Bubbles bubble doesn't wanna float upwards...

Everything else seems to work okay. I don't see any obvious connection issues or problems at the joystick. All other directions are good.

Should I be messing around with ribbon cables / a board & chips instead?

Are you saying the down direction on the joystick doesnt work?

On just that game, or on all games in that cabinet?

Oops, I wasn't specific enough. This is a dedicated Bubbles with the original optical joystick.
 
Noteworthy: the bubble does go up during the demo, but not when you're playing...and yeah, I meant upwards! Oops.

Fixed. Suspect it was ribbon cable going to/from wigit PCB.
 
ha!

see, i know my Wigits :)

Plus, it had the same problem when i inspected it.. just needed a wiggle.. You may want to reflow the solder to each pin on that pcb.. Also, wouldn't hurt to get a new ribbon cable..

Good luck and enjoy that game!

Yeah - I think a new cable will be my next investment on this one. Thanks again for your help!
