no offers below starting/or buy it now price!!!!!!!!!
no p/pal on collected items

will px with old working one arm bandits/mk1 r/chopper bike/original flickball/jennings[within ebays rules obv]
/THE RED LONG THIN LIGHT SEEN ON SCOREBOARD IS REFLECTION FROM A NEON MOVING SIGN!!/
i only bought this couple days before xmas day! [22nd]
i & seller used it for couple games only!
its still remains in kitchen where myself and seller helped put it!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
the seller had some inner board [mpu] replaced at over £400, plus a new small power supply board [old original one inc and works!
and im sure said,fitted some rubbers
this machine i gave 2600!!! [can prove] for it and had it deliv! and have receipt/ see photo
after seller went/i came back after having cup coffee,powered it back up,pressed cdt button,music started playing..playfield all lit up..but ball wouldnt come out..????
[seller did say if ball doesnt come out check fuse/didnt catch on why he said that]
i checked couple fuses [2 each side of underboard] ..still the same!
they werent blown- 2A one side 1A on the otherside.
im housebound and no idea how to fix or who would.
to a pinball boff this should be easy fix but i dont know where to start,other than check fuses.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
so the :-
machine powers up.
cdt button still works and with acceptance sound.[small red button inside coin door]
all the lights on playfield light up still.
tilt works [underboard one and pendulum one at bottom].
music plays its well known sound [forums say one of the best sounds about] vol adj works.
score board in centre [blue] all displays ok.
the x2 TOP left/right kick ball out kickers work [where switch/lock ball is]place ball in either kicker and it ejects the ball.
all the lights on mpu / power supply boards work.
has both keys, 1 for door lock for access to money area.
and rear key for rear glass lock/release.
[ i cant figure out how you lift up inner playfield and prop it up with inbuilt rod/i forgot!]... i can [at the time], lift it up but rod cant be pulled out of way...so obv im doing it wrong.not tried since nor used machine due to cant move it anywhere yet. [flat is full].
if you know these machines your know what i mean regarding useing rod support/
i couldnt even use it over xmas/boxing day as was bed ridden with my me/cfs ..so gutted there.
and now ball wont come out :-[
someone said POSS might be the photo eye/for ball release .. [photo release??]
or might be something about a trough?
i dont know if theres any hidden fuses that iv not noticed?
im an old fart and i cant keep leaning over the machine,,and waste time if i dont know what im looking for
other than hidden fuse.
theres one on right on new power board,that lights up fine so fuse is ok there.
[if anyone wants to have a look to help repair it so i can keep it please let me know]
to play machine.theres no coin mech ...
just open coin door,press button for as many games as you req.
think coins used wer the older big 10p 50p and round edged £1 coins.
rare machine as i believe only 500 made.
nice compact machine that plays like the full sized ones.
cocktail pinball
night moves
system 80b
not much more i can tell you about it.
barely used!!!
machine is still in small kitchen covered over. :-[

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
pinballinfo [d--o-t]- c-o-m-/ -community/threads/night-moves.18018/ is for alot info on these machines
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
21st jan/ update the x4 fuses under the playfield 2 side by side on each side which im told are for the flippers!? are fine/not blown!
the x2 on left side [useing multi test lead top and bottom of fuse] they are ok and lights up.
but the x2 on the right side dont light up touching top/bottom of the fuses [both fuses themselves are fine]
maybe? this is the fault as to why ball not coming out?
under the playfield theres x2 solonoid type things,if you gently press the right one on/off it makes more playfield lights flash on/off.
if you hold left one on the flippers work.
other than above i cant tell you anymore.
too much info?..just stating all i know as nothing too hide.
