Big Together Pinball Repair

[wonder]

hi guys

trying to fix a sega BIG TOGETHER 1978???pinball that i had for ages.Need a copy of the ROM (2076) as mine is reading its corrupt.Cant find no manual,drawing,etc for this machine on the net at all.

I'm sure they brought more than one out to Australia.Has any one seen one or played one as need some help with this one.

If its cant be fixed what do i do with it.

Got some photos may jog someone memory.Either way i need the room for the new one

interesting placement of the legs on this machine too!

Wow! Interesting game. You should get some photos over to www.ipdb.org as all they have is the flyer.

Got no idea how to burn/copy Roms ect so didn't wont to stuff it up so sent it to Travis to see if he could copy it.No luck as it just comes up with read errors.

The ROM is very thin and had gold legs which were broken and someone had tried to solider new one on which did not work.Not if sure the damage was done then or before but if i can find a copy it would be nice.

Hard to find any information at all on this machine at all,going to post on some of the USA forms and see what happens.
Someone in Australia must have one in there back shed somewhere

cheers

Wow Craig,

I had never even heard of this game before! What a cool looking pin.

As the other guys suggested post on RGP and send more pix to IPDB - where did you pick up this game?

I've never heard or seen of this game. That would be a very rare find.

You might have to post a tech thread on RGP

Here is the flyer from IPDB - freaky looking pin!

Yea i think it might be my best chance,was hoping you might have seen one before.

Was one of my first pinball package deal a long time ago.A big together(sega) and a big town(playmatic) 500 for both non working. Got all excited as now i have two pinballs in my collection,that was until i did some research on them. Because the sega had this problem i never really done anything to this machine.Wasted all my time on the playmatic.(still works at random)
Got to move it as need some room so i thought i try again.

Mate - where are you located??
Id be interested in buying this non working if its for sale.
problem with SEGA pins is that you are very much on your own when it comes to fixing them.
id certainly be interested in this as a long term fix project

Spoke to my buddy John Wart Jnr in the States (pretty much Mr ROM around RGP) and he responded like most of us - never heard of the game before he got my email. No luck there with the ROM. I'd certainly be doing a post on RGP as someone might be able to help. Another option would be to e-mail Clay (who writes the www.pinrepair.com materials) and see what he knows.

Any chance of taking pics of the machine? playfield, boards cabinet etc and uploading to http://www.ipdb.org/ ?

email sent, and posted on rgp but not sure if in right section and had trouble putting picture on.Going to try again as john ??? i think has replied.Looking forward to finding out the history of this machine.

Going to take some better pictures of it to sent to  http://www.ipdb.org/.Did notice a bit of paint flaking so will get that sorted out at the same time.
Some of the old ones

That's a truly unique pinball. I hope someone can help you get it going, Craig.

Thanks for posting pictures, I can say I've "seen one" now.

I had no idea SEGA were making pins this long ago. Amazing!
