Getaway: High Speed II, The
Williams, 1992Hi everyone, I was repairing some burned out lights on my getaway high speed 2 and when I went to play the plunger wouldn’t work at all. However when I pressed the flipper for some reason it launched. I was wondering how you would go about fixing this. Also the left and right bumpers are not working so I’m assuming there is some power short somewhere in the machine. Any help would be great and if you need I can provide pictures. Thanks
I'd raise the playfield and look carefully at the wires leading to the plunger. One is probably pinched and shorted.
Go into your switch test and check 33 Gear Shifter low, 34 Gear Shifter high, 78 Shooter, 61-63 the Jet bumpers. Are any of them not working?
A Getaway local to me does this as well, is this a setting or compensation for a bad shifter switch?
Quoted from RVApinballer:is this a setting or compensation for a bad shifter switch?
Setting A.2 05 on page 1-29 in the manual says it is a setting.
Quoted from Karpy1717:It says check switch 74 and shifter error. I’m not sure how to find the switch test though. I went into the test menus and couldn’t find those
Look on page 1-13 in your manual. You can try the switch edges (T.1) and/or the single switch (T.3). If you don't have a manual you can get one from IPDB.org.
Quoted from Karpy1717:It does look like one wire( the one that’s the highest up and is white and red) has wires that have come out of the soldering?
On the last page of your manual is a chart for the switch matrix. Row two uses a White-Red wire. Are any of those switches where you saw the wires that have come out or was that on your shifter or auto-plunger or flipper?
