Big Brave
Gottlieb, 1974Ok... so I got a non working Big Brave... and I have managed to get it going to a point... it plays and everything seems to score right...
but with a few issues...
Sometimes it kicks the ball out as soon as you power it on.
It does not always show the ball count on the back box.
Always on ball two the back box lighting dims like there is a short happening, but only on ball 2
The machine will not end a game... it keeps throwing balls out.
HELP!
Quoted from pinhead52:For the backbox lighting, check the strip of lights above player 2 score reels, look for shorts there
Actually, check the Player unit for that. See the clip in post 2.
OK... I have gotten further... shorted light socket for the light for ball 2... that is now fixed...
and I cleaned the contacts on the player unit in the back box, I now get ball in play lights...
now after the 5th ball the game will show a match number... but it gets stuck in a loop trying to reset the drop targets...
since it is stuck in the loop the game over relay never fires... so close... now what?
Quoted from Lathroum:it gets stuck in a loop trying to reset the drop targets
Do the drop targets reset?
Quoted from HowardR:Do the drop targets reset?
And what happens if you make them reset?
Quoted from Lathroum:it gets stuck in a loop trying to reset the drop targets
Does this happen at when you start a new game, at the end of a game, when the ball drains, or at some other time?
