I'm gonna give Namco and Happ a call today, but was wondering if anyone here has ever worked on a Dino Bonk before. I knew it was going to be something of a maintenance nightmare, but this is ridiculous lol
the optic boards that go in the Dinos, the one that's acting up (out of 5) is a totally different board from the others, but I tried to match up the locations the wires are supposed to go in relation to the similar spots of the other boards. it keeps registering as a "hit" even though the bar isn't passing through the optics. the wires broke off the solder pads, I had to redo them.
whoever did the wiring work in this machine was a total arsehole, with my luck they just have the wires hooked to the wrong places.
the second part of my inquiry is how similar is Dino Bonk to the earlier Wacky Gator? do they share the same parts? (the optics, the plastic "tongues"?)
the top mouth part that you hit rubs on the plastic tongue part on one of the Dinos.... I hate this shit. lol
I hope Namco still carries parts. anyone have any experiences to share with me about them?
