I placed my first big order for the new machines! When it was just the Royal Flush, PBResource.com had everything I needed, but with these newer ones I went to Marco Specialties to get my parts.
I researched all of the issues with my machines, decided on what could be done, made a big list, added everything to my cart, got to the checkout, and.... lost my confidence. The total was just too high, what with conversion, international shipping, and the taxes + duty prepaid. (TIP: If in Canada, be wary of how your stuff is shipped to you because the "convenience charge" of not having a customs broker is like $65 and is a scandalous USPS/UPS ripoff)
So tonight I broke it down:
List 1 is of things that I need to fix and/or maintain.
List 2 is of things that will make the machines prettier.
So here's what I ended up going for:
For Break Shot:
Rollover switch & bracket assembly kit #A-12688-1 $8.95
Spring - Capcom compression $1.35 #SG-00126
5 x Rubber ring - Black 27/64" or 7/16" OD $0.29 #38-2764B
4 x Rubber sleeve - black 7/8" 545-5009-00 $0.59
that will hopefully allow me to replace the bad rubbers, tighten up the center post, and fix the dead right inline switch.
For Rocky & Bullwinkle
kicker level assembly #515-5016-00 $9.95
spring extension $0.90 #265-5000-00 (to go with the above kicker, in case I muck up the replacement fix)
3 x Foam pad .6 in x .4 in x .25 in $0.23 #626-5069-00
Switch - subminiature with actuator $6.00 #180-5064-01
ROCKY & BULLWINKLE (DE) EPROM ROM0 A1.30 $10.00 #EPROM2198
ROCKY & BULLWINKLE (DE) EPROM B5GameA1.3 $10.00 #EPROM2197
This will allow me to fix the ball drain kicker, replace the standup target pads (btw I have 3 non-standard targets...), fix the Hat Trick switch, and get the game up to the final version of code.
And general parts:
2x Rubber protector 20" long standard $3.95/ea #23-6534
4 x Nut 3/8-16 hex 5/8" flat to flat LLN $0.18 #4422-01117-00
In total $120.70 CAD after conversion, duty, taxes, and shipping.
When I have money enough, I will eventually do a cosmetic order with new decals, plastic guards, LEDs, the Boris button, and a score card.
Here's my log of the progress on my machine:

this is super useful, thank you!
DeleteCan you do me a favour and take a snapshot of your CN2 connector on the power board?
I think I have an extra wire dangling from mine and want to be sure... A yellow extra wire bit is on it, even though that doesn't show in schematics, and it doesn't connect to anything, but not sure if I accidentally jostled something loose.
