Hi Lloyd,


I have a Bally Captain Fantastic Circa 1976 that stopped working. When I turn machine on the Drop Target set of targets pop up and keep trying to “reset” or pop up even though they are already reset. Additionally the Score Motor Cam assembly continues to rotate. If I hit the reset game button the ball will eject to the plunger and the Drop Target panel will stop cycling however the Score motor cams will continue to rotate.


Can you make a recommendation for repair?


Thanks

Hi


Either the game doesn't know the drop targets are up ( switches on them ) or what switch opens to turn off score motor is staying closed or staying closed too long.

Got a question for Lloyd?

Got pinball-related problems? Non-working game? Space issue? Tech challenge? Neglected wife or kids, due to pinball?
