Alright, I finally got all the broken glass out of my game. That's the
good news. Now back to the original problem: Switch 61 (ball trough).
While looking at the trough and the manual I noticed the Black (ground
wire) J1-5 was located instead in J1-3. This isn't the place the
manual says it should be located. So moved the wire to J1-5. Now the
damn pin kicks balls constantly, even in attract mode. So I put a new
connector end on the wire and put it back again in J1-3. Same thing,
kicks balls constantly, even in attract mode. So I put the wire on
J1-5 and this still doesn't correct the problem. I also tried cleaning
the optos on this board along with every other opto on the game (a lot
of them!). So I went to the switch edge test and lo and behold all the
optos are open! I changed the fuse, nothing. I guess I could look for
shorts, but I don't see how this could happen since the game was fine
(everything worked great, except switch 61) up until I switched that
stupid wire (Why oh why must I try to fix things!). I really want to
get this fixed; this game is awesome and I got it for a really good
price (a first for me).
Anybody have any ideas? I have tried google, but maybe I am just not
using the right terminology with my queries.
Thanks in advance,
Rian
