hmmm.....2 problems with a Williams Getaway (high speed 2)

hello
i started to mess around with a williams getaway tonite and i think the machine is having 2 problems.......cant figure them out but i didnt try to hard either because i gotta get up early for work tomarow.....

1. it seems like the balls are not locking for multiball.......i will shoot the ball into the lock when its flashing and it puts it right back into play......

2. when i start a game on it, instead of shooting 1 ball into the plunger lane like normal, it trys to shoot all 3 balls in the plunger lane

maybe these problems are tied together? i havent messed with it too much. the game is in great shape but very very dirty playfield.

any hints? or has anyone else had the same problems?
 
You lock balls for multiball by shooting either the lt orbit or the short loop with the upper rt flipper, stack 3 balls in the rt wire ramp to start multiball

If you are thinking that the kickout on the upper rt should start multiball it only awards multiball as a random award

As far as kicking out balls go into diagnostics and check to see if all the switches in the trough are working correctly
 
I had a similar problem with my shadow way back when. "same electronics"
Constantly was shooting balls out and not playing correctly
Also had a ground short row? whatever it was

Happen just after I inadvertently blew the u20 on the cpu board by working under the game with power on, and I shorted shorted something on a light socket took out the u20 somtimes they are socketed and sometimes not, depends what version of CPU board you have.

Again go into diagnostics and test every switch (with a ball) and coil first

Visit http://www.pinrepair.com/ web site its a great resource


Do you have another board or game to swap cpu's with?
 
i dont think the little post is popping up. that might have something to do with it. ill have to check it better tonite here.....thanks for the help guys. i wanna get this thing going right because it looks fun to play.....its all in pretty decent shape but its just dirty all over
 
If that post isn't coming up that is 100 percent everything to do with it. That's how the ball's are held for lock otherwise they will just fly right on through to the shooter lane without stopping...
