Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site and hobby!
I just got my first pinball machine!!! It's a Williams Earthshaker.
I can send you some pics if you want. I'm enjoying playing it very much.
I have few problems though I need your opinions/help with.
In the test (machine is on german language so I don't understand everything, will get a new english ROM next month) it reports switches : 11 and 12 (Ball Through 1 (right) and Ball through 2 (left). It seems that swiches are closed, can you help me find them? Where are they located? (I couldn't figure it out using the manual as they are not labeled on the playfield picture).
Second problem is : when I lock the first ball it says (Ball 1 locked). It stays in the drop hole and as soon as the new ball from the plunger hits any target on playfield - the locked ball kicks out of the hole and I get some kind of 2 ball multiball. I never get a 3 ball multiball no matter what I do.
What could be the problem?
I'm not that technical at all but I don't have access to a service man so I would probably do it myself. I'm hoping it's just a dirty switch or something. Can you guide me through it?
One more noob question - how to lift the playfield? I managed to remove the glass but when I try to lift the playfield it only moves few centimeters and stops. Is there a lock or something?
p.s. the shaker motor seems not to be working too
Thanks a lot guys for any feedback. I'll be able to post pictures and videos if you need them...
