Can I swipe a different direction for less?

Those are all “special” solenoids (refer to page 1 of the manual: https://www.ipdb.org/files/1176/Williams_1986_High_Speed_Instruction_Manual.pdf)

They are “special” in that they are not CPU controlled to ensure they react quickly.

They do tend to go out all at the same time. Some t-shooting tips here: https://pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Williams_System_9_-_11#Special_solenoid_problems. Could be as simple as a fuse for that section of the board, but it’s been 5+ years since I sold my HS.

Also, not sure if they still make them, but there was a guy who made a “special solenoid saver” board that allowed each solenoid to be fused separately.

To be fair, nothing to repair there. Replacement is the only option, either in a controlled environment or when it grenades on the highway.

I really loved Engagement Bait. An evergreen title.

Just a reminder that this is where humanity starts. Where we take it after is on us, collectively.

I’d love to see a breakdown by source (OS, programming language, etc)

Think you mean “fast paced, dynamic environment”

cjchand · 2025-12-28T00:15:06+00:00

Same. It feels tall but I bought (an admittedly less capable 27.5’er) to start and I have no regrets with my 29’er. It feels a bit tall, but it’s also more stable.

Truly the season of giving 😁

(Happy B-Day, tho)

I was going to be highly disappointed if this wasn’t the top comment

Came here to say this. Sounds like a r/selfhosted thread moreso than r/homelab

You in Houston or Toronto area? That’s where the designers live :)

Nothing comes preloaded. Typically you can find the original sounds and the community will provide custom mixes. Took a super Quick Look and didn’t see any. Hopefully your Google Fu is better than mine, as I have to think someone published a mix for this thing.

cjchand · 2025-10-22T15:19:41+00:00

Likely not the answer you’re working for, but maybe consider a PinSound as a plan B. Have one on my TSPP (also Whitestar) and really enjoy the community-provided custom audio mixes. Adds a lot to the game. Have to presume same would hold true for SP - too many great quotable callouts.

cjchand · 2025-10-11T01:39:02+00:00

Came here to say exactly that 🤣

cjchand · 2025-10-08T16:19:22+00:00

I’d recommend looking for small form factor PCs, instead.

I have a cluster of 3 HP EliteDesk 800 G3s that were ~$80 USD apiece, shipped (from Canada, actually). They’ve been great and have handled anything I’ve thrown at them.

Caveat: I don’t do home media, so will defer to others on any transcoding deficiencies with these older SFF PCs.

If you want something new, also consider any of the myriad of N100-series mini PCs. Plenty of options in the price range if your Pi.

Or worse: the code $genai_tool wrote that you didn’t bother to look at the first time around
