I picked up a acnc last week and after a few games, the servo fuse blew. It calls for a 3 amp fast blow. I think its the first time a machine I had called for a fast blow fuse. All the 3 amp fuses I have say slow blow on the package or nothing at all as far as fast and slow go. Can I use a 3 amp slow blow? Any input why my fuse could have blown?

Thanks guys, I went on spooky's website and I was not able to find how to set the servos. Where is it on the website?

To update on my servo fuse blowing, I changed the fuse and it blew quickly so started to troubleshoot. The guillotine servo seemed a little tight so I took all that apart (video was very helpful) and reassembled and have played several games without it blowing. Fingers crossed, the game is a blast to play btw.

Frequently when the ball goes behind the drop target to go into crypt multiball, another ball does not go into the shooter lane and launch, effectively ending your game. Any thoughts on why this would happen? Its kinda hard to get this machine dialed in

Thanks, I am hoping my balls are magnetized but going to check the optos as well. Could my potentially magnetized balls cause switch problems with the monster as well?

I think it was the magnetized balls. I played about 6 games and have not had an issue. Even the lower magnet worked properly most of the time. I had already messed with most of the switches and optos. Hopefully I’m all set now. I’m still in the honeymoon stage and I’m talking to the club here but this game is fantastic

So my guillotine stopped working again but it has not blown the fuse. I had taken it apart and had it working again. I am starting to think its a bad servo but it does move freely. What is the name of that servo in utilities mode? Its confusing that it not just called the guillotine.

OK thanks, is this just as good as the original part. I could not seem to find the spooky replacement part anywhere online

I put the new servo in and after making adjustments for hours to get it in the right position it works great now. My only problem is I can’t get the ball to stay on that ramp when I hit it with the upper flipper.? I’ve been making adjustments and nothing seems to be consistent. That skinny little ramp is definitely a bad design, as isbthe guillotine. Any advice on keeping the ball on that ramp?

I did use the video, but I think I had to take that gear off about six times to get it just right. After I hit the backhand shot with the upper flipper onto that ramp it falls when it goes on the wire form about 30% of the time and goes behind the drop target through that hole

It falls off as soon as it goes on the wire form

I have tried adjusting everything and bending the ramp a little I guess I’ll just have to tinker with it a little more

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm working right now but going to take a look later

I am pretty sure I have everything working properly with the guillotine and the servo. Good suggestion on those servos from Amazon. One last problem I have, occasionally when I am playing a game the sound and video will cut out for about a second and then come back on. I can go several games without this happening or it can happen a few times in one game.

My machine has pinstadium atoms on it. Today when I turned on the machine the pinstadium lights were cycling through the different colors instead of just staying on one color and integrating with the game. I did not install them so I am not 100% sure how they work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help, I will look into it after work but one question. To do a reboot, do I us an app from my phone to do this?

Thanks for the help guys I got it all working. I never knew you needed that app until now and I didn’t realize how many different settings you could do on the lighting. I also never realized how dark this machine is without the Pin Stadium‘s. They do look great in acnc

Did all ACNC’s come with a real painted translite? Mine did and I recently got an Ultraman and was a little disappointed to see that it did not.

OK I was actually wrong about Ultraman after taking a better look at it it’s A back glass as well. It’s cool spooky went the extra step. Do new sterns come with a back glass or Translite?

I think you have the upper flipper strength too high as well. There is a sweet spot where the ball barely gets up the ramp and is not going too fast for the backhand shot as well

Hang in there, "If it ain't broke, it ain't a pinball machine" It seems like I had some tweaking to do with every new or newer machine I ever had except mbr. I do think that screw caused chaos but you are near the finish line so don't give up. There is some videos in this thread on how to disassemble the guillotine. I had to and it's easy to do. You probably need a new servo motor or it just needs some tweaking. I would try to do some adjustments to it in the settings menu first but you probably do have to disassemble it.

I know magnetized balls can cause havoc with ACNC as well
