PINBALL: Pinball Repair Guides

This site has repair guides on the following:

Repairing EM Flipper Pinball Games
Scope. This document is a repair guide for Electro-Mechanical (EM) pinball games made from 1947 to 1979. No experience in fixing pinballs is assumed. Basic electrical knowledge is helpful, but even that is not necessary. This document should help if you just bought your first (or second, or third) EM pinball "as-is", and brought it home in hopes of fixing it.

Gottlieb Pinball System 80 Fixes
Scope. Includes Gottlieb pinball System 80, 80a, 80b games from Spiderman (1/80) to Bone Busters (8/89). The most popular System 80 games that this information particularly applies to is Black Hole (10/81) and Haunted House (2/82).

Restoring Gottlieb Roto-Target Numbers
Scope. Roto-targets are a spinning target using on Gottlieb pinball machines from the mid-1950's till the mid-1980's. Since the metal pinball hits these targets on the playfield, the ball wears and scratches the painted number on the target. This can make an otherwise nice looking machine look worn and tired. This document will show how to repair this.

Repairing Williams/Bally WPC Pinball Games
Scope. This document is a repair guide for Williams and Bally WPC pinball games made from 1990 (Funhouse) to 1998 (Monster Bash). Little experience in fixing pinballs is assumed. Basic electrical knowledge is helpful, but not necessary. I do assume you can solder and use the basic features of a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) such as measuring voltage and resistance. This document should help if you just bought your first (or second, or third) Williams WPC pinball "as-is", and brought it home in hopes of fixing it.

Repairing Bally Electronic Pinball Games from 1977 to 1985
Scope. This document is a repair guide for Bally electronic pinball games made from 1977 to 1985. Since Stern electronic pinball games use nearly identical electronics, these games are covered too.

Repairing Williams System 11 Pinball
Scope. This document is a repair guide for Williams System 11 pinball games made from 1986 (High Speed) to 1990 (Dr.Dude). Some Bally games from 1988 to 1990 are also included as Williams bought the Bally pinball name in 1988.
