Ok, I might not be posting in the right thread but I can not find one for pinball tech help. There seems to be plenty of arcade game but no tech. Anyway, here is my problem. I just purchased a Sega Golden Eye Pinball machine. I fixed all issues with the exception of the hidden ramp that pops up allowing the ball to jump and hit the satalite. The ramp will pop up during test mode no problem. There is no actual switch for that ramp, its only a coil.. To get the ramp up you must hit a target and then go up a couple ramps. All the lights on the playfield are flashing "Hit the Satalite" but the ramp will not pop up. Any idea's on what I should look at next?

The switch that cues the ramp to pop up is the one in the lane next to the left flipper. The ball needs to get into the left inlane either by itself, or by hitting the left ramp (which feeds to the left inlane).

Make sure that switch is working. Hopefully that's the issue since it's working in test mode.

In this pic -the switch that the ball hits after dropping from the metal ramp.

I think you should just give up and sell it to me for ridicuously low price. LOL.

Seriously though, how do you like the game? As a big Bond fan I always wanted to own one of these machines. But I've never even had a chance to play one.

Think you could put some videos up somewhere? YouTube maybe? There is only one Goldeneye vid on YouTube and its not a very good one.

I planned on making one for my next vid, as I couldn't even find any Goldeneye vids on youtube!

It's a very cool game....Sega's best, IMO. Totally underrated.
 
I remember playing one when it was new and having fun.

There is one just down the street at a putt putt place, but it is beat to crap and is completely unplayable (but still in service). I'd love to buy it dirt cheap and fix it up.
