All,

Joined the club about a year ago, and have slowly refurbishing my machine from what was sold to me as a "shopped player" to a reliable working machine. So far I've:

- did a playfield swap (good times...)
- went full LED except for flashers
- rebuilt all flippers
- rebuilt the pop bumper (thanks for advice again Snux)
- Installed a playfield protector (no one wanted to clear coat the NOS playfield I had)
- had the MPU board overhauled

The game plays great--it's amazing what a good pop bumper will do for your scores. Now I'm down to last few problems. Both flashers #6 (blue covered one on the lower right "C-A-T" bank and flasher #7 (under the carrier center plastic in the middle of the playfield) are inop. In the coil test menu all working flasher make an audible "click" before flashing. Flashers 6 & 7 don't. I have continuity/power to both which makes me think it's a snubber board/relay. Before I go buying a few of these, I was hoping to see what opinions all of you may have. Thanks in advance...

Quoted from Snux:

And if they haven't fallen off, check the solder. They can indeed get hot enough (or rattled enough) to desolder themselves but they don't always fall off.
The click you are hearing is the A/C select coil, switching over to allow the flashers to fire instead of the coils. Odd you don't hear it on #6 and #7, but check the resistors first. There are no other relays involved with those flashers, snubber boards are only used on coils....

All,

Thanks for the advice. Already checked that all resistors are in place. Will check solder connections on the resistor boards. Also, ordered a couple new snubber boards to replace where those two flasher wires terminate. Will update once I have some time this weekend.
