Well, my new Tron LE is having a serious opto problem, for some reason the opto is reading for no reason when the game is playing (randomly) and when you just flip the flipper with no ball in the playfield.
Took it apart and there is no simple alignment, and actually it looks like it is aligned fine and will read fine when nothing else is going.
Hey, I just waited 6 months and dropped a shitload of cash and put 30 games on my Stern before it shit out. At least I got 30 games on it and it wasn't dead out of the box.
Me and a friend went through it for a while, so it's not a straight forward fix, I've been working on them long enough to do simple fixes like adjusting optos and such.. so before you say anything, check it out for yourself. I wish it was something easy.
One thing I did notice is that the metal area going into the disc seems a little bent, perhaps the ball slinging around in there bent it, I used a pair of pliers to adjust it and it worked for about 2 balls, then back to errors. Not sure if it really made a difference or not.. I think not.
Frustrating.
I love Stern!!
