well i took game to my friends place and he fixed it quicker than i
thought,he gave me a summary of problems and as i did say will let you
know what happened,this was his below list
"Got some good news for you. Found 5 faults with the Cirqus Voltaire
and
>repaired 3 of them.
>1.Open circuit ground rail to Low power solenoid transistors
>2.Wire broken off solenoid in head box
>3.Open circuit Data bus connection for U7 pin 3
>4.Neon control board not working
>5.Shooter lane switch not working (sounds like it is but no change in
>state.)
>
>Currently all solenoids working fine (Game is playable and passes all
>start up tests)
>
>Remaining faults are:
>4.Neon does not work - looks like a problem with the actual controller
>for the neon itself. To get to it I have to drill out rivets in
plastic.
>Not sure if you want me to proceed with that one.
>5.Shooter lane switch is stuffed. I need a replacement switch. I
suspect
>this is why multi ball doesn't work properly. I've tested wiring for
>switch and its all honkey dorey. Just need new switch and fit it into
>it."
he also repaired broken wires in RINGMASTER
am pretty sure some if not all problems were mentioned in original
replys,but with th exception of neon,everything else is working a
treat.
now some may remember that i had never played CV before as this one was
always out of order and the only one i knew of around here so am very
happy that the gameplay lives up to the artwork which was what first
attracted me to game
i must say that CV is a fabulous game,the more i play it the more i
like it,when friends come around they avoid all other games and head
straight for CV.
that RINGMASTER is an unbelievable feature,in fact its got so many
great features i am astounded that it
was allowed to be "out of order" for so long
plus being an aussie i love the "amazing roonie" video mode
one of the best games ive ever played,absolutely awesome.
so thanks again everyone who previously helped and game is fixed and
being well played by all,
