EM Help needed - Stevens Point

Anyone near Point that can troubleshoot an EM? Sold a GTL Egg Head that stopped working (completely black). He said it popped a fuse, and he replaced it, but still nothing. Part of the issue is he misread and replaced the fuse with a 1 amp. At minimum, it appears to need a 10amp fuse - and to find o...

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Central Division Champs!!!

I'm loving it! After transferring to State Fair Park 14 years ago, I transferred back to Miller Park this spring. So far, it's been one hell of a run. I was lucky enough to work Super Bowl 32 (when the Packers lost to Denver). Eight more wins and I earn a ring. Man, do I want to say I was a small pa...

Re: FS: GTL Cactus Jacks $1100

Tons of inserts, 8 drop targets, two ramps, multi-ball, hurry-up modes, and more. German, country & western, polka'ing cactus's (cacti for you purists). Goal is to throw fruit at the band. I wonder what was going on at GTL at the time to allow this theme to get made. Simple GTL System 3 bang the...

FS: GTL Cactus Jacks $1100 - sold

I'll classify this as decent - -Cabinet is rough -Playfield is average. It is mylared. There are some small chips (less than 1/4 inch)in the mylar in the center section of the playfield. I found broken playfield glass in the cabinet, so I assume there is a connection. There is minor wear near the po...

Re: FS: Black Knight 2000 $2,800

Those two holes you speak of below the flippers are normal. They are for proper alignment of the flippers.

Re: How did you all get started?

You can tell my age... I bought a couple of machines off the newspaper and shopper classifieds, fixed them up, sold them for a profit, rinse and repeat. I went to arcade auctions, met distributors and operators, and networked wherever I could. Bulk deals started falling into place. I started buildin...

Re: Appleton Drunk Capitol of the USA

I've been lucky to live and work in many different areas of the country. I have witnessed Wisconsin residents drink events like Bowl Games and Super Bowls out of beer. For Super Bowl 33, we almost drank San Diego out of Miller Lite (true!). If you move to another state, do not answer the question &q...

Re: 1962 Williams Trade Winds SOS!

Look at the middle playfield picture on IPDB.org On the left side of the playfield, just above and to the left of the special is a hole. That's where one of the screws should be. Same with the right side. On the lower picture, you can see the holes about an inch above the apron on either side. There...

Re: 1962 Williams Trade Winds SOS!

I'd bet that you have screws in each side of the playfield holding it down. Williams of that vintage had them.

Then, look at the bottom of the cabinet for the tilt switch that was activating when you kicked the machine. Like you said, chances are you knocked it out of alignment.

Re: OT: United Bonus Baseball pitch and bat - $350 (SOLD)

Almost time to turn to warm weather activities. It will be a fall/winter project. Got the schematic ordered from PBR. Going to go with woodrail legs on the front. Since the homemade legs are already screwed into the cabinet (and the damage done), I might as well drill it for era-proper legs. Anyone ...

Took a while to coordinate with the seller, but she's home now. Thanks for hooking me up with this. She will clean up nicely.
