So my machine has been having a mid-life crisis it seems as of late. Here are the current issues with it.

Crackling Speakers when just being on. Not even being played you can here some crackling noise in the speakers.

The Rod once lowered will get hung up on the left side. Example is sometimes when th eball is lowered the rod will drop and depending how far down on the left it is it won'r budge up when you press up. what happens is after awhile the machine will call for the bar to raise up and once it does the bar will finally budge up. Not my human controls but by the machine doing so. Then the bar is accessable once it get it out of the position.

The music when the bar is going up or noise that it is suppose to make isn;t present.
 
Cracking noise even when the games is not being played?

Here are some basic things you can try..

If you tap the machine and the noises increase or decrease start looking for loose connectors or loose or cracked header pins.

Sometime the audio cable get close to a rf noise generator like a motor or light fixture and this will cause a noise issue.

Sometimes an audio pot get dirt or grim inside and that will be the cause noise issues. Turning the pot might knock off the grim.

Sometime something on the front side of the amp is failing and that will produces a noise issue.

Sometime a power supply does not provide nice flat DC voltage and this will cause noise in the audio side. Replacing the caps in the power supply normally will take care of this issue.

I hope this helps.
