Hi all, in July of last year I bought a non-functioning Bally Captain Fantastic Home Model. After a long time and a lot of help/references on this site, the machine is in near-working condition again. I sent the PSU and MPU boards off to John Robertson (A huge help in this process), and when they returned and I put them in, the machine seems to work, and you can start a game and it runs mostly fine. The only issues left seem fairly minor, so I figured I'd check to see if anyone on here had any knowledge. The bottom 2 slingshot kickers near the flippers don't work, the one on the left never kicks, but one triggered you still get points, and the one on the right will occasionally kick when triggered, but will always give you points. This issue I could honestly overlook probably, but the main issue left is the score display. When it's in test mode, the display runs through all the digits and give the "good" readout, and when you press the start button in play mode, the display reads out 0 on all of the panels. However, as soon as you get a point, the far left number turns off, and the second to left gets stuck on 8 most of the time, but you can barely tell it's a different number, as the entire digit is dimly lit, and the actual number is a little brighter if that makes sense? I don't really know how to fix either of these issues, and I'd appreciate any assistance. Thank you all so much!
