Great video. Can you tell us where you got the digital service manual? Thanks in advance.
Thanks. I got it on eBay.
Heh. I found Headlight motors for my '86 GT. NEW motors. From basically ANY auto parts store. THEY ARE THE SAME AS A FIREBIRD'S, ONLY OPPOSITE SIDES!!! I've rebuilt sooooo many of these, early and later models, and they aren't bad. Just buy the new ones... Also check the fusible link by the "firewall" if neither are working.
Thank you for that information. I was not aware of that. But you didn’t have to yell. lol
@@LonnyPayneApologies. Just wanted the info to stand out from the rest. I was that excited to share hahahaha. Also, the years of the cars will coincide, might have to splice the connectors.
@@averagejoe6971 It’s odd they don’t market it that way. But if the part number doesn’t match, the world is gonna end. lol
@@LonnyPayne Indeed. i matched up the pics on websites, realized they would work. I emailed the parts distributors to let them know, but who knows if they read it. I used to have an 87 trans am, and worked on earlier ones, so i knew they were the same. My 86 GT is gonna have a 3800 SC pretty soon...... Wish me luck!
My 1984 headlights don't want to go down. Could it be the switches?
I could be the exact same problem with the other switch. If you turn the manual spinner, with they activate and go down?

Great video. I like their quality and ease of install. The directions are easy to follow. They look great on your pin. Good job, thanks for posting this how to.
Thanks for the Intel. lol
Nice install! My only issue with these new LED displays, either pre-made or DIY, is that the width of each display digit/character is thinner than the original gas display characters, and in turn doesn't fill out the entire display window or can't be read as clearly. I personally love the original system 11 alphanumeric displays with their wide width characters. Even replacement LED displays for those don't look nearly as good as the original.
You are correct. I don't replace displays just to replace them but I feel this is a great choice when they finally crap out.
What is the Kent-Moore model number?

Nice video. The LEDs look tons better
Thanks dude.
Great to see you making videos again. I do think you should put a warning in the title about having to see those legs! LOL
😂😂. That’s just a bonus feature of my videos.
Im thinking of trying something extremely similar on my 2000 Jeep XJ. For practice I am first going to use a different used cluster just Incase I make a mistake. The only thing that will be different is aligning the needles, be it turning the gauges on, but not starting the vehicle, then pressing them in. Ill use that tape suggestion (smart) to mark the original positions of some gauge points. Ill use the tape method since that will likely last longer then fluorescent paint that is so often used. Thank you!
Good deal. Let me know how it works.
Maybe a silly question, but how did you put the playfield up like that? I recently got my own JP and fixed a couple of issues it had (no thanks to the seller, but it was very satisfying...had to fix a ball through switch, a melted raptor coil, and some other minor things) but had difficulties reaching the bottom. I Know it's the "right" way I put it as there's the hook that latches, but that way the bottom side of the playfield is very difficult to access. Did you just pull it up or did you modify your cabinet somehow to allow for that? I'd try but I don't want to break anything, I'm tippytoing around it as much as I can since it's my first machine (and of course I got the best pinball machine, JPDE!). Thanks :)
I didn’t modify anything to get the playfield up like that. You just have to be very careful. There are two slide rails on the cabinet. One holds each playfield pivot. As you lift the front of the playfield up a bit, you then pull the playfield forward being very careful to pull it straight towards you. Once the pivots hit the end of those slide brackets, you can tilt the playfield up a little more and it will rest on a set of sliding brackets on the back edge of each side of the playfield. You can keep pulling it towards you until those sliders then hit the edge of the cabinet bracket. Then the entire playfield can be lifted up and rest against the back box. Now after saying all that. There is no protection from the playfield falling off the cabinet brackets and into the floor of the cabinet if you don’t keep the playfield straight. If there is a twist when you lift it it can be dropped. There have been many flipper boards ruined by this. You have to make sure you lift evenly. You also have to let it down evenly. When you are putting it down, the rear sliders will hit the back of the cabinet bracket, some people just push it real hard to “pop” them over and continue sliding the playfield back in. I personally don’t like to jolt my machine like that so I will stand by the side of the machine and hold the front up with one hand and reach under the back of the playfield with the other and just raise it enough to get the slides over the hump and then let it down on the pivots and then move back to the front and finish sliding the playfield back in. Once you do it a few times it’s pretty easy but I can’t stress enough. BE CAREFUL. Keep everything straight and don’t twist. 👍🏻
@@LonnyPayne thanks :) Hopefully I won't have to do that for a while as I fixed a few issues, I hope my trex will keep up his eating habits for a looong time! But it's good to know I can put it that way. I'll ask a second set of hands if ever do that the first times though. Thanks!
You don't have to take the headlight assembly apart.Just 4 bolts holding it in
Your doing it the hard way.
What's the easy way
@@alexalvarado7397 the two lower bolts are in slots so you just loosen them,then remove the two upper bolts and lift out the whole assembly after unplugging the wires
Doesn't seem like my symptoms are covered here, maybe. Right headlight comes up weak. Hood open light up all the way. Hood closed light comes up only half way. Leads to weak motor. But would like to hear what you might suggest. Fiero, 87GT, 29k miles. Some years ago I did replaced the nylon cylinders pieces.
Yeah. Sounds like a weak motor. When the hood is open and the light comes all the way up, does it do it fast or sluggish because it should be pretty fast. I would probably take the mech apart and make sure all the gears are clean and not gummed up and then re lube and see if that makes a difference.
Great video i have to pull mine to diagnose why it dont stop running when it goes up. What does that single wire plug into? I just got the car and both relays were removed. I got new relays but domt see what that single wire goes to.
I’m on the fence about getting one of these. Your dogs look like their having a blast 😂
Very nice would like to make some. Did you make the pcb drawings?
This is the exact problem I’m having. Thank you
Never have thought of doing it in vinyl, very smart!
Great video! Viewers: Just before taping/painting, clean the back of the Pointer with 95% or more Isopropyl Alcohol to remove any finger oils, let dry, then paint/tape. Also, those meter pins are VERY fragile, use steady and straight force when removing and reinserting, if you bend the pin then they are ruined. Only remove and install once - don't pull off or press on more than needed (once) because it can loosen the Pointer's grip on the tiny pin. Take your time, practice in your head and dry run with your hands but don't press the Pointer in until your muscle comes into play to press - then press it down perfectly in one shot. You may have noticed that some gauges can go way off scale during start or from sensor failures. They can get so far off scale they can get stuck. I took tiny pieces of soft black foam rubber and carefully super glued them off scale but before a point where the Pointer can get stuck. The rubber is about 3mm wide and 2mm thick and no taller to where the Pointer will touch it. This give the Pointer a soft stop. Don't use a hard stop like a metal post, inertia from the Pointer stopping so suddenly may cause it move on its pin and thus get out of alignment and give erroneous raedings.

