I officially hate my pinball machine, its a pile

[Olivia_jason]

my pinball machine is worse than hitler, it is the spawn of the devil.
its a money pit and the problems keep coming, damn i hate it lol
and i think it hates me also.

ok blew a fuse for the controlled lights today, replaced the fuse but no go, guessing it burnt something out
. i still cant figure out why it only plays certain sound tracks and not others, i must have some terminal problems with this thing.
anyh one know a good pinball techy willing to service the sunshine coast qld?

up until today i put all this down to it being old and with age these things happen.
however I am now certain I have underestimated this pinball.
I also thought these pinballs had basic computers with no real processing power due to its age,
again I think I have underestimated this machine.
I have come to the conclusion this machine is a super genius that has built a life of its own over the last 25 years,
I think over all these years this machine has developed a satanic personality where it is getting its jolly's by fu#king with my head.
I believe that what looks like a dirty old 1980's pinball is in fact an evil conniving hate machine, that has suckered me in to a never ending game of frustrating doom.
I also believe this machine has a grand plan of trying to destroy me and is possibly trying to send me over the edge of sanity by inflicting as much stress on me as possible.
This Pinball is very clever it has worked out that by allowing me to think I am winning, and at my highest point it comes back with a new but more catastrophic problem than the one i fixed before.
the conclusion is- age has not made this machine crappy, it has instead made it a pure evil machine of hate

mate to be honest you got lucky by avoiding this machine, it is an infliction i should keep from spreading. lol

Mate what you need is more pinball machines, yes you heard me. The thing is I have 3 machines, been working on my Stern Galaxy for a few months now. I don't even know if it will go when I finally get the boards back in and coils replaced.
But the thing is when I get sick of this machine I just fire up the Gottlieb Wipeout DMD, it always runs, never seems to have a problem (so far).
So you always need  to have a backup pinny, one that sits there faithfully waiting for you to play it. Then when you get the shits with the satanic machine you can come over to the good side for a while.
Anyway, just my 2 bobs worth

 Ha ha ha  nice one wotto 


Jason the best bit of advice to make this game reliable is to replace all the connectors after all these years there just about rooted many of these pins if a connection is lost can cause all sorts of problems.

Oh yeh... didnt see that bit...LOL... my mistake!

[Olivia_jason]

Lol, I was thinking ddstoys that maybe I should do the Old witch test to see if it is cursed or not. Tie a rock to it and if it floats then I know its cursed and if it sinks then I know the connectors are the problem and it's just old lol. I tried to find the popes number in the phone book to get hi
  To perform an excersism, I couldn't find it so the which test is my only option now. Wish me luck guys

[Olivia_jason]

Got a pm from beaky who from what i am aware of has the popes blessing to perform an excersism to remove demons from pinballs. If he wants to attempt this he better have the faith. This machine is one diabolical devil and could destroy the will of most mear mortals lol. But seriously thanx mate

Good work Beaky
