So I'm bringing Captain Hook back to life. The MPU had a corroded socket and EPROM that I had to replace and that got it to boot.

Now it has a few switches that aren't working. I'm looking into the issue, but for now here's a video of the problem.

Here's a few quick pics taken after I got it home.

Yeah it really is in pretty nice shape. Some peel on the backglass, but compared to the Agents 777 I have this is much nicer.

Ok, back to the switches.

In the video, the number 3 target switch isn't working. Looking at the switch there's a tab missing wires.

Normally, they've broken off and are just hanging there, but not this time. There's no loose wires to be found, so where are they?

According to the schematics they should be Red-Violet wires.

I start looking for Red-Violet wires and..........whoop, found em!

They're attached to...........the #1 drop target lamp socket? WTF??? Notice in the video the #1 lamp is not working.

Ok, I removed the Red-Violet pair from the lamp socket and reattached them to the drop target switch.

But now, where's the wire for the lamp socket? Again, I don't see anything loose and hanging around, so where is it?

The schematics show a Brown-Violet wire on the #1 lamp socket.

Looking around now for a Brown-Violet wire and................found it!

It's soldered onto the #2 drop target lamp socket. But it wasn't just tacked onto the tab, someone intentionally removed the #2 wire, wound them together, then soldered them back on. WTF???

Removed the Brown-Violet wire and resoldered it to the #1 drop lamp socket.

Now the switch and the lamps work properly. This also fixed the "B" lane switch and the "N" drop target switch.

This video shows the results. Also, note the background sound is working after the fix, it didn't work before.

I found one more non-working lamp, the spinner lamp. Looking at the socket it never had a buss wire attached to it, EVER!! How did this pass QC?

The #3 drop switch looked like a break or cut. The others looked clean, but I don't know if they were that way from the factory.

I just find it hard to believe they could've let the game go out the door like that. Neither bank of drop targets worked so it wouldn't be any fun.

Here's a video with a description of the ruleset and gameplay.

And another video where you will hear the best extra ball sound in all of early solid state pinball (2:10 mark).

Here you go...

Might be a better question for @pinballj. Did you see his collection??? Wow!

Anyway, for me it would be:
1) Cyclopes
2) Captain Hook
3) Andromeda
4) Attila the Hun
5) Sharpshooter
6) Coney Island
7) Agents 777

I'm kinda hard on A777 because of the scoring imbalance, and the fact that mine is in dire need of tuning. Lizard should be in there somewhere too, but I haven't played one since the 80's so I don't remember much about it.
