Repairing Stern's Super Cool Memory Drop Targets From 1980's Flight 2000 Pinball Machine 

Kind of fits the theme a little bit!

Thank you Brendan, I hope you had a good Christmas!

Thank you Randy that’s nice of you to say!

Thank you Doug!

I figured I couldn’t make it too much worse 😀

Thank you Doug, we appreciate you watching!

Thanks Rory, we appreciate you watching our videos man!

I was watching to see if the lights moved with the flippers like advancing them in other games to increase the field multipliers, but they never moved.

I really like it, thank you Jim!

I learned long ago that even if I get it how I think it's perfect, people always cut it down so it's not worth even attempting it, just get it where you're happy with it and move on :) Thanks for watching AvengerII

Thank you for watching Walter, we're going to do 1 more video tomorrow and we'll talk about Mr. Williams a little bit...

@@LyonsArcade U would not even believe what I paid for the Flight 2000 . I had to literally pinch myself 3 times. Remember this was back in 92 .

Thanks Larry!

Thank you for watching stshort500!

Thank you for watching Richard!

Thank you David, we appreciate you watching!

I don’t like playing them like that

Yup depending on the art it looks ok. When the art is the female form it doesn’t look ok lol

Thank you ULEK, glad you found them useful! Have fun with that machine!

Thank you for watching Devil Average!

Thank you SiaVids, we appreciate you watching!

Thank you Kelly!

Thank you for watching Joe!

Thank you Mark!

it's tough man, I didn't get multiball on it when I played through it, i'm not good enough to make the shot consistently enough. I've heard of the kit but I've never seen one, that would be cool to have!

Most of my patience is tested by jerks on RU-vid lol the actual games don’t bother me much… thank you for watching!

@@LyonsArcade Don't feed the trolls... Appreciate the efforts, Thanks.

Thank you Jason, we appreciate you watching us out there! We'll try to keep 'em coming :)

Thank you Mark that’s nice of you to say

@@LyonsArcade Color matching can be very frustrating... lol

Thank you Frank, we appreciate you watching man!

We finally got there!

I think in general the newer memory targets they do are usually not in a bank so yes they probably have individual resets...

It's not that I can't make it translucent, it's that you can't make the new paint look like the old paint. No matter what you do it doesn't match

@@LyonsArcade true it is very hard to make it match perfectly but at least you try to make it fairly close. You do a pretty damn good job of doing the touch ups that need done.

That may work!

@@LyonsArcade P.S. Merry Christmas.

Anything else bad about it you want to bring up? Ever wondered why you do that?

@@LyonsArcade Huh? I wasn't saying anything bad about it. I think you misread my intent. I thought about your reaction I and I think you might have thought I was commenting on your skill which I wasn't. I know that is a major peeve you have. I am no pinball wizard either and this table is definitely challenging thus I felt the table should have 5 balls set by default given how hard the table goals are to get. Some tables just drain way too easily. I love your videos BTW...please keep making them!

Put her in test mode and go to the switch test, see if any of the switches stick on, then test them one by one, you're looking for a switch that makes the wrong switch number come on the backbox. So if you hit switch 19, and instead of 19 it always says 24 or whatever... there's your clue. The way these work is with a switch matrix, the thing is, if you have a bad diode on any of the switches, when that switch closes, it will make several other switches close. It's kind of tricky though because on the test it will only show the highest switch number that's closed if more than one are, like with a shorted row or column. Also, if by automatically you mean it does it as soon as the game starts, and keeps doing it, you may have a completely shorted row or column... looking at the schematic I don't see anything obvious that if it shorted, you might only see one switch come on (like the inlanes or outlanes)... if I had one doing this I'd put it in test and leave it in the switch test for awhile and see if a switch pops up if you slap the playfield or something. Sometimes the physical movement of the flippers will make inlane switches bounce closed too just from the vibration if they're too close....

Anything else wrong you noticed that you want to bring up? No matter what I do people like you just make comments complaining something's not right, it makes it a real pain the ass to make the videos. I spend like 20 hours fixing it, then I put up a video showing how cool the machine is, and bill says "Hey, the flippers broke." Imagine how disheartening that is. It's like you introduce me to your wonderful wife and my only comment is "She's fat." I guess the flipper is messed up Bill. I'ts a real slur on you that the only thing you want to mention is the flipper that's broken. I'll try really hard to make it perfect for you next time.

We got it man, nothing to it but to do it :)

I’ve tried everything it’s the springs

@@LyonsArcade If the target ledge or the metal lever on the drop target drop relays are slighty bent the targets will slip off and fall..Rebuilt MANY of these BITD!

It's a design flaw. They had to use a horizontal lamp due to lack of space. An acrylic light pipe would certainly help.

Thank you Randy anything else you notice wrong that you want to point out?

I need to rewatch that 😀

Yup the earliest days of electronic sound…

@@LyonsArcade it still sounds kick ass all these years later.. remember wizard of war? Dot dot dot. Lol

They're actually a silver, it makes the ambient light from the bulbs behind the glass reflect around better and light up the whole thing instead of just the spots directly in front of the bulbs. It's like a reflector.

hahaha

Just think Jock how much better you could’ve done it

And bad mufflers lol

@@LyonsArcade but...a dixie horn?????

You first

@@LyonsArcade I've done it. I would use a piece of clear plastic (from some packaging or something) and get the opacity right then mask off the crack and build up to that while checking with a light the whole time. It's a pain in the ass and I've only done it once. Come to find that people prefer you just leave it alone. Caulk it up to a "patina" lol

A few more

I believe it’s not really that important you however think it’s important enough to make a post about.

Adjusting flippers to rest on pins makes it easier for players to make the shots.most operators of this pin back then would not adjust flippers to this style .lol less games awarded even when u set replays quite high.

Have you ever wondered why women don’t really like you? It’s shit like this

Bah! Humbug! 😆

Yodelat hee hoo

Garry do you have anything positive to add, or do you just want to complain? Everything has to be perfect in Garry's world or all he does is comment on the one thing that's not perfect. Then you can't even do it outright, you have to make a passive aggressive comment about it. You're not quite as clever as you think you are.

@@LyonsArcade u stated game played slow so respond with a solution 👍Don't worry u did an excellent job restoring it

Interesting, I’ll have to try that… I previously noticed Williams changed the keep alive voltage after the first system 3 games so I figured it wasn’t a critical voltage to begin with….
