I finally got in the club last weekend, needed new boards and they should be arriving today, fingers crossed it fires right up, the reality I know I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

Installed the Altek boards and the game fired right up! Played the hell out of it this past weekend.

Anyone have recommendations for color matches/ brands of paint for a fathom cabinet restoration? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Got to see the finished product and play it last night. It’s brutal and fun!

yeah available at planetary pinball, at least that was where I had gotten them

So have an interesting fathom issue was hoping someone here could help me with. My game was just restored it is beautiful and plays amazing. I just noticed one issue though. When I lock a ball in the blue lock (top right corner) as soon as I press the right flipper button the first inline drop target (3x) registers.....it does not drop...Directly shooting the target will drop it and then shooting the 4x and 5x everything behaves normally. If I press that flipper button and then shoot the left side drop targets it will drop the 4x thinking the 3x is already dropped. Any clue? It only seems to happen when the saucer switch and then right flipper button is activated that this happens.

Can I get some detailed pictures of the right flipper switches in the cabinet from some owners, I think I have narrowed down my issue to that wiring. Thank you. -Tommy

Beuller? Beuller?.....

Thank you!

I actually need he flipper switch that is actuated by the right flipper button on the lower cabinet side.

Thank you! An incredibly odd switch matrix issue. If ball locked in top saucer and top blue left side drop target is down flipper button on right causes issues. First flip cause 3x blue (1st blue in-line drop) to register but not drop. Subsequent flips register the star rollover just before the blue saucer causing you to score 50,000 points with every flip of the right flipper at that point. Locking a ball in the green saucer then stops the behavior during play. We discovered that bending the lane change switch on that cabinet side so it can’t be activated eliminated the problem. We tried a new diode in the spot and problem remained so I suspect mine may be wired incorrectly or diode is on wrong switch leads. If you could confirm he wire colors the diode is attached too and the band direction I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.

Thank you so much!

That fixed it!!!!

Just for future reference for anyone my red white wire was soldered to wrong place and the diode was backwards so I had multiple things wrong. Game now appears to be playing 100% and I’m thrilled!

One or more of your drop targets is likely not registering as being down. It is also probably impacting the spotted drop down on locked balls to the corresponding color. I would take the glass of and knock down each target 1 at a time until you find one that doesn't score. If they all score then the issue is something else.
