Centaur Power Fluctuations

Dear Lloyd


I have this great Centaur that has been fully working for several years. Now it has suddenly start to behave weak.

The gi and insert light is weak and the coil for multiball does not kick the balls hard enough to enter the pf. They kicks out but rolls back down the plungerlane and rest on the plungertip. Seems like bumpers and flippers have full power.

At very few times the power has suddenly went strong while playing and the playfield lights up strong and the balls kicks out the way they should...

Any suggestion?

Sounds like weak connectors involving power. Time for new connectors and pins on the board, for the things weak or weak and going strong.


Thank you,
