Being a pinball machine owner, what to be prepared for

In this rather long video I talk about some of the technical things that end up dealing with and fixing when you own an old pinball machine.
It can serve as ...inspiration or a warning, if you are thinking about buying a machine for yourself. 🙂

Replacing a #906 incandescent bulb with LED

In this video I replace a #906 incandescent used as flashers in old pinball machines with a LED.

Addams Family Pinball Repair - Part 1 of 2, The Transistor

I try to find a faulty transistor in my Addams Family Pinball machine so I can get the lightning flashing again. The world would be a sad place without gadgets to tinker with.

Addams Family Pinball Repair - Part 2, The conclusion

In this part 2, I get the spare parts and I attempt to replace the transistor that drives the flasher bulbs on top of the back box. Until now, the repairs I have performed on pinball machines have only been mechanical. Check out part 1 where I diagnose the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3I_J29O39M

Pinball Repair, Burnt General illumination connector in Twilight Zone and LED testing

In this video I repair my Twilight Zone pinball machine. Some of the lights in the general illumination are not always functioning because of a bad connection that have caused the connector to be burnt. So it has to be replaced and I have ordered the tools and some new connectors.

Twilight Zone Pinball Home ROM test

Have finally installed the home ROM version of the software on my Twilight Zone( theme based on the TV series if there were any doubt). There's a bunch of changes to the game. --------------- NOTE: The "H" (home) ROM is "free play only". It will not take money to do pay for play. 1) Added a new adjustment: "LITZ CHEAT OK". When set to YES, this allows the player to ...

Have finally installed the home ROM version of the software on my Twilight Zone( theme based on the TV series if there were any doubt).

There's a bunch of changes ...to the game.
---------------
NOTE: The "H" (home) ROM is "free play only". It will not take
money to do pay for play.

1) Added a new adjustment: "LITZ CHEAT OK". When set to
YES, this allows the player to hold in the buy-in
button during game play to enable Lost in the Zone.
The next shot to the Slot Machine or Piano will
start a LITZ "practice round". The player is not
able to enter intials for LITZ champ if the cheat has
been performed.

2) Implemented "Mute & Pause" mode. Pressing buy-in Button
while holding a flipper will kill music and keep flipper held.
Pressing buy-in again will resume regular play.
This feature can be disabled by adjustment ("MUTE & PAUSE OK").
The game resumes automatically after 15 minutes.

NOTE: If you are worried about your flipper hold coil getting
hot with this feature, then disable it.

3) Added a magnet ball-catching effect at the beginning of multball.
This will catch the balls on the magnets if all of these conditions
are in effect:
- 3 magnets installed, and all 3 work
- adjustment for the effect is ON
- 0 or 1 balls in the lockup
- white ball is in the gumball machine
(Note that the last condition requires that the game
has actually seen a white ball loaded since last
power up or exit from Test mode, since the location of the
white ball is not tracked across initialization.)
This effect can be disabled by adjustment ("MB ST. 3 MAG. GRAB").

4) Added an adjustment that allows white ball detection during multiball
("M.B. P.B. DETECT OK"). With this adjustment turned ON (default)
the game behaves as before. With it OFF, then the game can no longer
be fooled into thinking the white ball is in play by a quick 1-2 shot into the
piano and slot machine. Use of this adjustment is recommended only
if all of the proximity sensors are correctly functioning.

5) Added a preset ("INSTALL #pinball") for home adjustments
desired by group of silly Twilight Zone owners.[+] Show More

LED Pinball lamps test

Bought some LEDS from pinballcenter.eu for general illumination. I wanted to compare them with old school #44's in my Twilight Zone machine. They look a lot better than expected although if they are "warm white" then I hate to see the "white". 🙂 I have been considering installing them in places where you can't see the bulb directly. One thing I didn't consider was ...

I SUCK at playing my own pinball machine

4K Ultra HDR Pinball

Up close and personal with the Twilight Zone in a race for the highscore. This time in 4K Ultra HDR. This one is limited to 1000 nits to please YouTube. So the first time I used the Panasonic DC-GH5S. Recorded on 10bit 25fps Hybrid Log-Gamma.

Going through my pinball spare parts

Going through a selection of spare parts for pinball machines, since we have to #stayhome why not have a look at them #withme. It's mostly for Bally/Midway Williams machines but there's some generic stuff included. So if you feel like hanging out, welcome. Now let's look at some awesome #pinball stuff.
