I just picked up an Eight Ball Champ. It is my first 6803 game, so I am not super familiar with the hardware. I noticed that some of my stand-up targets were not registering fast hits. When I lifted the playfield to investigate, I discovered that the target switches had little capacitors connected to them, but it looks like one leg was purposely cut (see photos). I'm guessing the capacitors went bad at some point, so someone cut the leg to make the targets work again. I have a few questions ...

1 - Did these capacitors come installed on the game from the factory, or were they added later?
2 - Would replacing these capacitors with new ones fix my problem?
3 - I need to place an order from Marco. Does anyone have a link to the correct capacitor on their site?

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll grab a bunch of those capacitors from GPE. Based on that diagram, it appears that there are also supposed to be capacitors on the rollover switches. On my game, only one of the three has a capacitor, and like the other switches, one of the legs is cut. I'll replace them all.

A couple quick questions. The capacitors that are currently in my game are Y5P's, and the ones you linked to are Y5V's. What is the difference? Also, the ones in my game say "12V", but the ones at GPE are 100V. Does this matter?

Thanks! I just ordered them.

My right rollover works fine with a slow moving ball, but it often doesn't register a fast moving ball. I'm hoping adding the capacitor will fix this. The order from GPE should be here is a day or two.

It took nearly two weeks, but the capacitors finally arrived today. I put one on every rollover and standup switch, and the game is now working perfectly. Thanks again to everyone for their help!
