I'm having a problem with the boiler door on my Freddy Pin. I've read the thread about repairing it, and I can't get it to help. I ran through the test mode and put to the setting the door should be fully up, and adjusted the bar underneith so the door was completely up.

However, the game does the same thing every time. Upon starting the game, the door lowers, then closes and stays closed the entire game and wont open.

When you start a 2nd game, the door lowers, goes up, and comes down, then stays down the entire game and will not go back up. (Until you restart the machine.)

Can anyone help me?
 
I checked the optical switch, it is working fine, i get points / noises whenever i roll a ball by it. I checked both micro switches on test mode, and are firing correctly. The motor never even activates during a game.. it just raises and lowers upon start, and stays wherever it ends up for the whole game... Anyone know whats going on?
 
As the boiler lowers, under the play field there is a switch to tell the game the position of the boiler, that's probably your culprit.
 
I'll try adjusting it again.

Also, the ball does not always shoot out of freddys head. I've read there is a plunger tip/key that locks it on.. These are missing on my machine, does someone know where I could buy these?
 
Switch 80 is an optical switch inside Freddy's head. Check and make sure that switch works if the ball isn't being kicked.

Also, look at switch 34 named "bottom motor stop" for the issue with the boiler door.
 
It repeatedly tries to kick the ball out, but it only makes it 10% of the time. Can you take a picture of the kick out piece? I am pretty sure something is missing on the end of mine, but I have no idea what / where to find it. I've searched google for a long time.. Thanks!
 
Alright, I was able to find the plunger tip / key, and it is on order. I'll try to mess with the boiler door again today.
