It was probably 1980 or so when my parents bought this machine for my sisters and I. The machine and I are now in our early 40s and I recently had the opportunity to move it from my Moms house to mine ( I never had room before). It mostly works but has some issues and now that I have easy access to it I've decided to tackle repairing/restoring. I've been soaking up knowledge here and on other sites, watching vids, etc and am totally fascinated with the tech. That said, I am obviously a noob and have made a few things worse.
Thinks I've done.
1. The credit unit stepper was gummed up pretty good (it took multiple presses to get it to switch from 1 player to 2 player etc. I took it apart and cleaned it according to the guides i've seen. It took me a bit to get it back together (switch was on the wrong side of the pin) and I also ended up adding one wind to the clock spring because it didnt have enough umph to reset.
2. Two fuse holders had cracked clamps. They seemed to work anyway but I replaced them.
3. Took apart and cleaned bonus unit stepper
Things not working
A. Almost all of the playfield lights arent lit. The only one that is lit is the red "Player shoots again" light. However, anytime you contact any of the 300 point rollover switches the lights come on while the switch is energized then go out again.
B. The credit button resets the game as it should to 1 player mode. However, subsequent presses do nothing. I'm sure I messed up something with the credit unit #1 above but I'm not seeing it.
C. The game never ends, it keeps giving you a ball. I did not do anything with the ball count stepper but it was working before I messed with the other stuff.. Maybe one of the above is affecting it?
Any tips or guidance is appreciated. I'm looking forward to learning.
