Quoted from statictrance:got a question for the group... I'm between houses and have my F-14 in a buddy's house, and my tools are mostly packed. I'm having issues and wondered if anyone on here had a similar issue.
- Kickers are not firing (middle two, upkick, kickback, and, yagov, and right lane)
- All other solenoids are firing fine
- A/C relay is fine
I'm told there may be a faint smell about the machine... Not sure if this could be a burnt coil since I haven't een there to check it yet... Trying to determine if I even have access to some basic tools to make a repair or if my friend inherited a 300 pound paperweight until I close on my new house in two months. Any help greatly appreciated.
sounds like the 2.5A SB fuse in the backbox with the vio-yel wires attached to it
Quoted from StylesBitchly:That red powder coat is great!
How did you do the speaker grill mods? They are cool!
How come your habit rails look gold in some pics and silver in others?
A friend of mine printed them for me - wasn´t exactly cheap, though.
I have a spare set if you´re interested....
The habitrails are chrome, the gold is just my lousy photographing skills......
Quoted from bobukcat:I encountered an odd situation last night when fixing my F14 that resides at my sister's house (I'm out of space). None of the ejects, diverters or the ball popper would fire in game or in test. Having seen this before I knew that the 2.5 amp slow-blow fuse was going to be blown and it was. I expected a shorted drive transistor but they all tested fine so I put another fuse in it and it popped immediately when I powered the game back on though I didn't hear anything firing. I decided to jumper the fuse very quickly to see what was locked on and burning the fuse but I got nothing, no sparks, no coil or flasher stuck on, nothing. I thought maybe it blew the 4 amp on the other side of the rectifier but it was fine. So I put another fuse back in it and everything worked fine, played five or six games with multiball and the kickback firing and everything continued to work just fine. I have no idea what was blowing that fuse but apparently a little extra current through whatever it was fixed it.
did you use the exact same fuses each time? I had a similar effect with ceramic fuses, but since I put in a regular fuse everything is fine
