Finally getting around to focus on the Rollergames a bit. Right now the biggest problem is the upper diverter does not work. Here are the details:
- There were all kinds of parts missing that we didn't realize upon first inspection, including the master spring and gate mechanism spring. Going by the manual I can replace everything that we can see as missing, so that's good.
- The drive link was torn to hell on the side nearest the coil. I've looked all over the place and cannot find a replacement so we're going to have to tool one.
- The coil that actuates the arm seems frozen. You can here an "electronic" buzz when it tries to fire in test mode but absolutely no movement. The plunger seems to move fine. There's an old Williams AE 26-1200 coil in there but the manual says it should be an AE 23-800. Can anyone tell me what's in their machine - and does it have diodes? The 26-1200 in there now does not (admittedly I'm trying to see with it installed and the top glass on, but I can't see any).
To make this easy I'm thinking the playfield is probably going to have to come out. The diverter is way up in the back almost underneath the backbox and working on it is incredibly tough. Working on setting up a little room in the basement to handle these kinds of things. Hopefully it's ready to go in a few weeks.
