Wms Terminator II
THE HUNT IS ON ...
Metal Ball Run
Lee Christoff erson
Harbor Amusements, Inc.

PROBLEM
In reference to Terminator II, and the blue rubber
pads at the end of the metal ball runs that fall off.
I don't think any glue will hold them on very long.
... For Your New Coin-op Customers!
Let STAR*TECHJournal'sMasterMail List help
you search for new customers. The List has
just been cleaned and is now available for
your rental order.
SOLUTION
What I did to ours is this: I went to a Dodge
dealership and purchased a door stop bumper part
number MB133590 at a cost of70 cents and used it
as a replacement for the blue pads.
This is the most accurate and comprehen-
sive mail list in the Coin-op Industry. All names
not responding to one of our mailings in the
last two years have been eliminated.
PROCEDURE
Installation takes about 20 minutes.
• When you are facing the machine as a player
would, remove the wireform on the right side by
removing the 5/16 nylon locknut by holding the post
shaft with a small 1/4 inch open end wrench and
unscrew the locknut with a 5/16 open end. Be
careful during this stage so as not to scratch any
plastics. • Carefully remove the wireform to raise
it from theplayfield to work on it.• Using a cordless
drill, drill a hole in the plate and remove any metal
burrs. This is important to prolong the life of the
rubber as the burrs will cut into the rubber after
time due to the impacting ball. • Pull the rubber
through the hole & replace the wireform. • On the
left side remove the wireform mount as earlier
stated & also the phillips screw just above it. •
Again carefully remove the wireform above the
playfield enough to work on it. • Drill a hole, pop in
the door stop and replace the wireform.
CONCLUSION
This is a permanent modification that should last
ten years or until the rubber dries out. I have a T-
2 that is 60 miles from our shop and I have made a
number of service calls for this particular problem,
using double face tape was not the answer. This,
however, has stopped these expensive 120 mile
calls.
