GAME: Junkyard

SUBJECT: Wrecking ball wire cable replacement

The wrecking ball on the sample "Junkyard" pinball machines was attached to a wire cable. We have found these to break prematurely. The cable will be replaced by a chain in production. Page 2 of this bulletin is a copy of the instructions you will receive with the chains that replace the cables on your sample games. Please update.

Thank you,
WMS GAMES Parts & Service INC.

Because of a premature failure, the cable (p/n 04-10580.1) on the crane assembly is being replaced with a chain (p/n 04-10744).

1. Turn OFF and unplug the game.

2. Open the coin door. Slide the lever guide assembly to the left. Lift the front molding off of the playfield glass. Slide the playfield glass down until it clears the side grooves and lift it off of the game. Carefully, set the glass aside.

3. Remove the "E"-ring from the front of the crane assembly. Lower the swivel pin and the wrecking ball assembly from the crane. Be careful, do not to lose the washer under the "E"-ring.

4. Cut the wire cable at the wrecking ball and the swivel mount. Discard the wire cable.
   

5. Separate the rings (use a flat washer or a small coin the achieve this). Push the roll pin from the swivel mount between the rings and thread it all the way through to the end of the rings, as you would put a key on a key ring.

6. Do the same with the wrecking ball.

7. Insert the wrecking ball assembly back onto the crane. Replace the washer and the "E"-ring.

8. Replace the playfield glass and front molding. Close and lock the coin door.
