I decided to try it again before I started testing things. I turned it on and coined it up even though its set for free play and it coined up I hit start and everything worked fine.
It has sound issues too, after a few min of play the sound cuts out completely. So after I played a game I turned it off and back on now it won't coin up, I can hear what sounds like a solenoid kicking on and off a bunch of times like its trying to kick the ball out.
Now im really confused. It sounds like a deeper more complex problem, I guess thats how my luck goes.
I tried doing some of diagnostic tests but the buttons on the coin door dont do anything so ive got to get my meter and see if they are working... Thanks for any help.
