Hey, All....

The only lamp socket acting up on my 1995 Gottlieb Big Hurt machine is lamp #L10 which 8anthe "shoot the gap when lit" lamp. It tests fine during test mode, and doesn't light up during attract mode, but whenever I start an actual game, the light stays lit.

Also, all switches test normal during testing mode, and I recently replaced the driver board - so all of that should be groovy.

I did notice, however, that it IS a 26426-1 lamp socket with a diode on it.... Would that leiciede) provide a clue as to why it's acting up? I wonder if the diode could be acting wonky....

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.... The ONLY two lamps that's DON'T light during the test are the 2 rear right ramp lights (try saying THAT 3 times fast) in the far back of the playfield.... I can't even figure out how to access them to see if they're missing or blown.

Could a simple pulled or burned out bulb cause havoc on a lamp matrix, or does it take more than that?

Thank you!

I'll try and check those bulbs soon....

Thanks, I'll read up...

Here's a snippet from the manual, by the way...
