Not sure if anyone is even following...lol
Buuuuuuuut will post through the trouble shooting process:
Zeke #3... the tilt issue. (the keep it simple stupid theory proved correct)
Okay had a few minutes today and nobody has been able to make heads or tails of this... so I wanted to trouble shoot.
Checked the edge connectors to see if the teeth were maybe crossed and touching... no dice.
So I pulled the board to inspect it. I noticed the the tilt mech was bent down, and the pendulum was wrapped in wire... which tells me this issue is over 20 years old. Someone tried to disable the tilt, and it didnt work.
Because I figured it was a short on the board, I start the inspection, and everything looks good. I grab my DMM to test the transistors.
Before I do this, I pull out the manual and decide to look over the schematics to give me a place to start on the board.
I follow the wiring diagram.... the tilt is wired to the "Slam Tilt" on the coin door.
Could it be that frigin simple?
I look at the slam tilt and it is definitely touching itself and bent... but the wires are not connected... hmmmm. No dice????
I find the wires still with the connectors attached twisted together and tucked int the wiring harness on the door... sure enough some of the copper wire from each wire is touching the other.
I bend back the slam tilt so it is not touching, untwist the wires and reconnect them to the posts for the slam tilt and fire her up...
BAM! she boots, credits, and starts to play music!!!!!!
Very cool. all 3 boot, credit, and play music as well as begin games!
I need to test all the switches and put belts in them... so I can then test all the switches... but very happy to be here!!!!
