Cyclone
Williams, 1988Hi, Im new to owning a pinball machine (about 2 months now). today while playing the mystery wheel did not spin when the ball when into dragula's cave. I put the ball into it three times and no spin. it gave me points (different value each time). any suggestions (he has been working fine since I bought it) on what to check. Ive never messed with a pinball machine so have no clue where to start. (in the Seattle area)..
Hi,
The wheel starts spinning when the ball closes a switch when rolling/ resting on the ramp ender the playfield.
You should enter test mode with the diagnostic buttons on the coin door. Go to switch edge test and check the switch works fine (is closed) when you put the ball manually in the Dracula hole. If it does not, adjust or change the switch.
Then in test mode, go to the solenoid test and select the wheel, see if it spins or not.
If it does not spin, check the transistor that command the wheel (see the coil table in the manual). I do not remember exactly since I no longer have this machine, but see if there is a specific fuse for this wheel, the fuse might have blown up.
