I play monster drop a lot and on 2 of the machines where I play it I won the monster jackpot but the ball ended up getting stuck on the monster hole and I had to get someone to push it through! What do you think could have been the cause as to why it would get stuck and not fall all the way through?
Well the balls should be replaced every 6 months, the balls will start to ware down and become out of round and that could possible be the issue. But it’s just a guess.
I hope you didn't throw away the button usually just the piece is broken on the micro switch so it's a waste if you did Also I recommend you change the bulb out with an LED one so the heat doesn't cause the plastic to get brittle and break again
Going back to this. The "your" sensors look bootleg/unofficial. They don't have any official mention like "omc" or "sega gun sense" on them. This explains the cheap build quality on them. I myself am now curious if the sega built sensors work with this game.
It was the solenoid that was bad, I don’t think I can 3D print that. I think they told me they don’t sell just the solenoid. So you’re kinda forced to purchase the entire assembly.
You found the issue. Could be the drive going bad or over time it might have come lose (from the weight hanging). If it does not find any disk it cannot load it's operation system. The game is running a Linux image (probably Ubuntu core or a custom image) and was checking the drive for errors. it's a very small harddrive and probably not as expensive to replace yourself.Btw a SATA extension cord is around 7 dollars you can find it about everywhere where they sell computer parts .
Technically I could but the game is EOL and no longer going to be serviceable. The cap kits for this monitor won’t last and I would spend more time repairing the monitor. If it was a home game situation I would try to fix it.
I guess that because the bearings are at a fixed angle relative to the rotating disk it will never be a perfect movement-match, with always a slight angular slip between them. I wonder if a squirt of a dry lubricant like WD-40 teflon based dry-lube on those bearings from underneath would extend the life of the disk.
They replaced the back lighting of a flat panel TV with their own, put a diffuser in front of it (back plastic)... then a plinko board (that is defusing with white like a normal flat panel TV)... then the rest of the flatpanel tv including the color matrix. and to top if off a layer with some fake fishbowls.... Cool technique! just like a normal flatpanel TV... it also has the back lighting in white etc... i always wondered if they made holes in the matrix for the balls to fall trough... but no... OFC it's much simpler then that 🙂... mind you never have seen these in person, so video's make it seem more real.... you can see it though.
@4:14.. Once an RFID tag of the ticket roll is scanned in the bin below. I has to stop the pusher... Because it needs to scan all RFID tag and dispose the ticket rolls again. If it did not stop the pusher from pushing in more tickets, it could miss any new rolls that might fall in after it's done scanning the RFID tags and after this it also needs to dispose them as well before any new rolls can fall in. So stopping the pusher up top would prevent any new tickets falling in for a moment. It also keeps pushing the ticket rolls out if any are left behind it probably scans for RFID tags again (maybe the rolls are stacked for example, so it needs an extra push). Also you can always scoop for more ticket rolls (if you have credits) even when it's scanning or disposing tickets. This is probably not to slow up the process to much. It would not be much fun to wait for a new scoop once it's counting tickets.... Btw. The extra flash of numbers is the total amount it still has to payout to the card reader. It's fun to see that there is a 8 segment number under the yellow..... why did they not make the yellow line thinner... since the 8 segment is working and is programmed :) over 9000 tickets counted up... wow what a run! 🤣 Though i'm wondering now.... Since you can open the machine.... the RFID tags... Do they share the same ID or a random one?.... maybe the string it get's you (when you scan a roll with your phone) starts with the value of the ticket roll and then a unique number... since it can scan more then 1 of the same value roll....(or maybe you already know).
It looks like one or more of the bearings got stuck at one point in time. It might spin freely now, but better to replace them when you get your new table piece.
Im not a hater but this game is always suffering from technical difficulties like the balls stop dropping after a while or the wheel spins clockwise when its supposed to spin anit-clockwise
This game hasn’t been to bad, besides a damaged ball getting the rest of the balls stuck or ball release solenoid going bad and i have had the turn table go bad a couple times. But we have had this game 6 maybe 7 years. If the red ping pong balls are starting to break or get damaged to much, it might be time to replace them as for the turn table going the opposite way, that is new to me. I have never had that issue.
@@arcadezombie1975 does the extreme monster drop have lots of problems? Seems like every time I play it it will have some sort of problem with it! I rarely run into one that works correctly the entire time I play it!
@@ericshook9270 main problem i have is the balls will go out of round or ware down, they should be replaced every six months. The side plastics break due to the balls slamming on them, not all the time but keep spare plastic handy. I haven’t had major problem with the game, but i id have one of the turn table start to get worn down by the rollers under it. I will be post that vid soon.
@@arcadezombie1975 a lot of the time when I play the game it will have problems scoring a ball. Like if it goes in the 125 it will give me the 10 beside the 125. I play lots of extreme monster drops and they tend to always have problems giving me the correct value and it gets frustrating because monster drop extreme is my favorite game to play!
@ericshook9270 it’s been a while put I think that sounds like a turntable issue. I think I remember if the table is not going the correct speed the ticket amount will be off. Could be a table motor issue or one of the bottom bearing is stuck and might be slowing the table down. I would call Benchmark, tech support is your friend.
I kind of want to simulate this game on a normal dell optiplex 740 but i dont know the gpu and maybe upload both softwares except you can use guitars from consoles via any bluetooth adapter and make a virtual button to add fake credits
@@arcadezombie1975 as long as i dont feel like I'm gonna break the wheel in any way, it works for me! I imagine itd feel much safer than standing on those small yellow plastics
Oh yeah don’t t stand of those. They are just held on by a couple screws. Turn table is solid just don’t imitate Dead or Alive and you should be good to go.
Leatherman Wave Plus. I have had it for little more than 11 years. And yes I have replaced it many times over the years. I also do have a gerber blunt nose but I graduated from the gerber plan decades ago.
well that's new. i did not know these ran on Windows 7 (could be POSReady but most older games use 7 Professional or 7 Ultimate especially ICE or Adrenaline)
