  try making sure the attract mode button settings is turned on and then pushing the flipper buttons. I think that is the only time Special Force shows the high scores.

  @metalkatt, Can you please check one more thing for me? In the manual there is a Solenoid Expander relay. One side (normaly closed) goes to the Bright Lights and the outhole & knocker. Which color is this wire? (in the right side red cirkel) The other side (normaly open) goes to all the other coils. Which color is that wire?

  So the part number of the assembly that fits the right side of the Fathom play field (3 in line green targets is ASE 3039-4)? I am wondering if the 3 in line assembly from Bally Hot Doggin would fit where the right hand (green) bank goes on Fathom. Anyone have any idea? If the Special Force one fits there it's possibility that it might. I have the potential to get the Hot Doggin one if someone could confirm this.

  "Learner" first pin for someone with little tech knowledge? Post #2 in topic

  Posted over 7 years ago by Nokoro – in Buying and selling advice ‐ Last reply over 7 years ago

  I would buy a cheap SS from the 80s for a few reasons. First, many things will break, both mechanical and electrical, so you will be constantly learning. Second, aside from board problems, the repairs are relatively simple for a beginner. Third, you won't invest much money to learn. My first pin was Special Force, and I bought it for under a grand. I don't think I would have ever had the confidence to buy NIB if I hadn't learned a lot on this starter pin first.

  6803 1A playfield fuse blowing Post #1 in topic

  Posted over 8 years ago by desertT1 – in Tech: Generic ‐ Last reply over 8 years ago

  Hello all. Trying to track down the cause of this issue on a Special Force. Looking at the manual, the coil tests that make the fuse glow/blow make sense. I skip a few tests in the menu because those ones don't do anything to the fuse. The knocker is what finally does it. The coil on the knocker is an A 26-1200, can I get confirmation that is the correct coil? Even so, as you will see, the knocker isn't the only coil that is giving the fuse a hard time. Any help is appreciated. https://youtu.be/1RnRiPf9CHY

As I got older, one of my buddies dads bought a Bally Special Force and that was the game I played the most. My favorite games currently are EBD, Whirlwind and TWD. EBD was made before I was born and Whirlwind I would have only been around 8 years old. So I can appreciate games from all era's.
