Hi everyone I need some help. Just brought this game home & it is screwy. When I start a game when I launch the ball I immediately get a "ball saved" on the screen & a 2nd ball launches. Every time. Sometimes the ball even launches on its own, again followed by "ball saved" & 2nd ball. Game worked fine when I picked it up. Only thing I've done is install some new balls & upgrade the code from 1.03 to 1.05. All trough switches were tested & work fine so I'm at a loss.

#14428 11 months ago
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

It could be something simple like you have an extra ball installed in the game. Double check that before looking elsewhere.

Yep that was the first thing I checked. Thanks though. I replaced the balls when I got it home. 6 came out, 6 went in.

#14430 11 months ago
Quoted from Betelgeuse:

Check for false hits on your outlane switches. Ball save activates when either of those switches is hit too.

Yep you nailed it. Right outlane switch was funky although strange because it had seemed fine in switch test. Also I was assuming ball save didn't activate until it hit trough. Thanks!

Quoted from PinStalker:

So if a switch is weirded out...... what do you do to fix it? Just curious.

The wire needed adjusted, it was stuck on. Not sure how that happens in the course of traveling with a pin but it did. On pressing the switches this one didn't click, so I knew. Just had to do a little bending.

I put in the LE speaker upgrade. They are 4 ohm. Should I change the setting from 8 ohm to 4 ohm for these speakers?

#14484 11 months ago
Quoted from Good-Times:

You would think you should, but for me I think they do something other than impedance matching with this setting. Try it. I find the 4ohm setting makes the soundstage ridiculously compressed, and in 8ohm it opens right up.

I think I maybe notice the same. It won't hurt anything will it? To leave at 8ohm?

#14492 11 months ago
Quoted from PinStalker:

Hmmm, that didn't do anything.
Weird. It was fine last night. At the start of a ball, it does one ball and then bang right away puts another ball.... one, two.
I shoot the balls then let them drain, on the ball save it puts one ball into the trough and auto launches it (although twice I watched it put two balls into the trough during ball save - twice out of six times). Not sure how it would be smart enough to do one ball on ball save and not smart enough to do one ball for the start of a ball.

I just had this problem & for me the right outlane switch was stuck closed. Needed adjusted.

#14501 11 months ago
Quoted from Good-Times:

By doing this it's possibly giving the drivers less current than they should have; the worst that might happen is you'll fry a driver if you have it so loud that it's distorting/clipping. At normal volumes I don't think there is any risk.

So I set speakers back to 4ohm & enabled 10 band equalizer setting. I think it sounds a little better? Have you tried it? I'll have to play a few more games to see if I keep it.

What is the point of the top of the attic spinning mech? What information is it relaying to me depending on which side it is on?
