Quoted from PinHigh1:

Just picked up my first System 3 and am trying to troubleshoot several things - it powers on fine but when I open the coin door, all power is cut off...which I understand is normal because of the interlock switch. However, this makes troubleshooting via the switch/coil tests a real PITA. I know I can hold the switch closed while pressing the test button, but then I need a third hand to manually hit the switches on the playfield! What's the trick - just raise the playfield and close the coin door while performing tests??

Pull out on the interlock switch while the door is open.

Quoted from PinHigh1:

Ok I had a chance to go look again ..duh...pulling it out is the answer although counterintuitive. Thanks for the help. While I'm at it...I have another quick question about troubleshooting a coil. It had a blown fuse so I replaced it. Haven't played a game yet as I wanted to further troubleshoot before activating power as I am assuming the fuse will blow again. Checked the coil lugs and they get power fine. Went to the transistor in question that controls the coil. Grounded alligator clips to the metal tab on Q12...and the non-working coil fired but I also got a spark at the transistor. Is this telling me I have a short between the board and the coil somewhere? Or something else? Thx!!

To get a spark when doing that would be normal. If the coil isn’t locked on your transistor isn’t shorted. Does it work in test or when playing a game? If not, the transistor may be failed open.

Quoted from bdw85:

Just joined the club by purchasing a Stargate, one of my favorite pins from my childhood. A nice trip down memory lane. Has anyone tried installing a color dmd in their Stargate? I've never been super hot about color dmds but the preview video has me interested. https://shop.colordmd.com/colordmd-replacement-display-for-stargate-pinball-machine/

My LCD display was just delivered today. I have family in town so not sure when I will get to install it. With SG you either have to find a new clear speaker panel or remove the red from the existing.

I've got an svg for the layout of the speaker panel plastic in this google drive share if that's any help.

Thank you, but unfortunately I wouldn’t know where to begin. Lol