Great review. Im looking forward to you video on sim shaker setup!
It looks like nib
The 50c per play sticker on the Apollo 13 pinball should be fine like that

Thank you for posting the event. Always great to see all the pins visiting north Texas.
It was great to meet you, Lonny. Thanks for giving me so many tips on doing restorations. Your BTTF deserved the win. Beautiful work.
Thank you. Great to meet you and contact me anytime. 👍🏻
Awesome - thanks so much!!! I am building a 3/4 vpin cab and this is really helpful.
Very nice! They turned out great. I was wondering if you would be using the vinyl for that. I know how you like using that material.
Thanks, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I was originally going to paint them but then thought of this and this is so much easier than painting.
4 butt kickers? Are you trying to bring your house down? wtf?
Butt stereo. Lol
This is exactly what I've been needing to see. I have a Earthshaker playfield that needs decal work. Please continue to share. Thanks!
You’re welcome. I will document the entire process.
You said that if you take off in the plane and remember that you forgot to turn on the butt kickers you stop the sim and restart it once you turn the butt kickers on. Curios, shouldn't that be part of your pre-flight check? 😀
Lol. Yes, it should be.

Really enjoying your pinball restoration videos please keep them coming!! Whats the next project
Thank you. This project has a ways to go so not sure about the next one yet. I have a Strange Science, corvette, Gilligan’s Island and a few others still to go.
This thing is gonna be sweet! Can't wait to play a fully functioning 'like new' AP13!
I plan on delivering. :)
As a newbie facing my first inactive switch on my LOTR, I very much appreciate your video! Thank you!
I hope the info helped you out.
@@LonnyPayne Definitely, thanks!
That looks like a $2000 topper...right Stern? LOL Looks good Lonny, nice video.
Thank you sir.
Quit fuckin' around with toppers and get A13 going...
LOL. Well, this entire project took a couple hours, so I don't think it slowed that down too much.
I agree with Cary, you better be ready for TPF..HA!!
Pretty easy fix...very nice..where are the dogs?
Holy hell! No way I would have thought a V8 would fit in a Fireo! Damn, I bet that is fun to drive! I just have this vision in my head of what it will look like when you are done and it looks very similar to the DeLorean from Back to the Future..LOL
It’s a tight fit. Lol I do have some surprises up my sleeve 😎
A friggin' V8?!?! Dang. But an automatic transmission? Nope. I would prefer that car to be manual.
Yes. If I had my choice it would be a manual too. But still fun. :)
Using some novus2 on the plastic too! Lol
Using several pinball techniques and products on it. :)
I've seen the supercharged 3800 motor in one but never seen a V8 Nprthstar in one.. she hauls ass im sure!
She doesn’t sound like any Fiero I’ve ever heard. Definitely has some kick. :)
I wanna ride! I’ll give you a ride in an 8x…
Falcons are a sweet ride.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that still has a love for Fieros.. there is a parked dark blue Fiero GT just down the road and I have been tempted so many times to stop and buy it.. what are they worth these days in good body but not running condition?.. It is such a beautiful car still to this day
Yeah, I was 14 when they came out and always wanted one. I have been driving by a different red one parked in the weeds for 7-8 years. After I bought this one, I actually stopped and looked at that one and talked to the owner's dad about buying it for parts, but the son never got back to me. It's a pretty cool car when you know the history and how they built it. It's a sweet ride.....BUY IT. :)
Looking forward to the new content!
good restoration technique, I liked it. learning here.
Glad to see you back at this one. Looking forward to seeing it at TPF!
Thanks. Not sure it will be ready by then but we will see. Lol
Lonny, do you use Acme FC720 to do your total playfield clear?
Yes. That is what I use. I have been using it for 7-8 years and it has worked great.
@@LonnyPayne Thanks! I've been using SprayMax 2K in a can but am ready to switch to HVLP.
@@damonhuffman6681 Good deal. Please do your research, automotive clear coat is dangerous if you don’t take precautions. I cover some of that in my other videos.
@@LonnyPayne Lonny one last thing. Since we are both in Texas, do you use fast or medium hardener?
I use medium for the majority of my stuff.
Cool channel ....any more Virtual Pinball content on the way?
Thank you. I don’t have anything specific planned but I will be upgrading the computer in it which I plan to cover. I am always open to suggestions if you have something specific.
