Hi everyone. Trying to help out a local private owner get his machine up and running 100% and want to make sure we're on the right track. Two significant issues to address.

One is the Squwak N Talk, which I understand is a common spot of problem. In his case, he was told the board was relatively new when he bought it and it worked saying "eightball deluxe", etc on power up. Now, it's intermittent at best. The green LED on the board is rarely on, unless I move the wires on the wiring harness (noticed this when I was simply moving the panel it was mounted to looking for any obvious problems), then it flashes and we hear some cracking through he speakers. I tried reseating the harness, and visually checked for any loose connections, but couldn't at any point get voice to return. A few times in the process we lost all audio & sound effects. Not sure what the next logical step would be here, was thinking of maybe a new connector at the SNT board?

Second issue also has me wanting more information to try and keep the fix as simple as possible, but I'm still very much learning on these things. The ball launch coil is intermittent. In test mode, you can hear the click, but more often than not it doesn't fire. Occasionally it will fire. Is that likely just a coil replacement, or should I be looking for something different? I've not yet come across an 'intermittent coil', but like i said, I'm still learning. Thanks for reading!
