Hello,

I saw that a lot of you are doing a spring clean-up in your parts... May you find anything that goes with a WW topper, please let me know!

Thanks!

Eric

The shroud and decals are widely available in reproduction. Marco also has the motor replacement. If you wish I could take a bunch of pictures and you could refabricate the bracket and motor standoff's and then find a suitable fan.

Just a thought if you come up empty.

Do you think Marco have the best price available?

Sells for $165 ( I assume USD ) + shipping...

Thanks!

Eric

Does that include the motor?

I know Curly at Little Shop of Games sells the shroud with decals for $78 USD. He ships for fair too. USPS for what it actually costs.

I see Marco has the actual fan now too. Only thing I haven't seen of the topper is the bracket then and I am sure it could be readily fabricated.

Marco is around same pricing :

Nope it's not just you. There website calculates rates that are completely out to lunch.

You could try Bay Area as well.

If you go the build up route LMK. I will take pics and measurements so you can build the bracket.

Ouai, ça revient cher hein?! J'avais fait des recherches quand j'ai voulu l'acheter de ton frere, pis c'etait beaucoup au dessus de $200! Pis encore, pas de bracket pour le moteur....
As tu le board qui control le moteur??? Parce que si y est pas là, ça va le prendre...

....pis si le triac board est pas là, je pense que c'est la meme chose que dans CFTBL.....

Tout est là, je m'en suis assuré!

L'opérateur qui avait cette machine à sûrement encore chez-lui le topper de cette machine, mais vous savez comment c'est...



Merci!

Operators have to be one of the laziest group of guys around (just look at the condition they leave games in and you can tell). Chances are the board is there and the topper was taken off as a result of it not fitting at the location or getting destroyed. The reason why the board would survive is because it would take EXTRA WORK to remove it.

Unfortunately if they took it off for the location, it would never make it back on as it just means MORE WORK.

The only saving grace for games is the fact the cabinet is the easiest place to hide mess in. So if it will fit in the cab you might find stuff rolling around in there. It would take an operator an extra few steps to get that item to the garbage or the truck so in some cases it works in our favour.

Just got time to look at this little board...And I may now know why the topper been removed. I always 29 to 30 Volts AC between #1 and #5, so the fan was always ON even when the pinball was in attract mode...!!

So now I assume I'll have to replace the U1 and Q1 on this small board.
U1 = MOC3040 on the board itself but supposed to be MOC3030 if I refer to the book and I see a difference in price between the 2... ( by the way it's the original that is on the board ) Would you recommend to go with a MOC3030 or MOC3040?
Q1 = CEN CO 2201-100 on the part and not mentionned on the schematic, what is the ''correct'' part # for this one?




Anyone could supply those 2 parts or will I have to order them on e-bay or somewhere like this?

Thanks!

Eric
