I recently bought a non-working game from a private owner who had very little info about it. The game powered up but did not run. I troubleshot it and found the boards were bad, so I sent them all out for repair. When I got them back and installed them, I was able to get the game to play, but there are some quirks that I don't know enough about to figure out. Please keep in mind that I know very limited amounts about machines as I just started getting into them.
The issues as they stand.
First, the rollovers at the top, numbered 1-5. If the ball rolls over the number 1, and no lights are lit, it lights up 1 AND 5. Also, if it rolls over 5 and the lights are out, it lights up 1 and 5. Not sure it there's a wire crossed or something.
Second, the right center drop target (labeled B) seems to be switched with the top 2 drop targets in the right bank. Let me explain that. When you hit the B target, it can only be reset by a rollover switched that says "Raises B". The right side bank of 4 resets when all are down. Instead, on my game, if all 4 drop targets are down, only the bottom 2 reset AND the B target resets. The top 2 targets in the bank will only reset if I rollover a switch that "Raises B". It seems like the coils may have been swapped or something, but I'm hesitant to swap them since they are different voltages.
Third, the top left pop bumper doesn't make sound or score.
Fourth, the right slingshot doesn't make sound or score.
Fifth, neither of the right side outlane rollovers work.
Apart from those, everything else scores and sounds. I'm relatively sure I found all the scoring/function issues, as I've been playing the shit out of this game.
Anyways, any knowledge you may have that can help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing most of it is bad switches, but i wanna be sure before I start tinkering around in there.
Thanks!
