Lighting & Score Display Problems on Atari Superman.
This past June I purchased ea non-working Superman machine that sat for a few years but looked in great shape. I got it home, put it back together and to my surprise it worked just fine. After some restorative cleaning, new rubbers, play field repairs and bulbs it was 100%. What a great find and a lot of fun to play. BUT...... And there’s always a but; right?
Out of the blue, after a hour of play today, I sprayed the coin mechanisms with “quick drying Electronic Cleaner Spray”. (Did I mention that I’m NEW to this hobby?) Immediately after I sprayed, I noticed the following:
- on the back glass; all four player score displays went dark but the back glass illumination bulbs stayed on.
- under the play field; all lights went dark.
- above the play field; all of the lights stayed on.
- the “test button” behind the coin door does not put the machine in test mode.
So... I have no idea what happened.
I checked the continuity on fuses 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
I didn’t smell anything burning.
If anyone has any basic suggestions to help me debug this problem I would love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance....
