where are the buttons to get to and control the service menu?

@exoticcar5482 The service buttons are on the coin door! (on the inside)

hey John, I saw a photostream of yours on flickr.com, and i noticed that one pic had newer arcade games, such as Cruis'n World, House of the Dead, etc. Did you once own games like that at your old house?

@mrgutchman Those aren't my games. Those are pictures of friends games.

Love the pin, have had it a couple months now.

Every now and then, I push the start button, takes a minute to kick on. Doesn't do it all the time, am thinking, one of those things, all the bells and whistles and electronics.

Anybody else have a delay reaction, sometimes, on the start button?

John great job on the Simpson pinball machine!

[YoScooby]

Hey Dude, thanks for the response. I got the funds together and bought a Simpsons pin. Been watching the YouTube reviews and reading up. Lot of positive feedback, can't wait to get mine. I really like the way you can do a system check, volume control, I saw it displayed at the end of this clip, really it was the selling point. I'm going to place the back of the machine to a inner wall, hope it absorbs some sound.

@YoScooby

Yes there is a volume control. I own this game and absolutely love it! The problem I have encountered with pinball is this. Even if you have the volume all the way down, they still make a lot of noise that seems to penetrate through walls and ceilings. It is the firing of the coils that does it.

Question on pin ball machines in general:

Is there a volume control on these games? I live in Southern California, beach community. Neighbors are close and I worry about the noise. I had an old Williams "Magic City" mechanical machine that I had to get rid of, too noisy. I'm ready to pull the pin and buy "Simpsons Pinball Party", noise is an issue though.

Thanks

@brettv8 Yes it is because the circuity on the machine either wasn't originally designed for LEDs or the designers of the circuit board got lazy and make the LED flicker to simulate dimming rather then actually lowering the voltage. When an LED has constant current going into it they are solid on, and stable, its when then electricity decides to flicker at like 50 hertz or something it will drive me crazy. Incandescent lights cant flicker like that because they cant go off and on that fast.

@lander77477 LED lights are really disorientating, I spoke to one guy he was nearly physically sick on a machine due to the use of LED's. Maybe something due to the hertz?
