Some of the best (ie cheapest) parts flyer has hit the web. Good Deal on DMD’s and Bridge Rectifiers. I may have to order myself some…

Subject: Tools really handy if Shopping Pins

Hi all,

Just go a set of IDC Punchdown Tools (.100 & .156) today and these are really handy if shopping Pins.

I had a few IDC Connectors fall off during the removal and
reinstallation of my Machines Wiring Harnesses and used a Screwdriver to put the Wires back in temporarily, it wasn’t nice to say the least so I sourced these Punch Down Tools and they worked great.

I also repunched all the IDC Connectors in my Machine and it tool about 20min to do and nearly all of them were loose.

Just thought I would pass this on as they have helped me out big time.

It’s TIP 36C shorting, leaving the coil indefinitely on, then it gets so hot
it browns the playfield. Those magnets are controlled by a small 3 TIP36C
board just underneath the left flipper. I have an unfinished page about it
here: http://www.txpinball.com/taf_magnet_board_fix.html

In all my Addams Families, for some weird reason it is ALWAYS the left
magnet (by the clouds) shorting, never the other 2, no clue why.
