Still the best repair resource on the net. Learn more about schematics everytime. Thanks Ron. Great video

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Thanks for watching, We appreciate it

@Cool_Retro Год назад

Awesome game. I love EM machines from this era. Thanks again!

@Maxxarcade Год назад

I always enjoy your in-depth looks at everything from the artwork to the mechanisms and schematics while fixing games. I'm the type of person that likes to understand how and why everything works the way it does, and not many people understand that passion these days.

@jockbeems4798 Год назад

Oh my God! When this video started; In my memory, I was 13, walking into Joe's Pizzaria in my hometown around 1978. Fantastic memories of playing a few 10 cent games waiting for them to make our order to take home. It was on the way home from school too.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

You can’t go back but you can keep the memories! Good times

@redace01 Год назад

Yay! More EM Pinball action! **Watches intently***

@gorillaau Год назад

No magic smoke here, unlike all solid state machines which run on magic smoke.

@Bob-sd7qr Год назад

Ronnie, thanks for the video. I was going through withdrawal after the Donkey Kong video. I used to have an El Dorado wedgehead that shared the same playfield, and I believe Gottlieb made about 6 titles with the exact layout! See you next time!

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Canada Dry, El Dorado, Gold Strike, some other Strike, Target Alpha and another one I think

@Bob-sd7qr Год назад

@@LyonsArcade Yeah, they got their money out of that design for sure. I think the wire nuts on the transformer was just a "I don't feel like soldering today" thing!

What a great looking machine, I love the layout

Good to see you Jelly!

@AllanSitte Год назад

I love it. Much to do, but simple layout overall. Thank you for sharing this with us. Very good looking machine.

I love drop target machines

@LyonsArcade Год назад

One of the best pinball inventions ever. Drop targets, spinners, thumper bumpers, and flippers :)

@markjackson1444 Год назад

This seems a fairly nice example of this classic. …Just this week I got a Far Out which is about from the same period, so all this is very relevant. (For a customer so I need to pay attention).Love all the em pinball videos.

@irieman442 Год назад

Yet another game I have never seen. That machine is in really nice shape. It would be interesting to see how many plays were on it. It must have been in a really nice arcade to be this clean. I guess it could have been in a terrible arcade that nobody went to.. LOL

@MrButtonpresser Год назад

What a cool pinnie. I've never seen that one before. 1976 was my peak 'delinquent' period too.

@Petri547 Год назад

What a cool game. This was first Gottlieb pinball convertible between Add-A-Ball and replay settings. Premier Technology released later SS-game Eldorado City of Gold with similar layout.

@westcoastronnieOC714 Год назад

This game is cool! I always loved gottlieb games and most of their games had a lot of dropped targets. Big fan of gottlieb EM'S one of my favorite gottlieb games back in the day was Jack in the box. That game also had a lot of drop Targets

@LyonsArcade Год назад

We had one of those many years ago great game!

@Hyper10110 Год назад

Thanks so much for making a video of this game, I bought one many years ago in spectacular condition but not working. I put it straight in storage until I have time to work on it. You might have given me the kick i need.

@RODALCO2007 Год назад

Awesome game, I have played it many times in the early 1980's.

@davidg-m1768 Год назад

I have had a Solar City (2 player version) for about 6 years, it still gets played every week as it’s a great game. It was fun to get it going but it didn’t have as many issues as this Target Alpha. Some weird stuff out of whack there - almost like someone is testing you! Why would they, we know you’re up for the challenge.

@gorillaau Год назад

A single fault would make for less videos. More faults equals more videos.

@waynegram8907 Год назад

JOE, If they used a Solenoid to turn ON the credit unit/Replay Unit and the Knocker Coil they would need to use the score motor to turn OFF the solenoid? maybe this is why they used the big capacitor so they didn't have to use the score motor to turn OFF the solenoid.

@Glassia9 Год назад

They used this layout on El Dorado.

@imjabroni1 Год назад

It could be that they cut the wire on the transformer and added a new one on the other tab, which puts out "just a little more" voltage, so the solenoids kick a little better in low voltage locations. The wire nut allows them to easily move it back if desired.

@MRNBricks Год назад

I’ve always had my eye on a Canada Dry. But it’s like Bobby Orr. Hard to find in Houston!

@gorillaau Год назад

If its lazer armed, then call it a zapper. If you feel it's firing the contents of a cartridge, then call it a shooter.

@scottbrady7499 Год назад

might there be some operational issues with it, where Joe leaves one of those "lists," that indicates that:. "it's broke?"

@mfranzusan3014 Год назад

Slowly getting into the EM games you guys repair. I just picture my self working on one and completely intimidated by all the switch/relay contacts that potentially need cleaning and/or adjusting during the process of "tuning up" or repairing a pinball machine. I know not everything needs to be touched, and even though the schematics help in the troubleshooting process, it's hours of being bent over a coffin with an emery board or abrasive tool to clean switch stacks one by one, hurting my back and straining my eyes and fingers to work from one end to the other... argh! But hey, you guys do great work. Keep the videos coming!

Just a heads up, I have not changed the settings on your channel and I am still subscribed and have it set for all alerts and I have not received a single alert for a new video in weeks RU-vid is Shadow banning you for some reason See if other people are having the same thing happened that I am I wondered why you weren't making new videos

@LyonsArcade Год назад

RU-vid likes to play their games... it's almost impossible to figure out what keeps them happy.
