Quoted from jorourke6730:

Just purchased an exceptionally beautiful Funhouse restore but have 1 issue with it. When Rudy goes to sleep he wakes up almost immediately after the ball drops. No other issues at all. I took the glass off and stopped the ball after it drops thinking it might be activity on the play field waking him up. However he still only stays asleep maybe 3-4 seconds then wakes right up even with no activity on the play field at all. Maybe one snore that’s it. I can quickly toss the ball in his mouth and he ejects it correctly. Sound is perfect. Everything else works 100%. Passes all test. This has always been my favorite machine and it’s driving me crazy. I did find one post about the Opto board perhaps causing issues and replaced it but this didn’t fix the issue. I would appreciate any help or advise. Thanks!

Stuck or poorly adjusted switch in the jaw VUK? Wire fell off and shorting?

Go to switch edge test mode and go thru all the switches.

Test switches will a ball instead of a finger to be sure they will work in a game.

Quoted from kimpin:

I've worked with jorourke6730 on this some. We ran through the Rudy tests and they seemed to work correctly. A question did come up along the way. Should we expect the solenoid test #21 "Mouth Motor", to move Rudy's mouth? It seemed to barely move, and if you assisted the gears some, it would mechanically retract back to default position, but not with vigor. Next to #21 is solenoid #22, the Up/Down Driver. We couldn't get action out of that, but aren't certain what that solenoid does.
When Rudy "wake's up", it seems unnatural - like the program got to a dead end, and just went to some default game mode. Videos are coming soon.
We appreciate everyone's input on this!

Sounds like the jaw motor is blown or needs cleaning.

Old motors are slow and choppy, new motors are fast and crisp.
