Hey Guys,
So I'm having an issue with my upright and was wondering if someone could help me out with a photo of the back of their steering assembly? It seems like I'm now missing the larger central steering encoder wheel, there is a board there, so I believe this had a second larger encoder wheel, the steering responds slightly. But barely, and sadly this part appears to have fallen off and is not in the cabinet. Game used to work, so I believe this just fell off in the move.
-Thanks
 
*Fixed* Hey, thought I would update now that I have a solution. After getting some photos of another upright, a factory upright I realized the second setup and small reader board are likely spares, as there is no secondary steering pot for these. Just the Primary. With that knowledge i put the game into test via the dip, and wanted to see outputs. After seeing that only the right side was reading, but was reading I determined the board must be working to some capacity. Pulled the small board, and reflowed, then re-installed with the expectation of having to re-pin the connector as well. But I did not. Game now works 100%. This was one of our first games for the bar, so though she isn't a looker I didn't want to part out the unit. Now it'll be around for hopefully years more.
 
Next up on my to-do list to restore my Continental Circuit is the steering assembly. I have the wheel and both sensor boards, but I don't have the structure that keeps the center detect in place or the piece of metal that goes through that center detect sensor.
