hey guys going to look at a machine this morning......word is the ball pop up under the troll is not working..........

question; I assume its a burnt coil?.....is this common or is there more that may be wrong causing it not to pop.

I can take a meter, what voltage should be present at the coil to varify signal to the coil.....

thanks for the feedback,

its a home use only machine, but nothing done with it from the day it was setup till now, supposed to be mint, who knows will report back later.....,

in searching value looks like most say 1200 - 1500 not shopped but playing fine ...then throwing in the pop up problem adds a problem sound right to you guys???


peace, B.

Well, you can put it into coil test and see if anything happens...If nothing happens, there is likely no voltage at all...I'd listen to see if the coil hums when its supposed to fire and then see if the mech is jammed up at all.

I'd test the coil with the multi (not sure what he voltage should be) to see if anything is going to it.

I doubt the troll not firing is a big deal...


Not sure on the current value of RCT but I bought my heavily routed one two years ago for $900 and sold it for $1200 maybe? Dont remember.
 
took a few weeks to hammer out the deal, purchased a 1 owner minty HUO game, barely played, needs waxed and rubber stuff from sitting, pop up hole next to the troll tries to kick the ball but it don't come out, sounds like it's hitting it hard but it hangs on the wire loop and falls back down..next summer project had to stash it for the winter...badda bing.

Are you referring to the rocket? The VUK that feeds the yellow habitrail. I think there are 2 different versions. Some of them have a gate so when the ball reaches the top and kicks out to the rail it can't fall back. I don't know if it can be retrofitted or if it would solve your problem. - Barry
 
Hey Barry...dunno, its the drop hole to right of the troll, game is at the cabin and not in front of me, guy claimed the coil was blown, well its not it was trying to kick the ball out but it was hitting something and dropping back in the hole, then it would try and kick it out again...probably a easy tweak.......I hope..lol.

Bizzaro coincidence I noticed last night looking for this thread you drug one home to and the JP...I am done cant fit anymore, I have the RCT, JP, RFM, sadly need to sell the time warp.
