Mark = jpinball. I wrote the original post and the followup. I am not from flippers or Stern. I live in a town that starts with J, and I have the biggest pinball collection in town.
By the way does anyone have a link to a site that shows chip logos? I would not like to give this up without finding who LF3 is. Not to mention that it would be handy for future reference.
I was playing with this camera this afternoon. As long as you stay six feet away from your subject, you will probably be okay. Just can't review what you shot right away.
The newest I have is a Data East Simpson's. I have a couple of Sterns also. Simpson's is my favorite, but am currently bringing back a Williams System 6 Blackout back from the dead.
Which ones from Stern? I had to look up Blackout, I didn't even remember that one. I remember the system 6 sound board, though. Had a red toggle switch you could flip and it went "ding ding ding" afterwards. Pretty cool. I had one hooked up to my doorbell and my phone back in the 80's.
Just picked up an Flip Ultra on eBay for 53 bucks. Replace LCD in daughters flip, and then it's on to my next project: Zombie Patrol.
Zombie Patrol is hooking up my new Flip Ultra sans LCD to a battery powered motion sensor. There are too many punks running around with cans of spray paint at night. Let's see, off during the daytime, turn on motion sensor at night, turn on camera for 3 minutes if motion is detected, turn on flashing red LED during daytime if motion was detected the night before. Where do I post to discuss ideas for new projects?
Details: The LCD in the Ultra is the exact same component used in the Mino. There are about a million screws in the Ultra. The bad news is that as I was happily snapping away pix with the digital camera, I did not notice that my SD card was not in the camera. So no Ultra disassembly photos. All components in the Ultra are held in by screws from the front and back, so the circuit board must be removed to gain access to these screws. The front plastic pieces on the Ultra are held in by 8 screws (two are smaller than the rest). Once these are removed the back cover comes off with some convincing.
After experiencing difficulty in getting the Ultra back together after completely removing the board, I decided to forgo further disassembly on the Mino. (This also would have necessitated removing the ribbon connector from the back cover again. )
By the way, my daughter had been using the Mino all week, including a trip to the skating rink, without the LCD. It really was "point and shoot".
