DANGER ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Pinball machines have high voltages which can cause DANGER TO LIFE AND LIMB. TURN POWER OFF and UNPLUG PINBALL MACHINE prior to installation. Pinball machines are high voltage and can cause electrical shock.
SAFETY GLASSES are also recommended while working with or installing pinball parts.
Please follow these safety instructions as well as all installation instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the pinball machine, accessory or other parts. Please see our Disclaimer for associated risks and responsibilities (Section 13 in our Terms of Service) prior to installation.
Images included in these instructions are of an installed prototype and may vary from your product slightly.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the proper installation of this part, please contact us for assistance.
When removing screws from the playfield, reinstall by first turning them counter-clockwise to match the original groove in order to respect the integrity of the playfield wood.
- Turn off game. Remove glass from playfield.
- If you have gameblades/ art blades, Place the Pinball Cabinet Assembly Protectors on each side of the machine. Next remove the pinballs from the trough. Then lift the playfield into the upright position.
- Next, locate the area that is circled in the image below. This will be the area that the illumination will go. - For those that haven't selected the version with clear drop targets, you can skip to step 20. Please note that these steps use AIQ targets and location.
- Prepare the necessary tools and work space for the installation. You will need the following:
-
- Needle nose pliers
- Small flat head screw driver
- Philips head screw driver
- 1/4" nut driver
- Flat work area, free of parts and clutter
-
- Installation requires the use of target decals from your game. Determine if you want to reuse the decals on the factory targets or use the decals in your game goodie bag (stapled to the inside of your cabinet).
- Turn off your games power, remove the glass and pinballs. Lift the playfield into standing position.
- Locate the target bank on the left side of the playfield. Remove the board connector (shown in photo). You can gently use the small flat head screw driver to help pry the connector off the pins.
- Unplug solenoid wiring harness
- Utilize the 1/4" nut driver to detach target bank mechanism from playfield. Place bank on a workspace, clear from clutter and with amble room.
- Utilize a Philips screwdriver to remove the board from the target bank.
- With the board removed, snap a quick photo of the bank from the side to aid in reassembling the parts in the correct order (a good practice to get into when taking pinball mechanisms apart).
- Beginning with one target, remove the spring attaching the target to the bank.
- Utilize the small flat headed screw driver to carefully pry the c/e clip from the target, holding your and over the clip to ensure it doesn't spring off and become misplaced.
- Remove all parts from first target and place in the following order (this is very helpful for reinstallation):
- Repeat above steps for all three targets.
- Take the target decals (either remove from stock targets or from the goodie bag in your game cabinet) and attach to the replacement targets.
- Install targets, one at a time, beginning with part labeled 1 in the step 11. To reinstall the c/e clip, utilize the needle nose pliers to push the clip back on to the post, using your fingers to guide the clip back into place. Repeat for each target. Reattach springs to each target. Double check your reassembly to the photo taken in step 8.
- Reattach board on top of targets.
- Reattach target bank to playfield, using hex driver. Attach solenoid wiring and board wiring (see photos in step 5 and 6).
- Next, place the target bracket into position. We have circled the area that we recommend, but it can be adjusted in either direction.
- Next, locate the bulb that is circled in the image below. Remove the screw that holds the bulb holder into place. Then remove the bulb from the socket and then replace the removed bulb with the bulb that we provide. Once this has occurred, screw the bulb holder back into position.
- Installation complete! Enjoy your target illumination. If you have ordered an ILS board to work with this modification, then please click here for install instructions.
