I'm helping a local operator in fixing his candy crane. It's from S&B.
First, the minor issue is that the crane doesn't boot unless you allow it to sit off for 5-10 seconds. If you flip the power within the coin door off then on the lights will come up but no display or motion from the claw.
However, the main issue is that the game dies whenever the claw is used. It will either happen when the claw drops and shuts (leaving it extended) or as soon as the claw retracts to the top. The lights stay on but all motion and display dies on the game. It never goes to home position and drops the candy.
I shot the following video showing the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buRQgmo3Xvk&list=UU4svzv0wR7yJXaqetybB1Uw&index=1
If you can suggest any areas to look and check it would be most appreciated. I've put in a lot of hours trying to diagnose so far, but am obviously missing something.
