Leveled machine.

Replaced flipper rubber. Sweet.

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:

Indiana Jones Arrives

Thursday, June 29th, 2000

Indiana Jones is here! Yay! Set it up in my office.

Replaced the “A” light from “ADVENTURE” and the “Shoot Again” light fell out during shipping. Has some problems:

  • Right flipper is totally screwed up. Button is flaky and flipper is weak.
  • Ball gets stuck at end of rope bridge.
  • Wrong size rubber on right outlane posts?
  • Cracked “Raise Jackpot” plastic
  • Lamp 17 (left ramp arrow)
  • Lamp 35 (rope bridge)
  • Lamp 47 (Shorty)
  • Lamp 63 (center lock) is dim
  • Solenoid 14 (left control gate) doesn’t seem happy?
  • Solenoid 34 (diverter hold) doesn’t seem happy?

Replaced lamps 17, 47. Tweaked lamp 17 socket.

Resoldered connectors on “Top Post” switch, fixed rope bridge problem.
