This one's been a maintenance nightmare. Mostly lamp issues, but it seems like I replace one part and another goes bad almost immediately afterwards.
Anyway I now have a fully working lamp driver, but now my auxilary lamp driver keeps going thru SCR's. It's mainly the chaser lamps in the backbox that are affected, but it seems like I replace one and then another goes out, and so on and so on. No rhyme or reason, and no pattern that I can see. I've already replaced 4 or 5 SCR's and now looks like at least one more has crapped out. I'm about ready to take the sledgehammer to it and try another auxilary lamp driver. What would you do?
Another minor issue I'm having is that the ball sometimes skips the lock saucer during the ramp shot (about one in every 5 to 10 times). Ive tried tweaking surrouding posts but nothing seems to work. When it does this the game is still playable and still scoring, but the music stops and you lose the MOTA for that shot because the game is still waiting for the ball to enter the lock. Any suggestions here?
