Hello people,
I sold my Funhouse to someone that lives quite far away, of course the game worked well for years but after a few days at the new owners place there is suddenly a problem with Rudys mouth not opening.
I need to be prepared so i can resolve the problem.

The motor is getting power, the photo of the gears looks okay. Maybe something is jammed, i cannot tell. There is an opto for the jaw on the switch matrix does anyone know exactly for what? Is it just the kick out?
So i cannot imagine it’s a fuse, possible gear issue.
Is there anything it could be besides getting jammed or having broken gears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Rob

The jaw opto is used to detect "hitting Rudy"
It is located just in front of Rudys mouth on each side of the ball guides

Have him go to the test menu and see if rudy works in test mode

It could be so many things. Coil wire got disconnected. Gear problem. Something binding. Board problem. Problem with another component on same row or column of switch matrix. This will be hard to diagnose from afar. Maybe suggest the new owner get on here and work through it with the group

Thank you, i will go over on monday and take a look myself. I just would like to have the most likely parts with me so i don’t have to go back a second time. I am hoping it’s the gears or opto. Things i can replace fairly easily….. board work isn’t my thing and diagnosing board problems would be an issue for me.
