Bit "O " Fun...... What Tool Is This??
« on: January 09, 2011, 12:54:55 AM »
Had to fix my Gottlieb sys 3 game today... this game is bloody rock solid.. wasnt so much a fault, but it seems the machine has eaten a ball..... buggered if i can find it but 3 in the trough required but only 2 now present.. i have absolutely no idea where it is!

Anyway... i found this... its supplied by Gottlieb Premier and came with instructions.. yes its a tool... but what does it do?

Ill post a pic explaining all once someone posts correct....should be easy for some ( maybe?) I go on holiday on Monday so wont be online for a week... guess you lot have 2 days to get this right then eh?
Is a devil of a tool....

Subnote:  had this game for a couple of years and still finding stuff inside it... i love pinball.. never predictable

ok....... Tool

Hmmmm - looks like a PCB removal tool to me.  Push over the riser and pull the board up for painless removal *%*

I tend to use playfield spacer posts that are the right size for the job.

cheers

You didnt fancy dragging it out a bit then i take it?

Yes.. its a PCB removal tool.. never seen one before ( oh im far too EM!!!), but when i found it i had to laugh.. been using my finger nails for years whilst cursing like an Australian opening batsman trying to prise the buggers off... ive even snipped the tops off before out of frustration!

here she is in all her Gottlieb Premier glory

( BTW.. well done.. will get something more difficult next time)

more importantly, was the missing ball found under the circuit board!

Hmm, I've always used pliers; this tool could come in handy when working on computers by the look of it.

I fear that the ball is with the spirits now... has completely vanished
