Wrong Flipper Coils

Thursday, July 6th, 2000

Indy has the wrong flipper coils. Manual says FL-11629. When I rebuilt the flippers I put in FL-11630 ‘cause I didn’t have the manual yet.

Jet bumper is still broken.

Looks like one of the pop-bumpers is not working properly.

Creature From The Black Lagoon

Thursday, July 6th, 2000

Creature From the Black Lagoon (CFTBL) is here.

Replaced a bunch of parts on the Ball Shooter Assembly (B-12445-4):

  • Tip (WMS #23-6327)
  • Rod (WMS #20-9253-7)
  • Rod Spring (WMS #10-149)
  • Shooter Sleeve (WMS #03-7357)

Need washers and shooter spring (WMS #10-148-4, GREEN).

Bent down some of the ramp plastic displays that were scraping the glass.

Replaced flipper rubber.

Jet Bumper Bracket

Monday, July 3rd, 2000

I was playing Indy and heard this BANG! and a jet bumper stopped working. Opened up the playfield to take a look and the solenoid bracket was broken! DOH!

From my notebook, it’s the solenoid wiring of the jet bumper that broke:

Left Popper

Monday, July 3rd, 2000

Replaced solenoid on left popper. Popper wouldn’t always pop. It would try, but ball wouldn’t make it out. New solenoid works, we’ll see if problem goes away.

Gotta fix ‘Narrow Escape’ switch.
