Date: April 6, 2003, preliminary!

 

The other guides inspired this guide and served as a model. Read the Indiana Jones Guide by Garrett Lee to get background information before you undertake a shopping expedition.

 

Feel free to rip off anything you like from this guide.

 

A few notes about getting started. I find that it's easiest for me to just get a bunch of paper cups, write the name of the playfield part I'm working with on the paper cup and then throw all the screws and nuts into that cup. I find that if I have a cup for say the sling shot plastics, when I go to reassemble it's pretty easy to deduce what goes where. Pictures are always a big help. Also, whenever possible put the screw or nut back into the part it came out of.

 

Also, before I begin I lay a while towel in the bottom of the cabinet. When parts drop they are much easier to find.

 

And take plenty of pictures. If you have a digital camera, go overboard, you can always delete them after things are back together.

 

A few specific notes about World Cup Soccer (WCS) – most of the bulbs are #555’s (more than 60!) rather than #44’s AND nearly all the bulbs are easily changed, the only tough one is the one in the top pop-bumper.  So you may decide just to examine the bulbs and replace the ones that are either burnt out or have started “silvering” inside.

 

This is  a very easy game to shop, everything comes out very easily with the exception of the bottom ramp which tends to hang up on the habitrail.

 

Let’s go:

 

1. Raise Playfield and label connectors

 

2. Lower playfield and remove the clear plastic guard behind the light jackpot plastic on the left ramp.

 

3. Raise playfield and remove diverter shaft from the mechanism and lower the playfield and remove the diverter.

 

4. Remove “lock” plastic on left above the mini-playfield – mine had a black rubber sleeve on the middle screw – is this factory?

 

5. Remove the plastic at the very back of the playfield on the wall with the 3 lights with yellow condom covers.

 

6. Remove screws holding the 2 sections of the main ramp together – they’re on the left side above the coin toss mechanism.

 

7. Remove the Jackpot light above the left ramp entrance – hard to fish wires out in the reassembly phase make sure you put the wires back before you put the ramp back.

 

8. Remove the left ramp (main) by taking out all the screws that secure it and fish out the wires.

 

9. Remove the Jackpot light on the right ramp.

 

10. Remove right sling plastic – has metal part riveted to it.

 

11. Remove right nut holding the left spinner and remove the plastic under the left ramp.

 

12. Remove plastic with red dome above the goal.

 

13. Remove the right ramp – FIRST feed wires on left side for switch and light up through the playfield.

 

14. Remove habittrail by remove the Phillips head screws on the top of the rear bracket – don’t try to remove the rear bracket yet – plastics are still blocking screws.

 

15. Remove the covers on the jet bumpers – lower one has clear plastic guard and longer screws.

 

16. Remove plastics around jet bumpers.

 

17. Remove plastics over scoop hole (the TV award)

 

18. Remove plastic above coin toss mechanism.

 

19. Remove the plastic in the upper left corner.

 

20. Remove the goalie goal bracket.

 

21. Remove soccer ball.

 

22. Remove soccer ball plate – just loosen the two hex bolts and pull it off the shaft.

 

23. Remove the plastic under the coin toss.

 

24. Remove the mini-playfield – there are washers on top of the hex posts under the playfield.  Note to get the mini-playfield really clean remove the magnet and the metal ball guides.

 

25. Remove the plastics under the mini-playfield.

 

26. Remove the apron

 

27. Remove the plunger strength metal mechanism.

 

28. Remove the coin toss unit by remove the lock nuts under the playfield plus the 2 screws on the side rails and pull it straight up.  Make sure the whole unit comes up and part of it does not catch under the metal ball guide – if it does, remove the lock nuts of the ball guide and just push the ball guide over to free the coin toss unit.

 

29. Remove the green lane guides above the jet bumpers.

 

30. Remove the top bracket for the habittrail – next to the goal unit.

 

31. Remove metal ball guides and plastic stars and tubes.

 

32. Remove jet bumpers if you feel like it – the only way to really clean the machine thoroughly is to remove these, but if your machine is not that dirty – you can leave them.

 

Notes:

 

When assembling hex posts, but washers on both sides of the plastic, this prevents the post from “digging” into the plastic and enlarging the hole.

 

Hex Standoffs:

1-1/2” along right sling at bottom

2-1/2” along right sling at top, habittrail ramp mounts below this standoff

3-3/8” on right side rail above coin toss mechanism

3-3/8” below bottom jet bumper

2-1/4” on right side rail next to the upper jet bumper

2-1/8” on left side raid above mini-playfield and 2 star posts.

3-3/8” (male-female) – left inlane

 

Right sling has 2 tall posts through the star plastics – 5/8” on left side, top and bottom.

 

Left sling has 1 tall post through the star plastic – 5/16” on bottom.

 

Star post on left inland by “corner” writing on playfield as 5/16” bolt on top.

 

So does the star post above the right outlane.

 

Washers under gate that keep the ball out of the plunger lane.

 

Rubber ring list and chart can be found at: http://pages.prodigy.net/wmgyarmathy/pinball/wcs94/wcsrubr.htm

The only change I had was I used a 1-1/4” at the lower right of “light magna-goal” stand up target on the right side of the playfield.
