My customer says that when he selects the 1st Doctor Who guy it shows the 7th Doctor Who on the display and when he selects the 7th Doctor Who it shows the first Doctor Who.


Any advice?
 
I have all of about 5 games on my DW. I'm wondering if the 7th Dr would be like a wizard mode..for completing all the Drs. Thus maybe you can't 'start' at the 7th?

Think I'll check out the rule sheet
 
Nah, all Doctors are selectable from the beginning. So he's saying the DMD pic of the 7th Doc is switched with the light of the 1st Doc, and visa versa? Weird. Which ruleset is applied: the lit one or the DMD displayed?
 
Holy sheit..that's gotta be the craziest rule sheet I've read. Hopefully it'll make more sense once I get a few games on it.

On a side note...it's pretty obviously that the 7th Dr. is most important...but I didn't see anything that said you couldn't chose him at the beginning of a ball.

I checked the ROM revs also. Pretty amazing...only one update...and it was to fix 'Minor preset adjustment changes for France and Germany.'

Remember those days of pinball machines having finished code when they were released...
 
Kinda weird - I'd bet that there is a problem with the light bar. Have him pick Dr. 1 on the DMD and hit the escape targets on the right side. With Dr. 1 selected, he should light 2 letters for every one hit. If that's the case, the lightbar under the DMD is wrong. Probably crossed wires someplace. If not, possibly an in-line diode is bad. Use the built-in diagnostics and confirm that the wiring wasn't messed with. I've seen stuff like this a lot!

Good Luck!
