Q: Odd Pop Bumper Switch Setup

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

During shopping out my Banzai Runs, I have noticed an odd pop bumper switch
setup. In addition to the normal skirt switch that closed when the ball is
on the skirt, there is another switch that closes when the rod and ring is
in the down position when pulled in from the coil. Also, there is a
capacitor, resistor and diode connected to the switches as well.

What's up with the extra switch and the components connected to the switch
stacks???

Yeah, on older games the skirt switch fires the solenoid, and the wafer
switch scores and sounds. Dunno about BRun.

Those are the switches that score points!

These are in the Special Solenoid section.

Early Rev 11 games don't drive the special
section from the CPU, either.

Mike,
Just a quick thought, place a piece of paper between the two contacts in
question and the press the skirt to see what happens and what
does'nt......That would tell ya. I'm thinking its either for the sounds, or
scoring. One of the two.
