This is another game I did in the workshop
during the winter. It came in for cleaning of the playfield and new rubbers and
a non-working upper right flipper. The non-working flipper was suspected to be
due to a loose cable but instead it turned out to be the EOS switch, bad
connection and therefore no current through the high-power winding of the
flipper coil. The EOS switch is the right one in the picture below. The left
switch turns of the light under the lower flipper once the flippers are
actuated. It turned out to be a bit tricky to find a replacement for the switch
but at the end I found one at a dealer in Holland. And since the right one was bad I also bought
and replaced the left one.
Next thing of the todo list was the drop
target unit. It had a target that didn’t reset properly. This table had been
glued together at some point in time and the return spring had eaten its way
through the glue used to repair the loop where the spring was hooked to the
target, so a new target was needed. Another of the targets had a quite badly
worn printing so also this one was replaced with a new one. Working with this
unit while it is still in the playfield is almost impossible but luckily it’s
easy to unplug it and take it out.
The speaker had been replaced in the game
and connected by screw terminals. I just couldn’t leave it like this and made a
proper connection of the cables.
I had some problem with a playfield lamp that
most of the time didn’t work and this was caused by an unsoldered ground wire.
This problem has been in the game since it was produced, interesting that no
one had found and fixed the problem earlier.
The rest of the cleaning and re rubbering was made in a hurry during a couple of evenings due to the owner had a trip booked past my part of the country and had the possibility to pick-up the game. And of some reason I didn’t take any photos of the finished game. But the playfield was cleaned and reassembled, the coin door was disassembled and polished and the shooter polished and the shooters barrel spring replaced.
