Progress on Data East Baywatch Pinball
This game came in for repairs, shop job and LED’s. One Pop Bumper was not working: turned out to be a 2 transistors and the 7402 chip that drove them. The power board had a tip36C transistor failure. There was a broken flipper, a cracked flipper and two burnt coils. Still needs the Wire Actuator 535-7322-00 (not available) to be custom made. One string of GI is out. Still dirty, but on its way back to greatness:
Major Progress on Twilight Zone
Got the Backbox and Feature lights converted to LED. Replaced the Clock PCB with a Rottendog CLK01. Replaced a bunch of 906 Flashers. Replaced the S1865 Flipper Opto with a PVE11233 to get the right flipper going. Still needs cleaning, rubber and a few more LEDs. Reporting left flipper EOS switch to check and also needs remote battery holder. I also notice a broken slot machine scoop ($89+shipping), but I don’t think that needs fixing. Sure coming together nicely:
