I have previously started a topic about this game. Through the help of pinside members and a lot of patience, I was able to fix the issues. However, new issues have come to light.
1. The game is designed to count up a bonus and to score that bonus when the ball lands in a kickout hole. Some times the game works great and the ball will land in the kickout hole, a ball count unit in the back box will be activated, the bonus unit attached under the playfield will count down the bonus and then the ball will be kicked back out into play. Most often though, the ball will land in the hole and the ball count unit in the backbox will run endlessly without activating the bonus countdown unit and without kicking out the ball. Other times, the score reel will spin endlessly and not kickout the ball. Without a schematic, I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Does anyone know where I can find a schematic for this game? I have been using the Sonic "Face" schematic for the start up process, but the schematic doesn't help with the Cherry Bell bonus unit.
2. The third score reel (the 10,000 unit) will buzz loudly on the second and third player after the score has advanced. No play is affected, but the noise is very loud. It does the same thing on the first player reel, but not as loudly. I have removed the reels, taken them apart and cleaned them. I cleaned the contacts on the reel and on the 10000 point relay. I'm not sure why the reel coil is staying activated only on the 10000 unit.
3. The game will not go to a 4th player. I have plenty of credits on the wheel, but haven't ever been able to activate more than 3 players.
The first issue is the most important. If I can fix that issue, the game could at least be played as a one player game.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
