Thank you to all the people who have been clicking our Amazon link: amzn.to/3gg8Iq9 before they buy anything on Amazon, it gives us some of Amazon's money for each thing you're already going to buy anyways :) We appreciate it!
For a second there I thought I was going to need to buy you a new camera on Amazon. (whew glad it didn't break)
The crazy thing is, it zoomed in and was all blurry, so when I turned it on I thought it was broke! It lived through it though!
That FIRE POWER game had great (and obnoxious) sounds. This game has a beautiful back display in the dark. It's very entertaining to watch these.
Thank you for watching Buck!
I love watching these old machines come back to life and work once more. I wish I had room and the money to give some of them a home. Regardless keep doing what your doing it keeps the history of these machines alive.
Ron I like it when you play pinball in the light, haven't the foggiest whats happening on the playfield in the dark, I'm sure you dont agree with my sentiment...Excellent video again.
Thanks for watching Mr. K!!!
I nearly had a heart attack when you were testing the flippers. 🤪
I did too, but at least I laughed about it, LOL I thought the damn thing was broke when i turned it on and it was all blurry!
Lefty-Joe!
I Love your work.
I wish I could fix old arcade and pinball all day, some guys are just lucky.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ColdHam, we appreciate it! It's kind of like being a television repairman usually :)
Hey Ron. I love your videos, ya know that. One thing I would like to see is when you do a recap from the previous video like you did in this one is include a time stamp to jump past all the stuff from the previous video. Still an excellent video and I loved every minute of it 😊
Thanks for watching pilotkid, we appreciate it! I didn't realize I even put previous stuff in this one....
Love seeing these old EMs running again.
Usually I would be cautious changing to the "high tap" as this potentially can shorten the life of the coils and relays, but I think this machine benefits from it.
It will tend to make the coils a bit noisier though 🙂.
Thanks for another great repair and test 🙂
Yeah I never like to high tap them but if the flippers are kind of sluggish sometimes you don't have any choice.... thanks for watching Brendan we appreciate it!
@@LyonsArcade I am the one who should thank you for putting these up. You do the best Arcade repair videos. Straight up, You love making these work again, it's not just a job for you. It's a passion.
Great video as always guys. These older pinnies are good to see and quite satisfying to see them being fixed. Keep up the great work,Darren all the way from Australia
Thank you for watching Darren, aren't satellites a wonderful thing? Or maybe there's a big cable through the ocean, not sure :) We've got many more videos coming soon, thank you for watching!
Your videos bring me so much joy. Keep it up!.
thank you for watching Orlando, glad you enjoy them! We have many more on the way.
Great videos! I had no idea I was operating such a complex machine as a teenager.
Yeah they've got all kinds of stuff in them!
I'm holding the camera with the wrong hand....10 seconds later...I'm not holding the camera. LOL. Also: "no mas problemas" Sounds like you learned something from another youtube series. Another great video. Hope things are well with you guys.
Yeah this one got crazy, LOL Thanks for watching pez....
Congrats on getting this machine working! Very cool!
Thank you for watching Thomas! We appreciate it!
I'm from Seattle and enjoy watching you whenever possible. I have a em machine
Great video as always and I'm learning a lot with each one I view. I'm glad your camera didn't break, props to the carpet.
It was definitely a close call :) Thanks for watching!
I acquired one of these games in early April. I learned a lot from your two videos - thank you!
Thanks Scott, have fun with it!
It looks so different in the light and then lit up in the dark, it like two different games. The backglass goes from comic pulp to stylish and moody
Yeah, part of that is because it's faded but I think they kind of designed them like that, depending on where you put it and how much light was there, they may have wanted two different looks. In a dark bowling alley bar, it looks moody, but in a roller skating rink it looks more like a comic.
Love the repair videos. Wish i could check out your shop but I'm in central texas and that's a hell of a drive.
Well you can swing by and watch our videos several times a week, thank you for watching and we'll see you on the next one!
Bravo on a job well done. Thank you.
Thank you Murray, we appreciate you watching!
These are very enjoyable to watch....
Thank you Izzynutz, we appreciate that!
Great video as always. :) I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching these pinball repairs. Looks like a fun but pretty simple table. Nothing really fancy, In terms of gameplay. Even by EM standards.
I'm still waiting with baited breath for the spidey next door :D
Spidey is coming, we ordered a brand new backglass for it at great expense that is on the way, but we have two other pinball machines we are going to fix before it so it'll still be a little while. You'll get to the side of the cabinet in the background of the other repair videos, hahahaha
@@LyonsArcade haha. It will just build the anticipation some more :D
I really like how clear and sharp your videos look now that I can see all the details including the lines and curves that make up your finger's prints... then you go and drop the camera LOL. Anyway I'm glad all went well and by the time you hit a hundred and fifty, you'll still be doing a great job with the next generation of videos. As for the chimes, they seemed to sound louder and better before you fixed it or it just might have been me hehe.
In person they sound better afterwards but it kind of doesnt' come across in the video you're right :) Thanks for watching Gabz, we appreciate it!
Another flipping good video!
Why thank you, Gorillaau!
Oh yeah another video from JCVG, thank you guys :--)
Thank you Hunter we appreciate you watching! See you on the next one!
joe´s good repair
Thank you Wilder!
Cheers for the nifty vid, bud!! 😎😎
Thank you Cliff!
Cool video Ron. Looking forward to what Joe does with the body of the machine...was thinking the back box could definitely use at least some paint touch-ups if not a whole repaint to make it look super sweet!
