Hopefully these aren't the questions everyone asks (as I did google for the answers!).
My new Cabaret pacman works great. Before installing the high score save multi kit, I noticed that it was
1) Always in free play
2) The test switch didn't do anything
I've now installed the high score save multi kit and, well, #1 and #2 above haven't changed. I didn't expect it to change, but I'm giving you the background.
I'm trying to figure out why the test switch doesn't work. I see from the schematics that the main PCB provides 5v and the this gets grounded at appropriate times. Using my DMM, I can see the 5v go to 0v when I switch the switch.
FWIW, I can see the 5v -> 0v transition on the tilt switch and the coin up switches.
However, none of them seem to do anything. Does being in free play prevent the coin up from working? Still, that doesn't explain why test mode isn't working.
Thoughts appreciated! I'll continue digging into it.
