Hey all,
I recently bought a 1974 Williams Gulfstream that had been stored outside under a carport for some time. After I got it home and cleaned out the spiders (*shiver*) and fixed a few broken solder joints, the game powered up and all the solenoids kicked in just fine. I was able to get it to play one time, and after the counter hit 1000, I shut it down midgame via the switch since it seemed to work.
After I powered it back on to give it a second playthrough, the machine didn't work. I hit the left flipper button to activate the playfield, the lights all lit up yet the game did nothing else. The counter didn't reset, nothing responded to button presses, the credit switch in the coin door didn't work, nothing except for the lit playfield/back glass.
Given the symptoms above, are there any certain switches I should check/reset to get the game going again?
