f14 tomcat issues.

Spoke to my dad the otherday about the topper belts. He came back to me with o-ring tubing. He told meto use soldering iron and stick it together for the correct size. Tested it out and bingo. It works. I repaired both as i had to drop the motor out. But if you had three hands you could do it with out pulling out the motor.

Tubing is brown.

Just have to tidy up the edges of thetubing after its stuck together.

Was replacing the plastics and tidying up playfield and i found this. So now looking for a some spinner decals and the two other stickers while im going. Any one out ther got the four stickers. Im looking at buying some from usa.

Just woundering how do you guys remove these light covers. I did drill out the blind riverts. But just checking if there is another way. Also what do u replace them with when you put them back together. I have loads of small bolts and nuts just a tad scared about using a riverter to put them back on with.

[MartyJ]

Yes to drill them out. To replace you need a rivet press. These are speciality for pinball repairs

[vanhos]

Bolts and nuts it is.

[MartyJ]

Whereabouts in Vic are you?

[vanhos]

Warrnambool

[MartyJ]

About 5 hrs away. Bit far to swing past to rivet. Not sure if anyone up that way has a press

[vanhos]

Yeah down that way. Even the goverment thinks were to far away.

you should of stuck it in the package with the boards.

Oh and buy the way your sound board and cpu board are ready so you will be able to play it soon.
no switch matrix faults found but the test display was doing the same freaky stuff as it was doing in your machine.

boards have been made as good as new so no need for new boards
I will post some before and after photos soon.

So i changed all the plastics over today. And now im left with three which were not on the machine. No idea were they go.

Ive figured out were the big one goes.  But not the others. Checked alot of pictures on the net still no luck.
