Waxed my Count-down today and when I finished putting it back together none of the sling switches would register.

These are the switches behind the drops and on all the other flat rubbered “sling” segments on the playfield. These all worked before I shopped the game and now everything else works fine but them.

At first I thought maybe one of them was stuck on so I adjusted them to make sure that wasn’t the case but they still don’t work.

I’d like to try the switch test but I don’t have a manual. So a bit stuck here.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Monday morning bump.

Does Count Down have coils under the slingshots?
The manual doesn't mention it has.
If it doesn't have coils, be sure to check all of the ten 10-points switches (#53).
If one of them is stuck closed, non of them will work.

Thx, got it!

No coils. They seem to be all on the same circuit from what I can tell.

Have you checked whether other switches in that row/column work?

I didn't have the manual previously. However, the only switches that are not functioning are the set of sling switches on the game.

I'll be able to do more tonight.

Good news- running the switch test showed that switch 34 was closed and I was able to find which one of the 10 switches was the culprit.

Game is working 100% again.

Thanks for your help guys.
