data east

I wasn’t expecting to be selling this so soon, however I’ve got an opportunity to buy a JP Pro that I’m currently borrowing, and unfortunately need to sell POTO to raise the rest of the funds. I’ve literally just cleaned and waxed the top side, cleaned plastics, re-rubbered (perfect play)...

Hi there, Im new to this and would like to get a first machine for home. Im looking to get a project machine as my budget is low (~2.5-2.8k) and I happen to have access to both the test rigs for pretty much any Pinball table that was released in the UK and the experience of my father who has...

Hi All! Bought on here back in 2015 I’ve made the tough decision to sell my lovely pin! Other hobbies and the need for space are my only reasons for selling. I’ll be sad to see it go but the time has come! After much use it needed a service including a replacement board which was carried out...

Always fancied owning a Star Wars machine. Not fussed which one. Stern, Data East or Sega. Couldn't care much for any bling, playability and reliability is the most important criteria. Message me if you have or possibly would consider selling in the future. 👍

Ive been asked to restore an all-original Star Wars thats been in storage for nearly 20 years ... the backglass paint seems to have separated from the glass in places and I wondered if there are any techniques to restore it? The only other threads I can see on bubbling are translites, where the...

Hey Guys, Since there aren't that many DIY pinball topics here yet, i'd thought it might be nice to share mine here as well. I hope it can inspire some of you :) I've started with this project over a year ago. My first goal was to make a simple working playfield with 2 flippers and 2...

Hi all👍🏼 Was hanging onto this ‘just in case’ however I’ve decided to sell to part fund a new colorDMD that I would make more use of 😎 Rottendog Driver Board - MPU004 / MPU011C - For Data East and Williams system 11C games. Includes the MPU011A daughter board to run system 11A and 11B games...

I'm looking for advice on what machines I can purchase currently with £1500? Ideally from 90s-present

Hi So after 8 years of playing my data east star wars pinball machine (1992) I finally have a problem with it 😥. The launcher has stopped working ie the solenoid isn't firing the ball. I've no idea if this is a common fault or not. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Don't know what PIN2DMD is? The full story and details can be found here: https://pin2dmd.com/ - the headline however, is that it is an opensource - non-for-profit colour DMD product for both real and virtual pinball machines. As it is opensource - people are free to contribute to content...

Morning guys, A friend was over playing my DE Star Wars the other night when all of a sudden a lot of the coils stopped working. I turned it off and we played something else and the next day I had a closer look. The trough, all three bumpers, R2-D2's up/down dance, the knocker and a few other...

Evening All, My DESW has an audible buzz / hum. I'm aware that this is fairly common for Data East games, my previous DESW had it and this one has it too but is more prominent. Is anyone aware of anything I could do to fix / improve it? Any troubleshooting tips? As always many thanks.

Hi Guys, TOTAL SOLDERING Novice JACKASS here ... Please help, I'm pulling my hair out.... I had problems with game restarting and a CN1 burnt plug. So I've replaced the CN1 SOCKET *1* First had no slingshots and bumpers Removed board and fiddled checking things..... and fixed them *2*...

Hi there, I've completed work on this project, now looking to sell. Improvements: - ColorDMD installed - NoFlix LED Kit installed - Rottendog MPU board installed Issues (can fix these on request): - Some of the exterior cabinet black metal needs a repaint - The rest of the cabinet could do...

Bought these both in error so they are unused Data East/Stern Dot Matrix driver Board by Rottendog - £120 posted Data East 520-5050-00 / 520-5050-01 / 520-5050-02 Sound Board (can flash ROMs for your game) - £135 posted I also have a broken DMD for sale if anyone wants it for testing purposes.

Starting to give up on repairing the Sound Board of my Star Wars 520-5050-00 Does anyone have a spare or an replacement upgrade like pinsound? Thanks!

Hi all! Been trying to get this sound board going. All I get is a kind of air/static sound from the speakers that can be made softer and louder with the volume pot. I believe the board was pulled from a LW3 and I'm fitting it onto a star wars. I have burned the right EPROM sizes for U17 and U21...

I've ordered a rottendog dmd driver board for my star wars data east. Just wanted to know which EPROM i need to buy to flash as the display ROM. I have my own programmer just need to know which chip. Thanks!

Looking to pay less than £80 for one if possible. Bonus for the ribbon cables for the 14 pin and 26 pin ribbon cables!

Doing a full refurb on a Star Wars DE and missing a few parts: - Dot Matrix Driver Board 520-5055-00 - CPU / MPU board 520-5003-03 - DMD 520-5052-00 (or a Color one!) - All the ribbon cables! Looking for a deal on multiple of these if possible. Will consider faulty project parts also. Thanks!
