Your ENDING FRAME captured the undying, pure youthful JOY pinball still no matter HOW old we are! It made me grin EAR ta EAR, buddy!! GREAT PIN, GREAT WORK!! 👍🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hey, thanks! That was actually completely spontaneous. I put the camera up at the ceiling so you could see the whole machine, and when I turned around and looked at it, it made me think of Flash jumping at the camera in the final scene of the movie!

That’s pretty slick. I like the apron and other photo mods you’ve done. Have you tried putting Mylar over the spinner and drops to protect the artwork? If you decide to put your designs up, I’d love a copy. I can get you my Pinside ID or my email is in my about me on RU-vid here. Thank you.

Hey guys, this is great. I get it now, rather I see it now as a podcast of sorts. My cell pinged with a notification that I truly thought I was interrupting someone else`s feed. Not one to perve, I X`d it. Ha Ha , now you get to see wot I was thinking. > Injust< There`s a future for you in the fire escape trade. My analogy is for young folk in difficult times, should always be seeking. To be research-driven & decision-making and looking for innovative solutions in the fun stuff, . . that should occupy young people`s minds. Intrigued I am so, . . especially about LED's on that strip of ?? Personally, I would like a pinball machine with a solar panel on the back as I currently face east southeast, and could play in the PM rather that chat on FB ;)

Glad that you have now seen the (LED) light 😀

Also, did you put a new speaker in with that sound card or is it stock?

@davesthinktank 3 месяца назад

The sound in this video is from the original speaker. I wasn't happy with the sound, and so in a later video I replaced it with a huge speaker on top from an old surround sound system! It had great sound, but I eventually figured out the bad sound was actually on the sound file I was using, which was a clip from the movie, including electric buzzing and whizzing noises from a space battle. So currently, I am back to using the original speaker.

Put the original spinner decals and apron back.

What a surprising suggestion!

Dave...What was the part number for the Bridge Rectifier you used on your power supply? I have the same issue on a 1981 Bally Embryon I am working on for a friend. It uses the same power supply shown in this video.

@davesthinktank 11 месяцев назад

The original bridge rectifiers used in these games were only 8A, and (I think) 200 V, and were seriously under-powered. I replaced the one in my machine with a 35A, 400V bridge rectifier, which is heavy-duty enough to handle anything that might come through the power supply. The part number is GBPC3504W, manufactured by GeneSIC. I bought it from Mouser Electronics, for about $7. The heat sink was around $3, part number 532-6222B. The specs say the part has a heat sink built in, but I added one anyway.
