Hi,have flash Gordon machine with altek main boards and orig refurbished sub boards,(lamp driver ect,,).problem ,when pushing start button game does not start,do not think it is start switch or ball kick out switch.as game was starting a few times and then it wont.is there certain connecting pin on board I should look at.please help.thank you.

Yesterday,it acted up and when I wiggled the diode on start switch ,game started working .today it played one game and then would not start again.i will try following the wires back .thinking of replacing start switch .and then unplugging connector to mpu and cleaning connector.im sure it's something minor as it works a few games then it does not.thanks for info.

Hi,wdennie.bought game a few years back.had professional service to boards 2 years ago.jeff from grand american jukebox,st.louis ,worked on pin connectors .installed altek boards ,new pinscore kit..game worked since.except had coin op cauldron do sub boards.squak and aux lamp driver.they have been repaired in last year.first game today game played fine.second game ,won't start.going to replace switch and diode this eve.i have new parts onhand.but feel it is dirty contact.also ? .what is best way to clean those pin connectors.thanks for help ,I will post results of switch replacement later this eve.

Switch replaced,but did not solve problem.is there a certain pin that controls the start switch on mpu,board.or sub board.

Hey guys,found problem.it was a loose connection or dirty connection.as I was wiggling plugs and pushing start button I found problem.its this plug on altek board.( see pic).right lower plug in.flash is ready to party this Friday night.and yes I did Mylar overlay with custom colored inserts.original colors sucked in my opinion.looks a lot better than orig.again thanks guys for trying.

Thanks for info wdennie.im pretty much a newbie in the hobby.so I'm still learning alot.will see about those connectors.again it was the plug below the test buttons on the altek board for anyone who experiences same problem.and again wdennie ,thanks for the info on upgrade .

(UPDATE).JUST TALKED TO DAVE AT ALTEK.the correct connectors for upper boards are ( point 1 spacers.)the .156 are bigger plugs that connect to bottom board ( fuses),ect. JUST did not want anyone to be confused.and a reminder if I forget. ( DUH).
