Can anyone tell me a good place to order the parts from? I saw some service manuals and the rubber bands on ebay, but I am having trouble finding motherboards, etc. Never owned a pinball machine before and very excited to start working on it. :)
@lordbb1 Thanks so much! just got the pin home and in the garage and looks like i have my work cut out for me. hopefully won't need a new MB, but definitely going to have to find a way to fix the divits in the playboard - pretty excited :)
I have recently replaced the board and the fuse that controlled power to that area-it blew when the old board bought the farm-and now I have it working again. :D
Finally figured out the problem, one of the boards suffered an "epic failure" which is most likely irrepairable-there's a big burn mark on it. gonna cost a fortune to replace, like $170.
BTW I noticed that all that was left of the "METEOR" targets was "ME-EO-" so maybe the machine is revealing it's inner cat? maybe it'll hiss at someone who abuses the machine!
Thanks for the inspiration!