Unfortunately on this one the gentleman just wanted us to fix it, we didn't do much cosmetically! Thank you for watching but you're right yes a little touchup paint would go a long way!
I got Prodigy - Out Of Space in my head now.
Just what we were going for!
I miss the old electro-mechanical pinball machines spent a lot of coins on them, Miss the old bells the whole building would shake good times.
Yeah I'd like to get a whole room of 'em going but as soon as I fix one, somebody buys it! I can't even get two of them going!
@27:48 Love the production quality
I left that in just for you sweetheart
@@LyonsArcade Very good. Thx for the videos... also subscribed to the Towering Mail box channel.
Love that feeling you get when those score reels score correctly for the first time cause you fixed them! Is there a better sound?
Nope!
@@LyonsArcade Depends on what is better.. you could make some mods (on the chimes at least).. If they're too loud, you could try stubs from a xylophone instead... vs the metallophone things now.. It'll sound a lot mellower...
Or does he mean the sound of the actual wheels? .. No idd.. it's how they sound.. that's also why old cashregisters sound that way too.... It's not an intended sound, it's just the sound of the thing working
It's pronounced Gotlieb not Gotlieb! Now I can start watching the video.
There you go!
I LOVE YOU SIR!
Did you know we have a second channel? It's called "My Brother Donnie" and at the moment he and I are rehabbing an old torn to pieces Mobile Home we bought... multiple problems ensue :) I'll see you over there : ua-cam.com/channels/uDDNTFs-BLcNYq4DO-BYYA.html
27:40 1.... 2... 3... Floor.
Won't be in the store anytime soon.. I'm from the Netherlands. ;) Loving your vids though
WHOOPS Thank you for watching in the Netherlands Jazz!
Hello. Do you have a picture please of which part you have adjusted to get the 100s etc count properly? I have a Magnotron which has issues issues with counting properly the numbers... Also, what activates the chimes please? Mines do not work at all.. Thanks
I have a pinball machine that is stuck on bonus trying to reset it's making the sa m e sound this made when you turned it on but mine is stuck there any sugestions
Greetings from Chicago, IL.. Let me know if you get your hands on a Royal Flush Deluxe.
I've never seen that one but if I get it I'll let you know!
Might be worth sticking a bridge rectifier in this game for the flippers and maybe for the sling and pops. No drops to break on this game and nothing really close to cause airballs although the varitarget might be a victim there.
This would probably be a good one to do it to...
Well, that's another paycheck for ya old chap !
Kaching!
Joe's Classic, when looking at the EM schematic of the normally open switches, how do you know which ones are the "end of stroke" switches on the score reels because the EM schematic doesn't say which contact switches are the end of stroke switches on the score reels?
Always the normally closed switches in series are the end of stroke switches for the score reels relay coils?
It usually says actually, not sure if it did on these or not, it'll say "E.O.S." or something like that... they have to label it so you can know where it is, and the only way to refer to it is the end of stroke switch.
E.O.S is not listed on the Normally Open switch or Normally Closed switch on the schematic part where its drawn out with the coils ands switch contacts. It must have the E.O.S information on the right side of the schematic part?
I'm talking about the end of stroke switches on the score reels not the flippers EOS switches
But the schematic that shows all the coils, normally open switches, normally closed switches "does not" label on the schematic wiring diagram which switches are the EOS on the score reels. This is confusing when trying to figure out which of the contact switches on the EM schematics are EOS for each store reel. Each Store reel will have an EOS switch but the EM schematics won't tell you or have labelled them on the schematics. EM pinball games that use AC voltages have Jet bumper coils and EM pinball games that use DC voltages have Removed the Jet Bumper coils, any reasons why?
I have the same machine and I had it working and resetting properly. Then I lost the flippers and pop bumpers .... as in not working anymore. The play field lights up but will not score at all anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
What happens when you press start?
@@LyonsArcade the machine completely resets and will not score anything on the play field. It has general illumination the bonus unit will reset and the plunger on the left side of the machine will actuate but no scoring no flippers no pot bumpers at all.additionally this all happened as the machine was blowing the 25 volt fuse . The left and right pop bumpers were not working properly the right has a burnt coil and the left if the ball hit it would short out and blow the fuse in my opinion. I was working on the pop bumpers when this happened.
Just curious, so how many hours did you charge to repair this game?
We don't charge by the hour we just charge by the job, I believe that particular one was about $400 when all was said and done getting it all working again, cleaning and servicing all the relays and steppers, cleaning and re rubbering the playfield, etc. typically we just take a look at it, figure out what it's gonna take and then quote a price for the whole thing. On the EM's there's usually not much money that needs to be spent on parts, it's mainly time and effort.
@@LyonsArcade Yes, based on the time I have spent on cleaning points ect. ect. 400 was a great price for all you did!
Hey Joe it's Randy with the darling we fixed remember long time no talk I know I am got a Rowe cd100e replaced all the little teeny lights in it they worked now they won't even work double check checked everything it's the animation box I think that's lit up everything's fine but the lights won't come on not even blinking 760-504-1510 wondering if you have a book bcuz the books I got for the rowe don't cover that jukebox thanks brother
Randy I looked all over my stuff and the net, I can't find a CD100e book anywhere, there's very littel Rowe stuff out there for download!
Well your not supposed to test the flippers with the camera.
It might work but it sucks for the camera.
I think what happened was, the pinball came off that flipper so hard it bounced up and hit the camera. I think. The only other option is I'm clumsy and we all know that ain't true.
Or also gravity wasn't working in your favor.
