Re: LotR Cave Shot question

Nope not getting a letter, but it would trigger TTT multiball, gives you credit for a sword shot in the various ring modes, etc. I'll take a close look at that switch next time I'm up. If that is broken would the game adjust to use the roll over switches to trigger a successful sword shot? I thought...

LotR Cave Shot question - SOLVED!

Hey guys, It appears that our LotR machine is counting the cave shot as a sword shot for all modes/locks/etc. Is this normal or do we have a glitch somewhere? I see from some of your sig's that a few of you own LotR machines and I was wondering if you could shed some light on this. My family owns th...

Re: Ball trough issues - Goldeneye

Just a quick update. After more tinkering with the switches I got the problem to happen less. I think I fixed the ball 2 slot, but the ball 4/5 slot seems to still be very sensitive. I have ordered 5 replacement switches with diodes that should be here this week, but as a total newb I would love to ...

MAME Pedestal reference

Hey guys, I know this is the pinball forums, but you guys seem to know a ton about home arcades in general and I wanted to tap into that knowledge for a reference. My family is looking to add a MAME 4-player pedestal to the game collection at the house up north. We would be looking to buy it fully f...

Re: Ball trough issues - Goldeneye

I'm in Brookfield, close to the corner of Capitol and Calhoun.

That would be awesome if you would be willing to do that. I'm not home tomorrow night but I should be around the rest of the week.

Re: Ball trough issues - Goldeneye

I did reseat the the connectors to both opto boards with no effect on the issue. The flippers going dead has happened only twice out of the last 20+ games. The multiball ending while 2 balls are still in play happens 9/10 times. I did get a new 'clue' to the puzzle last night while playing. The ball...

Re: Ball trough issues - Goldeneye

All connections look solid, nothing loose, no breaks or cracks that i can see. Not sure how to check for a broken diode, but it does look just like the others.. no bulging or cracks. So I'm thinking its just an adjustment to the switch... which brings me to my next question... how can i get that swi...

Re: Ball trough issues - Goldeneye

Looking at it more I really don't think its the opto. Goldeneye has 5 rollover switches where the balls sit until they are relasease to the opto and hit by the VUK and then a horizontal kicker fires it into the shooter lane. From what I have read, issues with the opto would cause extra balls to be f...

Ball trough issues - Goldeneye - SOLVED!

Hey guys, I wanted to get this thread started while I'm at work to see if anyone has any ideas for me to check on before I start really digging into the issue. Like the subject said, I believe I am having some issues with the physical switches in my ball trough on Goldeneye. What's happening is for ...

Re: WTB - DMD Pin for $2500 or less

Picked up Goldeneye from Matt yesterday. Got it all setup and leveled, then was able to get several games in. It's a great game (very fast!), I'm really happy with the purchase. Thank you Matt and everyone else for your input. I'll be looking for some advice in the near future on an LED upgrade for ...

Re: WTB - DMD Pin for $2500 or less

Just to update everyone Matt (Pixelbleed) and I are finalizing a deal on the Goldeneye machine this week. He is asking for $2000, below are some pic's and a video. I can assume from previous comments, but let me know if you think it's a good deal. This will be the first step into the endless spiral ...
