Title: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: skipperslittlebuddy on October 24, 2011, 04:49:07 pm Hi.
I was wondering if any members had any expertise on a 1966 Captain Kid Gun arcade machine.I like to get a project for the winter and I thought this was a cool game,and the price was pretty good.I have worked on soda,jukeboxes,arcades,and pinballs.This is my first em game and I'm having some problems I was wondering someone could help me with.The first is a coil underneath the rifle that simulates a recoil in the gun when you pull the trigger.The coil is shot and cant seem to find anyone that has one.Second there are two 7 and 1/2 watt light bulbs in the game that are supposed to come on.I replaced them with new bulbs but they don't work.Third on the right side there is a pirate flag that goes up and down,the motor seems to run,but will not move the flag.Any help would be appreciated.(http://) Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: Kilroy on October 24, 2011, 06:49:28 pm You can try Marvelous Marvin,
http://www.pinrepair.com he runs a pinball museum in South East Michigan, and if he doesn't have answers, he can probably find the people who do. I will have to look, I bought schematics from a store on Ebay, they had hundreds for all sorts of EM machines, I'll look for the name, a schematic goes a long way to troubleshooting Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: pinballdude on October 24, 2011, 10:42:44 pm Google Pinball Resource. They sell coils and lots of pinball parts.
Do not know if they would have whatcha need. Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: davethebirdman on October 25, 2011, 03:23:44 am I can't help you I'm afraid but the game looks very cool. Good luck with the restoration, wish I could be as bold. Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: dr galaga on October 25, 2011, 05:06:56 am Pinball Resource is probably your best bet since they build their own coils. As for the lights, it could be a relay somewhere that had nothing to do with the lights! Get the schematic out and trace the wires. This happened to me on one of my EM pins.

Thanks for the help.I baught the machine for $150.00 and found $13.00 in dimes in the machine when I drilled out the coin lock. Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: flippa on October 25, 2011, 05:05:20 pm Keep the dimes that are older than 1964, they are worth over $2 a piece due to the current price of silver.
If all of the dimes are pre-1964, you got a free machine & actually made money. :tounge: Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: flippa on October 25, 2011, 05:13:12 pm I just checked it on line, and I was wrong.
A pre 1964 dime is worth $2.39 as of today. So.... If the machine was full of all pre-1964 dimes, you made $160.70 after paying for the machine. Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: Creighton on October 25, 2011, 05:58:30 pm Great Game!!
I'm finding with my Speedway it is all in cleaning the contacts. Hope you can find a schematic that is somewhat complete that will help. Good luck and keep us posted!!

in the meantime I found this for you, would look cool framed next to the machine http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Midway-CAPTAIN-KID-Original-Arcade-Rifle-Game-Flyer-No-Reserve-/120799971853?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c203d4a0d And the price is cheap, I see fliers go form 20 -80 bucks Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: skipperslittlebuddy on October 26, 2011, 04:50:14 pm Kilroy.
Sounds like a great idea.I have a Gilligans Island radio on top of my Gilligans Island pinball machine. Title: Re: Captain Kid Gun Arcade Post by: Ltransam on October 26, 2011, 08:01:12 pm These Games Are FUN !! I have a Chicago Coin Twin Rifle Shooting Game . And the GrandKids Love it There Really Not Hard To Fix .But If it's the Coil Sometimes You Can Fix the Coils IF the wire is Broke . |
