Excuse the noob questions but I am very new to EM games. I just picked up a Haunted house Em and I can get the sound working, looks like power to everything put the game wont "star up" until I click a button inside the coin door (not coin up). Once I do that it will start ruuning and the low motor controlling the cats and witch move slowly and then stop but it does sound like the motor is running inside. If I press the "3rd speed" the bottom motor track starts moving but ends up sticking in a certain area. If I utilize the "4th speed" then it powers through back and forth with no issue but the cats and witch do not engage or detract. The middle moster motor seems like it is going but he doesnt move.

I know I described a few issues but just need some guidence where to start.

Thanks in advance for your help
 
Ok so the push button issue was just a stupid mistake on my part as I didnt realize theer was a button on the coin door you press after you put in your money. I fixed the bottom monster by taking apart the gears and noticing a cotter pin was missing. Replaced now is working but I have th emonster lined up wrong as he is sidesways when moving.

The problems I still need to fix are:

Wich and catd do not move and drive assembly doesnt work unless prompted 3rd or 4th speed.
 
cleaning!! Something needs to be cleaned on the motor that runs the monsters.. either that or something is slipping/not grabbing so to say on the motor.. DO NOT LUBICATE anything.. Ive found out that just taking everything apart and cleaning it makes these machines run...

another thing that i found on the Haunted House which could stop them is that the harness on the right side sometimes BLOCKS the motor from making its final pass, that could be your problem to. check that also..

watch this video... this guy explains everything you need to know about the workings of this machine.. (i wish he made videos like this for all the EM rifle games..lololol)

Haunted House is a great EM gun game. Thanks for posting the vid. I agree with Luckyman no lubrication. Take your time, tear down the step units, clean off the oil with alcohol.

Early on the techs oiled everything thinking that it would never sieze up. 40 years later it turned into glue.

Good luck with this cool gun game!
