Hi Guys,

A little guidance if possible here...

I finally got back my original TFTC which was the first pin I ever owned purchased back in 1997, anyhow other then one or two flaky switches and a sticky upper flipper which a rebuild will address I notice the crypt motor constantly running the tombstone up and down. I first thought that maybe one of the two switches whether up or down might be flaked but they are both registering fine when up & down . Any idea where to look and why it might be doing this?

Thanks

Quoted from ImNotNorm:

Check the connectors for the tombstone....one of them is probably disconnected.

Okay I found three, 1 to each switch and the other to the motor all of which were connected fine.

Here is a link to the video of it, does it even without any game starting.

I'm actually beginning to think that being this happens immediately upon powering on that possibly my Q23 is shorted open. Is there a relay for this motor as well that needs to be checked? I don't see one in the manual but maybe I over looked it?

DE machines always seemed to have a feedback sound hum in them.... or at least the ones I have owned and played.

Quoted from dirtbag66:

This is more than the usual hum. It's full-on static and crackling OVER the music and sound effects. After a few minutes, they seem to warm up and everything sounds great.

Have you tried some contact cleaner of the volume pot? does it crackle more or less so as you are adjust the vol level?
