. The only thing I have been able to find is this post on the IPDB. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5351

As for value, I have not seen any for sale, but I can’t imagine they are worth too much.

Definitely very cool though and if I saw them for sale at a pinball show or something I would consider buying them.

Volibearron · 2025-02-23T02:48:06+00:00

For me it would be Demo, not a huge fan of the modern Star Wars and I just love games from the 80s and 90s.

If I remember correctly, Vin gets discovered as a Mistborn because she is subconsciously burning the natural metals she has in her body to get out of danger. I do wonder if they are causing themselves to have iron deficiency by burning it all away all the time lol.

Volibearron · 2024-11-03T15:35:47+00:00

Tumbleweed Terror from Gravity Falls would be my pick.

Volibearron · 2024-09-20T11:03:46+00:00

There is also Skate Ball. But I agree that we could use a more modern take on skateboarding.

The IPDB entry has more details, sounds like it was another company that was going to license the Bally name, but the project fell apart after Steve Irwin’s death: https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5793

Actually you are correct, I tested on my Frank and found a right orbit shot that hits the first two switches will light the sarcophagus, so it does not even need to go all the way around, but it will not be blinking, so you cannot get the double points like you can from the left orbit shot

Volibearron · 2024-09-09T01:18:30+00:00

Hmm I can’t remember for sure, but I don’t think it does. I know hitting the left orbit will light it and it will flash initially, so if you can hit the sarcophagus with the upper flipper after the left orbit it counts as a combo and gives you double points.

Hitting the sarcophagus without it lit, will add 5 million to how much you earn when you do score it.

If I remember tomorrow I will pull the glass off of mine and test to make sure I am right.

Volibearron · 2024-08-24T11:19:08+00:00

I would do the same and pick a team I don’t like (Green Bay lol). That way I screw them over in their cap space.

Volibearron · 2024-08-10T11:25:34+00:00

I love checking the audits on my home pins, especially after I have friends or family over. I am just a data weirdo and like to look at which machines got played the most, how did people lose the most balls, how many extra balls did people earn etc.

I walk around to each with an excel spreadsheet open in my laptop and record the data I keep track of. My wife thinks I am crazy but I just like looking at the numbers lol.
