This is the first pinball machine I've worked on, so please excuse any dumb questions or misused jargon.
Our office has inherited an Embryon machine as non-working. After drilling out the lock in the head, I found that none of the harness wasn't hooked up, but everything seemed complete. After hooking up all the connectors to where I think they should go, I plugged the machine in and turned it on. It lit up and started making sounds, including the spoken word sound effects.
One of two noises chime when a coin is entered, but we can't seem to start a game. Nothing seems to happen when pressing the start button on the coin door. The credits say that there are 10 credits and adding more quarters doesn't increment the number.
When running the self-tests, a few light bulbs are burnt out, but the majority of them are lighting up.
The solenoid self-test triggers 1 of the solenoids every 15 seconds or so. I have a feeling that more of them should be triggering, but I don't know if I need to do something during the self-test. Perhaps the solenoids aren't working, which is causing the game not to work?
