Newbie Pinball Owner (Indiana Jones WMS) Questions!
Ok folks,
I just picked up an IJ WMS that I got from a private owner. The story on it is it has been "home use" for about 10 years but after getting it home I can see that this guy pretty much bought it, parked it, played it, and then it sat for about 10 years with NO upkeep at all.
It had some typical light/decal issues, cabinet fade, ground in dirt in the mylar, some completely trashed rubber, some failing ramp switches and the idol multiball lock was broken. All of this can be solved pretty quickly/cheaply, but now I have another problem that is beyond my skillset in diagnosing. This is where I need HELP!
The problem is when I run the test programs, the light tests work, PoA motor/Idol Motor tests work, but the flasher test and the solenoid test don't seem to do ANYTHING AT ALL. They just cycle there in "Running" or sit in "Repeat" and nothing actually happens. The "Test" Report doesn't report anything here so I'm wondering what is going on? Is this expected, or is there something disconnected? What do you guys think!
Also, are there any other IJ Williams owners out there that can share some of the other common issues on the IJ that I should expect or look for?
Thanks!
