Tracking down some switch issues on PinBot and I believe that there is an issue with my service switches.
Can someone have a look at these pictures and advise?

I bet someone gets back to you first, but I'll compare to mine when I get home from work if this is not answered.

Switch with diode is different then mine. Mine has both greens to bottom right lug. White wire with non banded side of diode on bottom left lug. Banded side of diode to middle right lug. Middle switch on mine has green on top left lug and white on middle left lug. Last switch looks all right except mine is on the left side . Hope this helps.

Thanks slimmer!

If anyone has any second (or third) opinions please send them my way!

I can take a picture of mine when I get home from work today, but I'm sure others will get to it before that.

Left or right side lugs on the center and right switch doesn't matter as long as you have the wires on the same side. Make sure the diode is good on the left side switch otherwise you can have problems.

Darn, that looks complicated from the angles shot.

Looking for some more pictures if possible or anyone who is handy, sketch it out?

Mine looks like Vipers.
Left switch high score reset
Left bottom white wire w gray bands and non banded end of diode
Right center banded end of diode
Right bottom 2 green w brown bands

Center switch auto/manual
Left top blue
Left center white runs to right switch

Right advance
Left center white runs to center switch and another white
Left bottom green

I think that's it!

Hope this is understandable.

Interesting looking at it a bit more. So you've got a white jumper between two switches?

Yes, that is the backup to viper's picture. Tonight I may break out the iron and have me some fun!

Thanks all, I will report back!

I did a quick edit. Dont miss the second white wire on the right switch.

The goal is that when the button is depressed continuity is created between the colored wire and the white wire. Your left button looks kinda goofy with the diode sticking off into space but as long as it is making connection that shouldn't matter. The two green/brown wires, though look like they may not be making connection with each other. If not then they need to both be soldered to the same side or you could run a small jumper wire between the left and right posts like it looks like there is between the middle pair of each switch.

White on the right two is just ground which is why it is jumped from switch to switch. Original wiring probably looks more like the first pic with a long enough jumper it may blend in with the wiring bundle and look like its own wire, but the short jumper like in viper's pic is fine too. The left button is part of the matrix so it needs a diode with band toward the green wire.

All laid out in the cabinet wiring diagram of how it should be:

The red circled areas are the service switches, the blue show which wire colors they are.

Thanks all. Spent some time last night on it. I had to move one green wire from the left switch so it was on the same lug as the other wire. All good now!

Thanks for posting this...turned out my high score reset was disconnected and missing the diode.

Yep, good to have this info handy!
