Specifically Abra CA Dabra and Spin Out.
A lady called me and asked if I would take a look at her two pins that won't work, so I go over there last night. What I saw was two beautiful examples of mid '70s pins! Although they do need cleaned and new rubber, for sure. Both have a coin up mod that constitutes of a old- style door bell type switch mounted on the side of the cabs. So she turns them on, and:
Both games light up, Spin Out fully, but only the back box of the ACD.
On the ACD when the door bell is pushed, game tries to reset; I have observed the score motor in the bottom of the cab turn once, but the credit reel nor the score reel change. No blown fuses, and the voltage coming from the transformer is proper. Also I switched out the playfield light fuse for a known good one and still no lights.
It seems to me that something may be stuck to cause the score not to reset? I have spent a lot time reading this site: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#top and wow, there are many things that can go arwy...
The Spin Out does nothing but light up, and I haven't looked into it much yet, like to get the other one fixed first.
I have ordered tune up kits for both of them, and look forward to giving them the love they deserve.
Any ideas?
