Special Force
Bally, 1986Hi folks I am looking for the switch matrix for my Bally special force. I have the electronic manual but it does not show it. I'm having trouble with the rocket E target and the to rollover switches in the capture ball. Hope someone has a good photo. Thank you....
Hi. I posted some photos in this thread. One is pretty clear of the switch matrix. Not the first photo -- just scroll down a bit. Good luck.

Could be the caps. Having a malfunctioning or missing cap can cause weird issues like awarding random points or targets not registering all the time. Also the switches might be gapped too close and fire randomly from the vibration caused by other things in the game. I would check those things first as they are common issues. If that isn't it, please describe the problem more specifically. There are a lot of switch matrix experts on pinside. As you can see from the other thread, I'm not one of them, but I'm learning. 
Oh, and if closing two switches makes another switch fire, it could be a bad diode. Terry who chimed in in my other thread has a great video about chasing down a bad diode.
