I am trying to help a friend with the Diner pinball they got from another friend, she was so happy i got the display working properly after help from the pinside forum members, well im in need again, i am ok with EM games and have a few but the newer more techy games are out of my lane, so what is happening now it the test run which i finally think i figured out how to do, states the ramp wont rise, that is one issue, nothing else came up on display but the 3 center drop targets wont come back up and also the chrome curve piece that directs the ball to cup? will not stay to new position to do this, is kinda move then goes back and seems to shudder/groan so im assuming it is something with coil? all 3 issues are seem to be coil related? would these be hooked? up somewhere together?I went under playfield and they move as should when i manually move them, soo im hoping for a direction to start to look.

Wow what knowledge you have! ok i will go over and see what i can try from your info, fuses i will check again, that i understand but if it gets into transistors??? well lets hope not. Thanks for you info and direction to start

ok well i will try to find that and how to test, when i did a test it came up on display ramp wont rise, and the center drop targets i would think would have pushed up from coil? i know the test did the GI or lamps check but going over and will try to find the coil test to run thanx

well found a fuse F7 blown, i dont have a 5A to put in so going to get one, i hope that is the coil issue or if it keeps blowing, i gotta figure its a coil issue on ramp or center target bank or chattering chrome curved lane changer on right ramp, it chatters and does not work for lane change?

A GRAND thanks again for all input, put the F7 fuse in and seemed to remedy all 3 coil issues, ramp rises, center targets and chrome ramp divider, so if it holds or if it blows again I will assume one of the coil unit is jamming possilbly but hoping it will hold for her. Now gotta figure out why the right side lamps on back box, all are not coming on? learning alot from you and i will say it experts in knowledge on these games. Thanks again till next time, cause im looking to start to add some newer Pins to my EM collection.

well looking again for direction??? I checked the J7 and J6 connectors, wiggled and reset and wiggled most of wires while she watched the lamps with no flash or anything? the bulbs are good, the moon bulb lights which is the larger one in corner and the figure ones light but the right side of the smaller bulbs still cant figure? clock and left side smaller bulbs work, is the a specific fuse, although i checked all that i could find, but is the a specific one for the right side bulbs?

i saw no burnt look on either end, the fuses also look good, no breaks. i was thinking of next using my continuity tester on each wire that is not coming on to find out were it goes to??

ok and i know better i should have pulled the fuses to check i will go back but its hard now.....she is so happy that i, i mean me and all you forum helpers, go the other issues fixed so she can play it, the few lights out dont bother her!!!! But i want to get them working to so i will take some pictures and post and check fuses
