I have a problem with a couple of switches on my Black Pyramid. This is way out of my expertise, I can repair "mechanical" issues but this seems to be more electronic. I actually can not work out any start points from reading the repair guides or the forum.
The 3x roll over drop target "score" does not register
Started as an intermittent problem then became constant.
Replaced the switch and diode
- also swapped diode from 3x to working 2x switch and this switch continued to work
The "I" switch also does not work.
Both of these switches are on the same row of the switch matrix
- saucer and tilt are also on this row and both work.
I have chased the row wire
- 3x is the first switch in the chain, then it goes to "I" switch, then saucer and finally the slam tilt on the play field.
- there is continuity everywhere
Also I have now discovered the self test button on the door does not work.
If anyone can point me in a direction for more reading or can give me some pointers in where to go to from here, I would be most appreciative.
Attached is the switch matrix for the game.
Cheers,
Steven
