The speaker that comes with these is literally like a 16oz solo cup with a 1 1/2' little speaker riveted to it.

Interesting to see that in the 2nd series of the home models that bally went with spoon leafs and wisely ditched trying to use micro switches on the pops. Just look at what that poor coil and sleeve went through above.īoth pop bumpers rebuilt with new coils, sleeves, rod & rings and skirts. I knew there was a bad transistor on the mpu since one of the pop bumpers had the wires pulled from the coil and the same pop was completely seized. The 2 10,000uf's are installed in parallel to achieve the stock value of 20,000uf for that position. Had the larger caps on hand and put them to use, yeah not the same package as the originals, but meh it's a damn cap. Rebuilt the power supply with all new caps, voltage regs and some diodes.

Started with getting flippers rebuilt with new coil sleeves, end of strokes, flipper leafs, rubbers and setting them at the proper angle. Play a quick game and quickly identify all the play field issues and pick up a bunch of needed parts. Pooped the mpu in the game, board boots and BOOM! ball ejects out. I was able to straighten and clean the legs along with doing quick repairs on the 2 broken ones (I am not the one that melted the socket like that). The whole chip was on an angle with all legs bent and 2 broken off with a massive amount of solder globed on both. Was getting proper readings and it wasn't until I got the mpu on my bench for an inspection and it looked like Harambe tried doing some work on the main cpu. Got it home and set it on some horses in the living room and started with checking all voltages. Made contact with seller who ended up being really cool and in the music biz, we knew common people but our paths have never crossed til now. Did some searches and only saw the pictures on klov and ipdb. This thing popped up on CL and I had no idea there was an Evel Knievel home model, but the one thing I was really intrigued by was the double flippers on one side.
