Been working on this one for hours now, and out of ideas.
Having trouble getting the car to stop "flipping".
It's stuck in crash mode, even though the car is off the track.
It initiates play with the under-track opto/crash unit unplugged, (scores, steers,accelerates, etc.),so I
feel confident it has something to do with that unit.
I checked to make sure the bulbs on the crash unit, that light as a car/player's car
line up, aren't stuck on or something. They are not.
Plug in crash unit, car starts flipping instantly.
Unplug crash unit, game plays(without hits registering of course).
Unplug crash unit, steer car onto track, position belts so no cars over optos, plug in crash unit, car instantly starts flip cycle, and moves off of track, and continues flipping.
The crash unit lights never even have time to come on due to a crash.
There are 4 interchangeable boards for steering features, etc., on the game. I swapped them all around also. Nothing.
Obvious connector reseating, etc.
Swapped relays around, etc. didn't help.
Game worked fine, but it has sat for a few months.
Thanks for any tips,
Dan
