My TAF has writing all over the playfield that says NO EOS!!! The end of stroke switches are missing on all 4 flippers, the wires are wrapped up, and the CPU board was "Modified". I'd like to put it back, but I need to know how these wires go. Any pictures of all four flippers from the bottom would help. I should be able to figure the pin-outs, but I'd like to see how it's wired properly.

I'm planning to replace the CPU board as well.

PM me and I'll send my e-mail addy if you can help.

Thanks,

Hey Al. Just about to break this thing down for a playfield replacement. Hope these pics help.

Thanks for the pics, knowing that there are two wires to two of the switches helps. I appreciate it! I might still need help if the wires are cut at the other end. I'm really surprised how much time was put into tricking the CPU board into thinking it didn't need the switches. The game is late production so I'm thinking it was a field hack. The Rotton Dog CPU that's been sitting on the shelf for 3 years will finally get put to use!

Your switch matrix in the manual, the far right column, has the EOS points. No diodes on them and wire colors there.

This game is fliptronics, so EOS points are open when flipper is in the rest position.

I ordered the PINLED fliptronics board from Germany. I'm a huge Rottondog fan but his board isn't directly Fliptronics 1 compatible. I'm going to wire everything like the pictures and check continuity to the other end and I should be good to go when the board gets here.
