*Wisconsin Pinball

All righty then....feeling very happy and kind of dumb at the same time. I have resolved my stuck drop target coil issue. Turns out the problem was the 2N3055 power transistor after all. I had already replaced it and the feeder U45 transistor. Both read fine on the dmm in-circuit, but since there wa...

Dolly and I had us a time today...

I'm on my 2nd coil, so one had to be good at one point or another. This thing gets hot! Troubleshooting sooner or later bubbles the sleeve. Good call though, I think I just need to go thru the relevant wiring harness and look for a pinch. Thanks Tully!

Hey Todd,

I'll give you a call. I think Dolly needs to come across town.

Thanks John. Are you talking about the +5V between R57 and the ground at R58? The circuit in question is Sol.5.

Hey guys, Looking for some advice on my next step. Restoring a Black Hole. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm having issues with the coil that resets the lower playfield 4-drop target group always being on. Here are the steps I've done so far: -Gottlieb ground wire mods -Rebuilt the power supply...

Well, to answer my own question, I went ahead and ordered a component rebuild kit for this board. Figured it can't hurt to shotgun it and replace all the main components and then see what I have.

Hey guys, I posted this in the System 80 club on Pinside, but thought I would hit up the local crowd as well. On my Black Hole, after a few games, the whole game will lock on the coil reset and the lower playfield 4 drop bank will lock the solenoid half way and hold it until I shut it down. I checke...

We lost power for a few hours in Sun Prairie this morning and my neighbor across the street has some roof damage from a fallen branch, but otherwise okay.

Guys, Did anyone else contact the guy about the $200 F-14 on Craigslist this week? Seemed too good to be true, or junk, but I thought it was worth the effort to at least see. Sent the guy an email yesterday morning. This morning, I receive emails from 2 different accounts telling me the F-14 is sold...

Anybody looking for a partner for the team event?

Was down there last night checking everything out. Kind of wish Gladiators was in the main group. Never seen that machine before and it is pretty cool. Love the ramp flow.

Hi guys, my name is Scott Baumann and my handle on both here and pinside is Slinger. That comes from my comic book days and my favorite character was Cap. I've been doing a lot more lurking than posting on here, so I figured it was time to say hello. Started playing a lot of pinball in the mid-80's ...
