Hi Spooky rides,

Let me look, most of the spinners I have are beat but you never know. I may also have a few stickers I got from PBR years ago. I've used a few of these on machines that I have refurbed they look good and seem to last. after I put the sticker on I dunk the spinner in water base poly urethane.

Hi,

I have not sold either one, I am waiting for another batch of MPU boards to be made so I can bullet proof them. at this time I am more apt to sell the Family fun over the Startrip.

Hi Beanerkc,
Do you need the entire flipper assembly including the metal plate ?
When you say target are you talking drop target or the red stationary target?

Brian

I need a decent looking Spinner target  for my Sharp Shooter.

I have a MPU-1 in a cocktail that I am trying to get working. I have had it for years and has always been a little flaky. What it does right now is boots up to 5 flashes but then resets and starts all over again. Seems that this would be the test before the rom test? The reset circuit is definitely working and the problem doesn't appear to be watchdog related. Only reason I say not watchdog is the continuous flashing symptom on the pinball repair guide for GP says resets would be happening at roughly 5 times a second, reset only goes low for a brief flash after the 5th test flash and sometimes the board boots completely and works fine. There is no question that this board is functioning were it not for the reset. Like all GP boards this one has had battery damage but has been repaired. I'm not sure exactly what is causing the problem, considering replacing the roms as they are the original masked roms. Anybody have tips, would replacing the roms be on the right track?

Thanks in advance!

have any flippers and targets? Could also use a complete flipper setup for my third flipper and any Agents 777 items your may have.

Hi,
I'm fixing an Agent 777 for somebody, my first Gameplan. It's was totally dead (missing parts, hacked..) Now it's booting and I can play a game.

I have two problems left:

- Right sling et bumper not working on diagnostic test
- Controlled lamp not working (some stay always on or always off)

I'm concentrate on Lamp right now. I think the problem is on the MPU. No lamps in diagnostic mode.
If I understand right  LDU 4514  need to have low signal to be enable, but I seem to always have high so 4514s outputs stay low.

Lamp enable is coming from a 74154. On the 74154 inputs coming from the PIA I have data on pin 20,21, 23 and 0V on pin 22.  So I guess the PIA or this 74154 have problems.

Since I don't want to change chip for the fun of it, does somebody have an advice how to troubleshoot this problem.  Just want to understand what's happening in the section for the controlled lamps.

Thanks

Yes, this is for the echo lake mpu board.

Is this the MPU board?

I have been communicating with Jim about purchasing a few Gameplan repacement boards but he is currently out of stock. Jim needs 12 boards spoken for before he cam place an order. If any one needs one please jump in. Jims info is below.

Thank you,

Brian McCauley
