Another month, another show! In February we went to TCXPO, which was a fairly relaxed show for us. But this month, we went big! Fiona and I headed to CollectFest, which we had also attended in August last year. We were setting up a similar activation to last year, a retro arcade including seven pinball machines, a Skill Tester claw machine, and a table with various pinball and arcade related goodies.

This machine was having switch issues. Half of the switches weren't working. Severe corrosion on the CPU board due to battery leakage was to blame. Duraleaks strike again! A new CPU board and connectors were installed and things were back to normal. Great to have Coin-Up Pinball around; an Aussie supplier of these CPU boards. A few other minor repairs and adjustments were also done. The most interesting was a lost ball which had gotten stuck in the ball trough.... it took a little while to find!

New shaker motor installed! An awesome addition to the game which really makes you feel those shots to the crane.
Some of the early SAM system games were made with a shaker motor option available, but the cabinets were not always prepared for installation of the assembly at the factory. As a result, you may need to drill the mounting holes and install tee-nuts so you can bolt the shaker motor into place. Ensure proper alignment and fitment as this is not a mechanism that you want to shake loose!
