Quoted from simonzzz:

the crystal on the CPU board

What do you mean "crystal"??

Also,Try reseating the connectors on the opto board..Put the game in switch test,Using a business card or a piece of cardboard test those optos and see if they are registering properly on the display.Sometimes if an opto is misalined or misadjusted it won't register fast enough/Properly.

Quoted from Homepin:

solenoids in test mode they work VERY differently

They are more powerful because they are being tested one at a time

Quoted from Homepin:

I don't know this is the case in the Getaway

They are all the same

Quoted from Homepin:

Not really - in our machines they are sent a different length pulse in test mode compared to actual game play where they are fired differently depending on the actual application.

Your in a different country,Maybe more or less volts

I don't know this is the case in the Getaway I'm just speaking from our own experience where (in a Homepin pinball)

Hmmmm,I see you just learned all of the sudden,Thanks to the net.

Quoted from Homepin:

I have no idea what you are on about? Anyway - let me quote my original post where I was trying to offer assistance to the OP with his problem - how about you don't chop my post up to suit some alternate agenda you seem to have:
"Also, be aware that the "speed of switch registering" during test mode compared to how the switches are looked at during actual game play could be very different.
Just because it seems like a slow response in test does not 100% mean it is also slow during game play - it may well be arranged like that to enable easier testing and fault finding???
I don't know this is the case in the Getaway I'm just speaking from our own experience where (in a Homepin pinball) if you operate the solenoids in test mode they work VERY differently to when they are switched by the microprocessor during actual game play."

Can't you take a joke?? No need for lectures!! We have a Pin here that needs attention...You can make your own thread talking about your experience

Quoted from Homepin:

I really don't know why I waste my time here....I was making a very valid suggestion...I fail to see why you think otherwise? I don't get your joke? Maybe it's a cultural difference thing? I have no idea.
Anyway, good luck to the OP with your issue.

I never asked you for any info or any of your advice..You just typed all that stuff,Doesn't make any difference to me I don't care!!
