Virutal Pinball - Repair

[St4rgalaqtic]

Sooooo I may have done something stupid, I like pinball on my phone and computer. Mainly the FX pinball series. Love real life pinball, and have several pinball spaces in the area in which I live. But between family, kids, work, and whatever elese seems to pop up I don't have time to hang out at arcades like I used to. Soooo I looked into virutal pinball tables, mainly the Atgames tables. Looked to be able to play all the fx pinball games I love, and I was ready to pull the trigger. Then I got a alert, 3 Atgames TMNT virtual pinball machines all broken. So I put in my price $200 each hoping to win at least one........ I won all 3. Soooo now I am adventuring into the world of virtual pinball repair. Wish me luck!

Got the first one all tore down, it was surprisingly easy. Cab has alot of internal space, I know you can buy an upgraded haptics kit. But even after installing that you still have a decent amount of room to work with.

Issues with this one, power cables. For some strange reason Atgames spliced the two power connections for the SSF kit into the main power wire. And the splices were done in a not so professional manner. So they were causing a short.

Solution: going to drop a terminal block into the cab and just wire it up. No more splicing.

Terminal block all wired up, nice and neat and secured to the bottom of the cab with gorilla tape. No more holes have been drilled or covered up. All connects tested and boom we have life!!

And since i had some laying around, I replaced the flipper buttons with gold leaf switch buttons. So much smoother than the originals.
