Need help on pinball problem
Question from Paulo:Hello.
I’m from Portugal, and I’ve have been recently given a pinball (Lethal Weapon 3) that I’m now starting to restore.
I have a problem that I hope you could help me with.
Could you please check this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_VcO4LgNTI and if you could give any hint as to what the problem might be I would very much appreciate.
The pinball is working – some lights need to be replaced, the sound is OK, the matrix display used to work fine (I have seen it working). The guy that gave the pinball told me that after a few minutes the display used to start working OK (warming up?). But now the pinball is on for hours and nothing on the display.
Thank you in advance for any help that can give me,
Paulo

Response from Jonathan: Paulo,
First off, sorry it has taken us so long to respond. We get a lot of questions and sometimes it’s hard for us to get back to everyone in a timely manner. Please be patient when emailing as we try our best to answer every email.
It sounds like your plasma display on your pinball machine might be going out. More than likely you’ll need to replace it soon. You can get these plasma displays from lots of places here in the states but we don’t know if they will ship to Portugal. Check out the vendors list on the Texas Pinball Festival website: http://www.texaspinball.com/exhibitorlist.htm. Hopefully one of these distributors will be able to ship you the plasma display you need for your game.
We have also featured your question on episode 14 of our podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your issue. Thank you for your question and keep us updated on your progress.
