Welcome to the Cue Ball Wizard owner's club! It's very exclusive, not many are privileged to own such a fine piece of Gottlieb engineering! On page 56 of the manual, it says F27 2A slo-blo is for the ball shooter. I believe this is a 50v solenoid line.

If the fuse is good. I'm not familar with the game, but there must be a switch that tells it to shoot. Check that first. Then make sure the coil is good: wire isn't off etc. If still no luck might be the transistor.

So...... What was it?

I was just about to ask the same thing?

Apologies if I've missed it elsewhere in this thread, but just where is F27 located? I can easily find the fuses on the main power supply and under the playfield up to F26, but can't find F27!

Help?

Bringing this old thread to life. Helping a friend with same problem...Someone let me know if the cue ball has its own fuse and where is it...

Thanks

I have the same problem. Fuse is good. Mosfet was bad, but I replaced it. I checked the ground from the fuse and it is grounded. Solenoid is good, it is not getting any power, during the game or in test mode. Anyone have any other ideas I could explore?

Hi Guys,
Yes the 8 ball shooter has it's own fuse, it's F27 and it is near the prop rod hole closest to the front of the playfield. F27 is the only fuse that is all by itself. It is all the way to your right by the edge of the underside of the playfield. It is kind of hidden behind a bundle of wires so you might have to move the bundle a little to get to it and or see it. I'm sure I do not have to remind you guys to unplug the machine. Also, I had the same issue when I first got my CBW, the 8 ball shooter coil (coil # 19300) started smoking and melted to the shooter assembly. It turned out the Driver board transistor was fried.
I think it was Q10 if I remember correctly. Try to find Q10 on the driver board and see if it is fried. Anyhow, I ended driving up to Steve Young at PB Resource and purchased a new driver board for about 90 bux. So far so good with blowing a fuse once in 3 months.

Anyone have any more ideas for this problem? I cant find a Q10 on the driver board and hope that someone has found a solution.

I am missing the 8 ball and the lower play field wire that hold the ball in the top part of the game. Does anyone know where I could get one? I have try on Marco but they don't have it.

My local game store has one of these machines, and the 8 ball won't shoot because the F27 fuse always blows very quickly. Any idea what causes the fuse to blow repeatedly? I didn't see that addressed earlier in the thread, thank you!

Anyone know how to reset the high scores on CBW? Just brought one home and we want to start fresh. Instruction manual is kind of confusing.
