1  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Pinball lights not working on: September 20, 2011, 10:55:14 am
I have noticed that some bulbs on the playfield and coin door are not lighting up.  These lights worked about three weeks ago.  I tried changing the bulbs and that did not work.

Any ideas what would cause the lights not to work?  I have a Taxi machine.  I did turn on the bell through the game adjustment menu.  It's pretty cool to hear a bell ring during game play, but I am not sure if that caused certain lights to go dark.

Any help is appreciated.  This is my first pinball so I am a novice at pinball repair.

What is a good vendor to purchase cleaner, bulbs and replacement parts for a late 80's pinball machine?  I have never cleaned or repaired a pinball machine so any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Thanks

Picked up a "Marilyn" Taxi pinball machine a few weeks ago.  The machine is in great condition.  It's been in some collectors' hands the last few years.  I don't think the machine was on route since it does not have the drill holes for the theft bar.  Needless to say I am stoked.  I remember pumping quarters into this machine during my college years, and I was finally able to snag a decent one for my gameroom.   Grin
4  Tech and Marketplace / For Sale / Wanted / Stools for cocktail table on: May 11, 2011, 11:39:02 pm
Does anyone know where I can purchase stools to use while playing my cocktail game?  I just want a basic black stool that you see all the time for upright games, but I can't seem to find it in the smaller size for the cocktail machine.

Thanks

Would like to purchase a countertop bar video game like you see in the bars and John's arcade.  What is a good brand to buy and what do they cost used?  Someone has a megatouch xl platinum listed for $400.  Thanks

Thanks for the info.  I don't have the 60 in 1 card, but I am sure the adjustment is probably similar for the 23 in 1 card.

I have a multicade cocktail machine that currently saves the high scores for several games such as donkey kong and galaga.  Does anybody know how to reset the high scores to zero?

Somebody in my area has a dualsystem that is not working and looks to be in rough shape.  They said one on the monitors was working, but after some adjustments neither of the monitors are currently working.  Could the monitors be an easy fix and what would be a reasonable offer for this currently non-working system?

My name is Steve and I live in San Diego.  I am new to arcade collecting but have been playing the machines since the 70's.  I just recently purchased a multicade cocktail machine.  It has a Ms. Pacman underlay and a pacman graphics around the joysticks.  I am not sure if it was an original Pacman machine converted or what.  Also it has 23 games on it.  23 seems like an odd number to me.  Has anyone seen this before?

I want to give John some props for his gameroom.  That place is awesome.  You have some really great games in there.
