Shill post: The Classic Pinball Podcast has just dropped their latest episode on Centaur.

Ok. I’m not. Lots of listeners so far. Thanks folks!

It’s been awhile since I had to work on this beast. No bonus lights. Everything else seems to be in order. This game is all original and I think those wire insertion connectors are the most likely culprit. I’ll start with light board connectors and aux board. Could be a fuse. Any suggestions? I just didn’t feel like getting under the hood to explore.

A coat hanger…..interesting mod……the question is why?

Please join Dave and George for podcast #106 Centaur re-examined with their special guest John Day.

I recently moved my game and believe I am having a ball trough switch issue. Moving a game 500 miles in a uhaul might have misaligned a switch or two? In 2 ball multiball, and the first ball drains, the game acts as if both have drained and begins to award bonus. I’ve read this thread and other posts and I need an explanation of how to correct. This game has had no issues and has played well for many years prior to moving. Everything else works.

If I put the game into a five ball multiball by hitting stationary red target in the queens chamber the game only launches 2 of the 4 balls. This leads me to thinking it’s switch #1, trough switch4.

It was suggested that a separate thread be created to archive how this mechanism works and some of the areas that may need attention to fix. It’s a complex mechanism that needs some detailed documentation. There is some information but it takes some searching. Thanks to those who posted their fixes in this thread. I appreciate any help or suggestions to solve my issue. Thanks.
