The machine fails to acknowledge when all three Pinbot drop-targets have been knocked down. Need to investigate.

Pinbot Targets Problem
Sunday, November 26th, 2006Parts
Wednesday, October 25th, 2006Ordered a bunch of stuff from Bay Area Amusements:
- WMS part #20-9247 magnet coil. Used on Shadow, Twilight Zone, and Theatre of Magic so it doesn’t hurt to have a spare. FIXME – is it also used on CV?
- Replacement troll brackets for Medieval Madness
- Cirqus Voltaire “WOW” decal replacement
- PinLED replacement display for Taxi
- 2 more PinLED replacement power driver boards (Replaces WMS part #A-12697). One of these is gonna be for T2 eventually.
- This Old Pinball DVD’s number 3 and 4. Should be interesting.
More Machines Up And Running
Monday, October 2nd, 2006Yay! My bro came over last Friday and helped me set up a bunch more machines in my basement. Now up on their feet in various states of running:
- Banzai Run
- Theatre of Magic
- Taxi
- Tales of the Arabian Nights
- Medieval Madness
- Star Trek: TNG
- Diner
- Indiana Jones
- Shadow
I wheeled Shadow over to the newly-designated shop area for some upcoming shopping. Also note that Banzai Run is totally non-functional.
Here’s a highly distorted 180 degree panorama put together with Canon’s photo-stitch software:
New House
Monday, December 27th, 2004I moved to a new house. The new house happens to have a basement with room for lots of pinball machines. Here you can see the mover-guys taking Diner off the truck, making it appear as if it’s no big deal.
Now I just have to set them up.
Finished!

One Last Thing
Sunday, October 19th, 2003A little play-testing found that the ball gets wedged under the left slingshot.
Adjusted the rubber so there wasn’t any slack at the bottom and now it’s fine.
Ruh-Roh

I had to hunt around for a bit, but I found it. Can you spot the ground short?
Well, in case you can’t:
Nothing says “Check out that pinched wire!” like a blurry photo:
Reassembly Complete
Saturday, October 18th, 2003Woo-hoo! Looks nice.
Coming Along Nicely
Thursday, October 2nd, 2003All new rubber, shiny new blue posts and lane guides, and NOS ramps and “Spin Out” assembly (from ebay). The ramps were a pain to get into place.
Playfield Surface Reassembly Begun
Tuesday, September 30th, 2003I’ve started putting everything back together on top of the playfield. This involves going through all my little ziplock baggies in reverse order and using all the photos I took to help me remember where everything should go.
