I picked up a dr dude yesterday. Strange thing. The entire center set of insert lights (5 I think) on 'dude o meter' or whatever are always lit. They are supposed to go on one by one as you progress. Plug to the insert board looks ok (no hacks)...any ideas? Thanks
 
When all of them are lit,you are on Super Dude.They will light until you get the Super Dude Jackpot.After that they(lights) will begin from the bottom ot Dud-o-metter.
 
No it's the jackpot feature of that game if I remember right. The jackpot keeps growing lighting those lights until you collect it and it starts over, but it is held over from game to game. Similar to the Jackpot on Taxi and the Solar Value on Pinbot.
 
You probably have a bad transistor on the board. Check your schematics and check if the lamp row is on the same matrix.

If they are, a bad transistor would cause all lights to be on all the time instead of only coming on when activated.

Ah ok. Thanks. Not sure I'm up to the task of fixing that but at least I can try and track down the issue. Thanks
 
There is nothing wrong with your Dude. it can do that. The dude meter holds over each level cpmpleted on all subsequent games until you get super dude. then it starts all over again with no lights. then follow the drill, mag personality, gift o gab and the heart of rock

Really?

Take off the playfield glass and play a game with your hands. Hit the heart of rock n roll 3 times, throw the ball at the gift of gab 3 times, and throw the ball at the magnetic personality 3 times. Now, throw the ball up the ramp into the Mixmaster, once out throw the ball at the Ray. This will accomplish "Super Dude" and start multiball. Launch the second ball to start multiball. In multiball, keep throwing the balls up the ramp into the mixmaster until you get enough hits to score a jackpot. Now throw one ball into the outhole. The lights should be out.
 
That's what I said in my first post-get the Jackpot and everything wiill be ok.Learn the rules firts:)

I'm not sure you read my post fully. I understand how the meter and jackpot works. What I am asking is does the meter really not reset after each game. So if a player gets almost to the top and then drains the ball, game over, the next player starts where the previous player left off?
 
Every System 11 with a progressive Jackpot is like this. It will stay maxed out until somebody scores it - that means it doesn't reset from game to game.
